pH is an indicator of acidity.

A substance registering a pH between 1 & 6 is Acidic (Possibly corrosive).ph of '7' is Neutrality e.g. water.

pH between 8 & 14 is Alkaline ( possibly corrosive).

pH is a logarithmic scale of the level of hydrogen ions in a substance.

Numerically larger the pH , then there are less hydrogen ions present.

Ph is not a substance. It is actually a measurement. Ph is a scale from 1-10, with the lower Ph substances being more acidic, and the higher being more basic (base substances). Water is a 7 on the scale.

A pH range to define materials as corrosive or not does not exist under DOT regulations. Under the new global harmonized system (GHS) a material may be classified as corrosive if pH is <2 or >11.5.
