GENERAL INFORMATION:
The
The
pNa tester utilizes a sodium ion-selective elec-
trode to determine the activity of free sodium in
solution.

pNa = -log a
Na
In dilute solutions, the activity coefficient is nearly 1
and in such solutions
and in such solutions
pNa is a good indicator of the
sodium ion concentration. The relationship between
the pNa scale and the g/L Na
the pNa scale and the g/L Na
+
scale is explained
in the chart below.
A double junction reference is used to ensure a
highly stable reading. If you suspect that the
calibration has drifted, you can recalibrate the
meter by using a solution of known concentration.
Adjust the reading with the calibration trimmer.

the chart.
• Move vertically upwards to intersect with the 45º
line.
• Move horizontally and read the g/L Na value.
E.g. pNa = 1.4
g/L = 0.9
OPERATION:
• Remove the protective cap and turn
the meter on with the ON/OFF switch

• The reading on display is directly
expressed in pNa unit. Use the chart
