Digital meters don't work too well, due to lack of ions in the oil. They measure degree of acidity etc not amount of Go to phenolphthalein as the man says and save loads of grief. If you want to look a pH of oil, use an aquarium wide band pH tester - it does give an indication Biofuel at

My Solution of 1gm caustic and 1000ml distilled H2O has a PH of 12.2. When I put 1 ml of wvo in 99% IPA then try to titrate with the caustic soln. I only get about 0.2ml in before I hit 8.2 PH. This is dark brown WVO so I don't think that reading is right. I have done a test batch with

Hi all. Well, I thought I'd have a play about with learning titration. On the practical side I'm at a loss here. This is what I ve done. I mixed 1ml of wvo with 10ml Isopropol alcohol (ipa) I made up a working solution of lye with distilled water 1 litre and 1 gm of caustic. I buffered my digital
