things have progressed a long way since litmus :)
you can get pH indicator papers in a range of ranges :) and resolutions. Scientific supply houses would be the place to start looking. I have 3 sets in my hand right now: one set, made by Macherey-Nagel, pH 4.5- 10.0 in 0.5 gradations another set, made by EM Science, pH 6.5 - 10.0 in 0.3 gradations lastly, also EM science, 6.5-1.0 in 0.2 gradations. they all have particular colour changes and charts on the packages.
pH papers would be the cost effective solution for the occasion pH tester. Alistair
