La détermination du pH peut se faire par une méthode colorimétrique ou potentiométrique. La méthode colorimétrique est basée sur l’utilisation d’indicateurs colorés acido-basiques, c’est-à-dire des composés organiques appartenant à des couples acide-base de pKA bien définis et pour lesquels la couleur de la forme acide est différente de celle de la forme basique. 2, record 2, French, - indicateur

Nephelometric analysis depends upon the scattering of a beam of white light and is commonly used for turbidity measurement. A special instrument (nephelometer) measures the amount of light scattered to the side as the beam passes through the sample. 5, record 3, English, - nephelometry
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In nephelometry the intensity of the light scattered at right angles to the light beam by a suspension is measured, rather than the decrease in the intensity of directly transmitted light as in turbidimetry. 6, record 3, English, - nephelometry
