4. Tip Shape
The glass bulb of a pH electrode is manufactured in different shapes.
Each shape serves a unique purpose.
Spherical: A spherical tip or rounded bulb is the most common
shape for a pH electrode. It provides a large surface area for
the sample to interact with.
BEST FOR: The spherical bulb is ideal for aqueous samples and
is considered general purpose.
Conical: As the name implies this tip has a cone shape, making
testing of semi-solids easy.
BEST FOR: A conical tip bulb is ideal for direct penetration into
semi-solids, emulsions, and slurries such as jams, cheeses,
yogurt, and meats.
Flat Tip: The flat tip allows for the direct surface measurement
of a sample.
BEST FOR: The flat tip is ideal for measuring skin, leather, and
paper.
5. Body Material
pH electrodes are comprised of two half-cell electrodes; they are the
reference half-cell and the pH indicating half-cell. When the two half-cells
are located within a single electrode body, it becomes known as a
combination electrode. Whichever style you use, the composition of the
body material is an important consideration.
Glass: It is resistant to many chemicals and transfers heat easily so that
thermal equilibrium is quickly reached between the solution in the elec-
trode and the sample.
BEST FOR: Laboratory testing, general use, and where fast response is
required.
PEI: Polyetherimide is a high-performance plastic that offers excellent
resistance against aggressive chemicals. PEI offers durability and is one of
the main probe types supplied with portable meters.
BEST FOR: Environmental, educational, industrial, or anywhere that dura-
bility is required.
PVDF: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a food grade plastic that stands up
to most cleaning chemicals and solvents. It has high abrasion resistance,
mechanical strength, and resistance to fungal growth. PVDF offers
excellent durability.
BEST FOR: Semi-solids, emulsions and direct measurement of food
samples.
Stainless Steel: Made with AISI 316 stainless steel, this robust material can
withstand chloride concentrations that cause corrosion.
BEST FOR: Industrial, environmental, or rugged applications.
Getting To Know Your pH Electrode
6. Refillable vs Non-Refillable
All pH electrodes have a solution inside the reference cell. This solution
provides the stable reference potential and the ions necessary to complete
the electrical pathway through the junction and into the sample. The inner
solution of pH electrodes can be refillable or non-refillable.
Refillable: A refillable pH electrode is one in which the reference fill
solution can be replenished or replaced as needed. Depending on the type
of outer junction, the rate at which the fill solution diffuses from the elec-
trode ranges from 15 to 50 μL/hour. It is important to understand if you
have a single or double junction electrode so the correct fill solution can be
used to maintain the proper level.
BEST FOR: Lab use, education, or anywhere fast response and long life is
required.
Gel Filled: A gel filled electrode is also known as a maintenance free pH
electrode. Inside these electrodes is a viscous solution. The gel does not
require any refilling, but over the lifetime of an electrode it does become
exhausted. At this point, the electrode will have to be replaced.
BEST FOR: Field, education, or where a rugged design is required.
7. Type of Electrode Connector
BNC: A BNC is a universal connector type. Any pH meter that has a BNC
connector can use any pH electrode regardless of manufacturer.
BEST FOR: pH meters with BNC connectors.
DIN: A DIN or multi-pin connector is proprietary (manufacturer specific)
and can only be used with a compatible meter. The advantage of the
DIN connector is that additional wires are used for a built-in temperature
sensor, amplifier, and/or a matching pin.
BEST FOR: pH meters that are designed for specific electrode.
Quick Connect DIN: Is a DIN Connector that allows for a quick,
waterproof, and secure connection without having to tighten a
threaded connection. This type of connector is proprietary to the meter.
BEST FOR: pH meters that are designed for specific electrode.
3.5 mm Digital: This style is a four pole connection used with digital
pH electrodes. They transfer measurement data digitally from the pH
electrode to the meter. This style is meter specific.
BEST FOR: pH meters that are designed for specific electrode.
Hanna has put together this guide to serve as a quick
reference tool for best practices. Always remember to
