Nine grades, measured, on one scale.
This is acid work. Six of the nine published figures sit between pH 1.3 and 2.0, one sits at pH 5.2, one at 7.5, one near 11. The scale below is the product list: every grade printed where its own published pH puts it, with the dilution ratio and the circulation window beside it. Nothing here is behind a form.

pH not published
Every industrial grade publishes a pH, so nothing sits in this gutter today. The 2 Lactaz grades with no published figure are both sold outside this range: Power Cleaner XT and Rust & Limescale Fix. If one ever moves here it is listed in this gutter, marked Not published, and never placed on the scale.
What Lactaz publishes for each grade
Nine grades across four products. pH, dilution ratio, circulation temperature and circulation time, exactly as Lactaz publishes them. No figure here is inferred, and a blank is written as a blank.

A figure marked range figure is published for the product range, not for that one grade. Read it as the window the range works in, not as a specification for the grade beside it. Unmarked figures are published against the grade itself.
