Type 18 pH Sensor Product Highlight

Type 18 provides a low maintenance measurement by removing internal electrolyte solutions and reference junctions/diaphragms.

Differential pH Sensor for Aggressive Media

The Type 18 differential sensor measures pH or high-resolution pH compensated ORP. It features a rugged enamel Glasteel™ construction with an integral temperature sensor which allows the sensor to be mounted directly into the process, in any orientation, thus sensing the pH directly and without a protective cage.

Type 18 provides a low maintenance measurement by removing internal electrolyte solutions and reference junctions/diaphragms. Therefore, the design eliminates typical glass sensor issues such as aging and reference system fouling.   Maintenance efforts are further minimized with the ability to perform a single point, in the process, calibration.  The sensor does not need to be removed.  Additionally, the sensor can be left dry in an empty pipe or vessel without causing permanent damage to the sensing elements.

The Type 18  is suitable for use with the Protos, Stratos Pro, and Stratos EVO transmitters.

4 – Sensor MaterialGlasteel ™

  • Resistant to most corrosive substances, even under extreme thermal conditions.
  • Essentially inert, so it cannot adversely affect product purity or flavor.
  • Resists the buildup of viscous or sticky products, leading to better heat transfer, less frequent cleaning and higher performance.
  • Strong: fusing glass to steel produces a high strength, corrosive resistant composite.
