ORP
« on: July 05, 2008, 11:47:37 AM »
Hi All,

Can anyone tell me at what instances will the ORP (oxidation reduction potential)values be negative? Is it acceptable/normal and what does negative ORP values mean?

Thanks!

0 is just a point on the scale, depending on the reaction potential can be anything. In practice you will rarely see something outside of the range -3 and 3 volts, but anything in between is common.
