What Does ORP Stand For?

ORP stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) refers to the measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and thereby be reduced. It is an important parameter in various fields, including chemistry, environmental science, and biology, as it indicates the oxidative or reductive capacity of a solution. ORP is typically measured in millivolts (mV) and helps assess water quality, microbial activity, and chemical reactions in different environments. High ORP values suggest a strong oxidizing environment, while low values indicate a reducing environment.
