Choosing the Electrode for your Process
Process Electrode | Core Applications | Advantages | Limitations |
---|---|---|---|
Spherical | General Industrial |
• Quick readings • Most accurate readings |
• More frequent cleaning (application dependent) |
Flat | In-line or High Flow |
• Less maintenance • Accurate readings |
• Easier to foul readings in stagnant/low flow water |
Antimony | HF Acid Environments |
• High durability and resistance to mechanical stress • Chemically inert to substances like hydrofluoric acid • Suitable for measurements in harsh, non-conventional environments |
• Less accurate, pH range 4-10 • Require proper calibration with specific buffer solutions • Not suitable for very low ionic strength solutions (e.g., pure water) |
Hardened | Abrasive Flow | • Longer lifetime | • Slower response |
