However, providing positive flow ofelectrolyte through the reference junction places limitations onthe sample pressure that can be tolerated. Follow manufactur-ers reco

17、mmendations.6.3 pH reference electrodes must not be allowed to dry.Electrolyte salts can crystallize in the liquid junction andproduce a high liquid junction impedance. Subsequent pHmeasurements could be noisy, drifting or off-scale. When pHsensors are not in use, they should be typically stored wet

18、 permanufacturers instructions.6.4 There are several temperature effects on pH measure-ment. The pH electrode signal is described by the Nernstequation with its output proportional to the absolute tempera-ture times the pH deviation from the isopotential pointusually 7 pH for glass electrodes. Compe

19、nsation for this effectmay be accomplished automatically with a temperature sensorintegral to the combination pH probe and an algorithm in theinstrument. Alternatively, some instruments may be set manu-ally for a fixed temperature when a temperature signal is notavailable. Errors caused by deviation

20、s from the manual settingmay be calculated from the following (for a conventional glasselectrode system with 7 pH isopotential point).Glass Electrode pH error 5pH 7! 3 T Tf!Tf 1 273(1)where:pH = uncorrected process pHT = process temperature (C)Tf = temperature setting of fixed compensation (C)Other

21、types of electrodes, (antimony, ISFET) have differentisopotential points and therefore different corrections. Consultthe manufacturer.6.5 Solution temperature effects may be caused by changesin the sample, such as ionization of constituents, off-gassing,and precipitation, which occur with changes in

22、 temperature.These are generally small for many samples over moderatetemperature ranges. In waste streams with variation in compo-sition, such effects are usually not predictable. However, forsamples with uniform or predictable composition with tem-perature changes 5C, one may determine the effect f

23、or thesamples being measured and make the correction on allmeasurements. The pH to be reported is referenced to 25Cunless another temperature is specified. Some process instru-ments have built-in solution temperature compensation whichallows entry of a user-defined linear temperature coefficientinto

24、 instrument memory for on-line correction of this effect.The temperature of the solution measured for pH should bemonitored and recorded since this information may be criticalto understanding the base state of the solution.NOTE 1For regulatory monitoring, correction for solution tempera-ture effects

25、 should not be done without consulting the governing authority.6.6 A small temperature influence can occur due to differ-ences in the composition of measuring and reference half-cells.This is not compensated by any instrumentation. For thisreason it is advisable to calibrate as near the measuringtem

26、perature as possible.6.7 Coating of the measuring electrode may produce a slowor erroneous response since the sensing surface is in contactwith the coating layer rather than the bulk sample. Flat surfaceelectrodes and high sample flow velocity have been found toprovide some self-cleaning effects. Cl

27、eaning may be accom-plished manually using solvents, acids, detergents, etc. Clean-ing may be automated by a number of approaches. SeeAppendix X1.6.8 Abrasion of measuring electrode surfaces from particlesin the sample can shorten sensor life. Where abrasive particlesare present, the flow velocity p

28、ast the electrode surface shouldbe controlled low enough to minimize abrasion and providesatisfactory electrode life yet high enough to prevent particlesfrom accumulating into a coating as in 6.7.6.9 High pH conditions can produce an alkaline error as theglass pH sensor responds to sodium or other s

29、mall cations inaddition to hydrogen. This type of error is greater at highertemperatures. The result is always a negative error in the rangeof 0 to -1 pH depending on the pH, temperature, sodiumconcentration and sensor glass formulation. Some manufactur-ers have characterized the alkaline or sodium

30、error sufficientlyto closely estimate those errors. Some process ISFET elec-trodes do not experience these errors.6.10 While fluorides in the sample do not interfere with themeasurement, if present at pH below 5, they attack silica,greatly shortening the life of glass and ISFET electrodes.6.11 Antim

31、ony electrode measurements are subject to majorinterferences from oxidizing or reducing species, non-linearity,irregular temperature characteristics and the physical conditionof the electrode surface. However, the antimony electrode canwithstand hydrofluoric acid which other electrodes cannot andthi

32、s application is its primary use. The typical useful range ofthe antimony electrode is 3-9 pH. Performance is veryapplication-dependent and should be carefully evaluated.6.12 Electrical noise induced on the pH sensor-to-instrument cable can cause erratic and offset readings. RoutepH signal cables se

