Agri-Meters Analog Handhelds Measuring EC Myron L

Myron L Agri-Meters Analog Handhelds are specially designed for fast, accurate measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) and pH, offering vital insights into soil, water, and fertilizer conditions. Ideal for growers, agronomists, and greenhouse operators, these rugged handheld instruments make it easy to monitor key parameters that influence plant health: pH, salinity (soluble salts), and nutrient concentration.

Available in two models—AG-5 (conductivity only) and AG6/pH (conductivity + pH)—these instruments are trusted tools in soil analysis, fertilizer solution monitoring, and agricultural water quality testing. With user-friendly operation, automatic temperature compensation, and durable design, Agri-Meters provide reliable performance in field and greenhouse environments.

Features

1. Dual-parameter testing (AG6/pH model)

2. Automatic temperature compensation
   Ensures consistent conductivity readings by compensating to 25°C (77°F) across a wide sample temperature range (10–71°C / 50–160°F).

3. Rugged and reliable build
   Features a heavy-duty ABS case, moisture-sealed circuitry, and a chip/crack-resistant polyethylene cell cup designed for long-lasting field use.

4. Easy calibration and maintenance
   Finger-adjustable calibration knobs for pH Zero, Gain, and Conductivity make recalibration quick and convenient, even in the field.

5. Replaceable pH sensor (AG6/pH)
   Field-replaceable KCl gel-filled pH electrode allows easy maintenance without downtime or specialized tools.

6. Compact and portable
   Lightweight and handheld at under 1 lb., Agri-Meters are easy to carry and operate, making them ideal for quick spot checks or routine sampling.

Applications

• Soil analysis: Evaluate pH and salt levels to optimize fertilizer efficiency and ensure healthy plant growth, especially in artificial media.

• Fertilizer solution testing: Prevent over- or under-feeding by ensuring correct nutrient concentrations in irrigation systems.

• Irrigation water quality: Monitor salinity and pH in groundwater, rain-fed sources, or recycled water to minimize salt buildup and plant stress.

• Greenhouse management: Maintain ideal growing conditions for crops in controlled environments by testing root-zone and runoff water.

• Pesticide solution preparation: Ensure proper pH of pesticide mixtures to enhance effectiveness and stability.

• Boiler water conductivity: Use as a secondary application for checking water quality in agricultural heating systems.
