The glass electrode with tip is a special accessory for the pH meter C.A 10101 by Chauvin Arnoux and is designed for precise pH measurement in the range of 0 to 14. It is specifically designed for applications in the food industry, particularly for measuring pH in cheese and other semi-solid products, where high measurement accuracy is required. The electrode body is made of robust PVC, ensuring high mechanical stability and chemical resistance. The fine, tapering glass membrane enables precise insertion measurement in dense or semi-solid media, thereby improving measurement accuracy in challenging materials. The electrode has a diameter of 6 mm at the tip and a total length of 123 mm, making it compact and suitable for various operating conditions. Connection is via an 8-pin DIN plug, which is waterproof and thus ensures a secure connection to the measuring device.

Applications

The electrode is specifically developed for use in the food industry, particularly for pH measurement in cheese and other semi-solid products. The tapering glass membrane enables precise measurement in dense materials, resulting in more reliable measurement results. The robust PVC housing protects the sensitive internal components and ensures a long service life, even with frequent use in industrial environments.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The electrode is a combined single-rod measuring chain, in which the measuring electrode and reference electrode are housed in a single enclosure. The measuring electrode consists of a glass membrane that reacts to hydronium ions and generates a voltage proportional to the hydrogen ion activity. The reference electrode provides a constant reference potential. The measuring device detects the potential difference between the two electrodes and converts it into a pH value. The reference electrolyte is a polymer that does not require refilling, ensuring the electrode is always ready for use and less susceptible to contamination. The diaphragm is open and made of ceramic, enabling direct contact with the measuring medium and minimizing clogging.

Technology Explained Simply

The glass electrode with tip operates on the principle of a single-rod measuring chain, where the measuring electrode and reference electrode are integrated into one housing. The glass membrane at the tip reacts sensitively to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the measuring medium. The generated voltage is transmitted to the pH meter C.A 10101 via the 8-pin DIN plug. The polymer electrolyte inside the electrode ensures stable and continuous conductivity without requiring refilling. The open ceramic diaphragm provides direct contact with the measuring medium, preventing measurement errors caused by clogging.

Compatibility and Accessories

The electrode is exclusively designed for the pH meter C.A 10101 by Chauvin Arnoux. Compatibility is ensured by the waterproof 8-pin DIN connector. Suitable accessories include the Pepsin/HCl solution (125 ml), which is suitable for maintenance and calibration of the electrode. The electrode is not intended for other measuring devices or connection types.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by simply inserting the electrode into the corresponding connector of the pH meter C.A 10101. The waterproof design of the DIN plug ensures a secure and interference-free connection. The electrode is immediately ready for use, as no electrolyte refilling is required. Calibration is recommended before first use and after prolonged periods of inactivity, using the specified Pepsin/HCl solution.

Operational Advantages

The electrode offers high measurement accuracy in semi-solid products such as cheese, thanks to the tapering glass membrane. The robust PVC housing and polymer electrolyte ensure a long service life and low maintenance requirements. The open ceramic diaphragm minimizes clogging and associated measurement errors. The waterproof design of the DIN plug protects the connection and increases reliability in industrial use.