33、parately from AC power and switchingcircuit wiring.6.13 Electrical insulation leakage in electrode connectorsand cable or cracking of a glass electrode membrane can causethe high impedance pH signal to be attenuated or completelylost. This results in a dead response where the measurementsystem will

34、not give response away from the calibration point.Keep pH signal cables and connectors clean and dry. Pream-plifiers are normally located close to pH sensors to minimizethe distance high impedance signals must be transportedahelp in minimizing noise interference in 6.12 as well.6.14 Ground loop inte

35、rference can occur if the pH measur-ing circuit is not galvanically isolated from earth ground,except for the electrodes themselves. Such interference cangive an offset or off-scale reading when measuring in agrounded process installation but will give satisfactory re-sponse in grab samples or calib

36、ration solutions that are notgrounded. Sources of ground loops include improper wiring ofsensor cables, lack of isolation of analog or digital outputsignals from the measuring circuit, or a leaking sensor bodywhich allows electrical contact of the sample to a part of themeasuring circuit beyond the

37、external electrode surfaces.D6569052Remove output wiring, check sensor wiring and observereadings to locate the cause of grounding problems.6.15 Measurements on samples with conductivity less than100 S/cm are vulnerable to streaming potentials, large junc-tion potentials and other difficulties and a

Apparatus7.1 Process instrument7.1.1 The measuring system shall use a high impedancepreamplifier, preferably located near the electrode but may becontained within the instrument, capable of measuring the highimpedance pH sensor voltage. When lo

39、cated near the electrode,the preamplifier shall be sealed against moisture intrusion. Aglass pH electrode measuring circuit must have at least 105Megohm input impedance to preserve the signal. Some mea-suring circuits use a differential input and solution groundwhich can tolerate a higher reference

40、junction impedance andreduce liquid junction potential errors.7.1.2 The instrument shall provide indication, alarms, re-lays, isolated analog outputs and digital outputs as needed forthe application. Where output signal isolation from the mea-surement circuit is not provided within the instrument, t

41、hesignal must pass through an external signal isolator beforeconnection to a grounded computer, data acquisition or controlsystem. This will prevent ground loop errors in the measure-ment as described in 6.14.7.1.3 Some instruments provide as a part of their measuringcircuit, sensor diagnostics whic

Thedifferent types of measuring electrodes and reference elec-trodes below are options: only one measuring electrode andone reference electrode are used for measurement.7.2.1 Glass measuringThe pH glass measuring electrodeis by far the most common type of pH sensor. It sh

It shall be conditioned in the process sample for atleast 30 minutes or as recommended by the manufacturerbefore accurate readings can be taken.7.2.2 ISFET measurin

45、gThe ISFET measuring electrodealong with its unique measuring circuit shall give responseequivalent to a glass electrode measuring system. (ISFETelectrodes typically require an adapter circuit to be compatiblewith glass electrode measuring instruments.)7.2.3 Antimony measuringThe antimony measuring

46、elec-trode shall be pure polished antimony metal that has beenconditioned by soaking in water to produce an oxide layer,according to manufacturers instructions.7.2.4 Non-flowing Liquid Junction Reference7.2.4.1 The non-flowing reference electrode shall contain anelectrode half-cell similar to the gl

It shallcontain sufficient electrolyte with gelling agent or other meansto restrict its loss and give acceptable life in the application.Despite the name “non-flowing,” the electrolyte is consumableas a trace amoun

The only opening of the electrode is its interface withthe process through its liquid junctiona small passage ofporous ceramic, polymer, wood, fiber, ground glass surfaces orother material that allows electrical continuity with the samplewhile li

Some non-flowing referenceelectrodes are refillable.7.2.4.2 For fouling processes containing sulfides, or otherspecies that could react with the electrolyte, a second or doubleliquid junction shall be provided as a barrier to contaminationor dilution of the inner electrolyte. A long path between theliquid junction and the inner half-cell is also helpful. Someelectrode systems use another pH glass membrane within thereference electrode in place of a second junction. In that case,the intermediate electrolyte is a concentrated pH buff
