pH value: Sensors
Appropriate sensor is fundamental to any measurement setup. Variety of different types and variants are available, depending on the measured quantities, sensor dimensions, as well as usage workflow, environment, and installation method. The vast majority of sensors listed below are just components of a larger measurement setup, and can therefore be satisfactorily used only with a compatible analyzer. Sensors for in-technology measurements should be installed inside our probes, ensuring their fixing and protection, and these connect to a terminal block. Variants for laboratory and portable usage are terminated with the appropriate connector. Sensors generally have the shortest lifetime of the entire setup, due to direct contact with the measured medium.
pH sensors
Glass sensors for measuring pH integrate both the pH electrode and the required reference electrode in one unit.
Individual variants differ depending on the purpose of the sensor, mainly in terms of length, shaping of the active part and method of attachment. Sensor cables for laboratory use are terminated with a connector according to the type of instrument used.
Glass electrodes cannot be used in the presence of fluoride ions. In this case, antimony electrodes (available on request) are used. The alternative designations listed below apply to previously supplied sensors.

Reference electrodes
For sensors that do not have an integrated reference electrode, separate reference electrodes are required – this is often the case with ion-selective electrodes. Since a pair of separate electrodes is then used, industrial applications will need a suitable probe or flow-through unit that allows at least two sensors to be installed.
Commonly supplied sensors for measuring pH and ORP have the required reference electrodes already integrated, so there is no need to supplement them with additional electrodes.

Temperature sensor TTK21
Separate temperature sensors are primarily used to compensate for the temperature dependence of sensors not equipped with built-in temperature sensing. This improves the accuracy of the measurement. The measured temperature reading is usually also available as an output for the user.
