Could this be used to calibrate a soil pH meter like the Kelway?

The Kelway instructions are vague regarding calibration although they say to not use it in liquids. From the Kelway instructions, it appears that it can be calibrated without chemicals using a small screwdriver.

If you want to monitor your well water continuously, this pen will work, just make sure you calibrate it occasionally. If you just want a general idea of the pH of your well water, I'd go for a roll of pH paper strip.

Yes, and the meter includes a K-type bead thermometer probe.You can use a variety of other K-type probes with a K-type adapter (bought separately), also available as a separate accessory from Fluke and even some other companies.

I have owned a couple of them, and I have never calibrated...so I would say no...it's a very simple, pedometer...

I think so but I'm uncertain. It wouldn't surprise me though if it doesn't work properly. It's probably not calibrated to work with it specifically.

You can purchase some calibration solution at almost any gardening/hydroponics shop. The solution is a perfect 4.0. You put a little in a cup (about an inch) and place the tester in there, in the on position. If you don't read 4.0, you can turn that little screw in the back until you do. Thats it. Calibrated.

There is no "calibration" procedure for this unit (at lease not one listed in the manual). I suppose one might measure a known quantity of distilled water at a specific temperature and see how accurately the unit measures that calculated weight.

Yes. The instructions call it "Self-Calibration." It instructs to put the stem into one inch of ice water and then push the CAL button for 2 seconds.

They only give you enough for a one time calibration. You will need to buy the appropriate storage solution. A little goes a long way.

Yes it can. It states that it can test both urine and saliva to give you the most complete picture of your pH

It probably would- haven't tried it that way- but when thinking about it- the compost that we have been putting the thermometer in is almost like soil so I would think it would work. Probably not compacted soil though. Id go for it- the thermometer is durable.

The short answer is yes. I use this to measure elevation gain on short hikes. It is not great for hiking as the altitude always starts on "0" (not the actual starting altitude) and when you turn it off it looses all data. It does stay charged long enough for shorter hikes but will be of no value for a backpacking trip. It will return to zero if you go up, and then back down.

Yes according to the directions. I bought it for that purpose, suitcases and shipping boxes. I've not yet had the opportubity to use it for them. Instructions have about 6 steps to calibrate.

yes just this. how ever you should also use "PH Calibration Solution (PH 4.01)" to ensure your pH pen is set right.

Baseline calibration should be the water source for your project. The meter came out of the box pre-calibrated for me. I assume if you want to set the baseline at 0 you can use reverse osmosis water. I never had to calibrate mine and it gave accurate readings.

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

It is not recommended. This is meant to be used as a calibration solution to calibrate pH meters. If you need to adjust the pH up or down, we recommend using a pH Up or Down Adjustment solution.
