This failed strategy has been going on at least since the so-called
Green Revolution, not just since the advent of RR soy. But it doesn't
work? Of course it doesn't work, but look at the profits! And the
market-sector. It works. - K

Why a pH meter Joshua?.
Acidity does not makes sense in an oil phase. The right thing is to make a
titration
pH has no sense nor numeric sense in a non aqueous systems

Joshua,
I would suggest a Oakton ultra basic PH tester. If you visit you
local hydroponics shop I am sure they will have one for you. I suggest
staying away from a Hanna meter.

Yes, Andres Secco is right. If you want to determine the free acidity of the
virgin oil, you should use titration. But if you want to determine the pH
value of the finished biodiesel (which should be close to 7) a pH meter is
handy. But the pH has to be measured in a water phase, e.g. 10%
I agree Jan you are right with the pH meter in this way for the biodiesel.

Sorry for the late reply.
Just to add my vote of thanks - the methanol test is simple and
useful, it's helped a lot of people.
I'd like to add this development to the quality testing section at

My Hanna's been ok - it was around 40-50 USD. I'm sure you could get a
better one, though. I've been pretty good about calibrating it. I
haven't used an Oakton. Some people have had good luck with finding a
meter at places that sell beer-brewing supplies.
YMMV,

Hi Keith and Jan ;
I read this with interest but I am quite confused.
Please can we start by exlaining the underlying basis
for this test?? Is it that unreacted oil will not
dissolve in methanol? Are we trying to dissolve the
FAME in methanol and measure the remaining?? If we
are, then why is
