3.1 pH meter is an electronic device used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution by determining its pH level, which is a logarithmic scale ranging from 0 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly basic), with 7 being neutral.

3.2 Conductometer (or conductivity meter) is an electronic device used to measure the electrical conductivity of a solution. Conductivity is an indicator of the concentration of ions in the solution, which can be useful for assessing water quality, salinity, and the presence of dissolved salts or impurities.

3.3 Cloud Point and Pour Point Cloud Point and Pour Point are important properties of lubricating oils, fuels, and other petroleum products. They are used to assess the low-temperature performance of these fluids, particularly in cold weather conditions. The cloud point is the temperature at which dissolved solids (such as waxes) begin to crystallize out of a liquid, causing the liquid to appear cloudy. The pour point is the lowest temperature at which a liquid will flow or can be poured. |
