Step 3: Electrode Type and Material Selection
|
Electrode Type |
Application Notes |
|
Button |
Standard electrode design. Use for most applications, especially where abrasion is a concern. Has fair resistance to coating which can be improved by properly sizing sensor. |
|
Bullet-nose |
Use where coating is a concern and no solids are present. Bullet-nose electrode should not be used in abrasive or slurry applications as the particles will result in increased process noise on the electrodes. |
Electrode Material |
Application Notes |
|
316L SST |
Standard electrode material. Compatible with most low concentration water based applications. Avoid using stainless in higher concentration acid applications. |
|
Nickel Alloy 276 |
Use in medium to high concentration acids where SST is not acceptable. Use in applications with high chloride concentrations, such as sea water. |
|
Platinum |
Ideal for liquor applications found in pulp and paper industry. Also ideal as a spare electrode option to cover nearly every application in a plant. Compatible with nearly every process fluid. |
|
Tantalum |
Ideal for high concentration acid flows such as hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. |
|
Titanium |
Ideal for high concentration caustic (base) applications such as sodium and potassium hydroxides. |
