The combined redox electrode XRPTST1 from Chauvin Arnoux is a specific accessory for the pH meter C.A 10101 and is designed for precise measurement of redox potential (ORP) in various solutions. It is intended for use in laboratories, water treatment, and other applications where determining redox potential is important. The electrode integrates a PT1000 temperature sensor, enabling accurate temperature measurement and thus ensuring automatic temperature compensation of redox readings. This feature improves measurement accuracy, as redox potentials are temperature-dependent and may lead to measurement errors without compensation.

Applications

The electrode is suitable for general use in laboratories and field applications. It is particularly used in areas where the redox potential of liquids must be monitored, such as in drinking water or wastewater treatment, the food industry, or chemical processes. The combination of redox and temperature measurement in a single device reduces the number of required sensors and simplifies the measurement procedure.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The XRPTST1 is a combined redox electrode that enables both redox potential (ORP) measurement and temperature measurement in a single component. The integrated PT1000 temperature sensor is a platinum-based resistance thermometer designed for high measurement accuracy and stability in liquid temperature measurements. Automatic temperature compensation ensures that redox readings are converted to a standard temperature (typically 25 °C), guaranteeing comparability of results across different measurement conditions.

Technology Explained Simply

Redox potential (ORP) is a measure of the oxidizing and reducing capacity of a solution. It is expressed in millivolts (mV) and is an important parameter for assessing chemical activity in liquids. The electrode measures this value through an electrochemical reaction at the electrode surface. The integrated PT1000 sensor simultaneously measures the temperature of the solution, which is directly incorporated into the measurement calculation. This enables precise and reproducible measurements that are independent of temperature fluctuations.

Compatibility and Accessories

The electrode is designed exclusively for the pH meter C.A 10101 from Chauvin Arnoux. It is not a universal accessory, but specifically adapted to the interfaces and measurement logic of this device. The combination of redox and temperature sensor in a single component reduces the number of required measuring devices and simplifies installation and maintenance.

Mounting and Installation

The electrode is inserted directly into the pH meter C.A 10101, with the exact mounting instructions following the respective device specifications. The connection is made via the device’s standardized interface. The electrode is designed for use in liquids and must be fully immersed in the solution to be measured in order to provide accurate readings. Handling is simple, as no additional calibrations or settings are required, provided the device is correctly calibrated.

Advantages in Operation

The combination of redox and temperature measurement in a single component reduces the number of required sensors and decreases the complexity of the measurement system. Automatic temperature compensation ensures higher measurement accuracy and reproducibility of results. The electrode is robust and designed for use in laboratory and field conditions, ensuring long service life and reliable performance. The simple handling and integration into the C.A 10101 measuring device facilitate daily use in technical and scientific applications.
