The FC098 is a 20 mm (0.8’’) long stainless steel piercing blade used with Hanna Instruments Foodcare pH electrodes designed to measure the pH of meat. This blade allows for the easy slicing into meat so that the pH electrode comes in contact with the internal meat product while protecting it from breakage. Pictured is the blade attached to a pH electrode that is purchased separately. Also available is the FC099 which is a longer version (35mm; 1.4”) of the blade. These blades are designed with a high quality stainless steel to provide a long life.
