APERA INSTRUMENTS Waterproof pH Tester Kit, ±0.1 pH Accuracy
This is our favorite pH meter for use in the tannery and we’ve tried a lot. This one reliably maintains accuracy (rarely need to calibrate), and crucially is truly waterproof. Hide tanning and dyeing are both highly governed by pH, and while you can certainly get by without measuring tools, they will give you much more consistent tanning results as well as help you learn a lot.
- Easy auto calibration with buffer recognition; auto temp compensation (ATC) ensures accuracy in various temperatures (32 to 122F).
- Quality pH sensor with low impedance, ensuring high response rate.
- Comes in a carrying case with pH 4&7 buffers.
- Auto recognition of stable values improves consistency, so you don’t have to guess when to manually hold measurement.
- Up to 2000 hours of continuous operation, powered by AAA batteries.

Thanks for the additional printout with directions and care instructions.
Turns out veg tanning hides involves a little chemistry. The good news is that the concepts and measures are pretty staightforward. Both these items come with clear instructions on use and interpretation. Easier that hi school chemistry class. If you are serious about consistent results with your tanning, these gadgets, the ph meter and the barkometer, will help you get there.
Nice little device to easily check pH.
I thought this was just the pricier version of a ph meter I could get online. Oh well, I'd rather support Traditional Tanners. I was wrong, the unit I received is top of the line with cool extra stuff! As usual I got more than I paid for from braintan.com.
Best one we have ever used
Works well
Great tool that takes the guesswork out
