A simple photoelectric arrangement is described for analysing the colour of the streaming fluid in various parts of the observation tube of a Hartridge-Roughton apparatus. The method has been applied especially to the colour changes of indicators, with the aid of which rapid H changes may be followed. Under favourable conditions an accuracy of 0-01-0.02 p H is reached, the distribution of the indicator between its two coloured forms being determinable to within about ± 1.0%.
