pH ELECTRODES
The pH electrodes were designed over 100 years ago. First glass electrode was designed by a polish physicist Zygmunt Klemensiewicz. For many years a set consisting of the separate measuring and reference electrodes was used. Now days, in most cases, the pH electrodes are offered as a one combination electrode. In one electrode body both the measuring and the reference electrodes were placed.
The offered electrodes differ in their purpose and the construction details.
It is very important to choose the right type of the electrode for the kind of measured sample. Wrong choice may result in unstable results, shortened lifetime and sometimes in total irreversible destroying of the electrode.
The differences in the electrode's constructions are connected with the different purposes of their use. There are different pH electrodes for the deionised water measurements, different for the clean water and different for the waste water, semi-solid substances, soil, food products or chemical compounds.
Electrodes offered for measurements in temperatures above 100 °C have different type of the glass than the standard electrodes which usually can work in temperatures 50 to 80 °C. There are huge differences in the construction of the electrolytic junction (diaphragm) which ensures the contact between the measured solution and the reference half cell. Most often a ceramic junction is used, now days electrodes with Teflon junction are getting popular as they have many advantages over standard types of junctions.
The electrodes designed for the continuous measurements in the industrial applications are characterised by a better resistance to higher pressure and a better self-cleaning of the membrane.
Elmetron offers a wide range of pH electrodes chosen accordingly to the purpose.
