When using ph paper it's barely necessary to tear paper off. Simply

place a drop of liquid you're testing on the end of the paper and

follow instructions for interprating results. The ph meter will give

you measurements in tenths and in hundredths if calibrated. You may

not need that much accuracy (precision). Dennis
