Frequently Asked Questions
On-line pH measurement provides continuous, real-time monitoring directly within the process stream, capturing dynamic changes. Laboratory testing is intermittent and may miss transient variations, making on-line systems more effective for process control and immediate corrective actions.
pH readings are temperature-dependent due to changes in electrode response and chemical equilibrium. Temperature compensation ensures accurate readings by correcting for these variations, improving reliability in fluctuating process environments.
Fouling from deposits or coatings on the electrode surface interferes with ion exchange, leading to slow response and inaccurate readings. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to maintain measurement reliability.
Electrode lifespan is affected by exposure to harsh chemicals, temperature extremes, fouling, and mechanical damage. Proper handling, maintenance, and calibration extend operational life.
Calibration aligns the sensor response with known standards, correcting drift and ensuring accurate readings. Without regular calibration, measurement errors increase significantly over time.
