 The heart of a pH measurement system is a membrane made from special pH-selective glass on which a very thin layer of hydrogen ions is formed when dipped in water. At high pH values, this layer will have a low hydrogen concentration. However, at low pH values a large number of H<sup>+</sup> ions diffuse in the layer. By measuring the generated electrical potential (E) in the layer the corresponding pH can be computed.\\ The heart of a pH measurement system is a membrane made from special pH-selective glass on which a very thin layer of hydrogen ions is formed when dipped in water.
