Description
The Type 18 differential sensor measures pH or high-resolution pH compensated ORP. The sensor has rugged enamel Glasteel™ construction with an integral temperature sensor. Users can mount the sensor 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.
Single point calibration in the process further minimizes maintenance. Operators do not need to remove the sensor for calibration. Additionally, users can leave the sensor 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 and Stratos Multi, Pro, and Evo transmitters.
Robust Glasteel Sensor
- 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 high strength, corrosive resistant composite
A Type 18 pH sensor is the ideal sensor for processes where:
- Glass sensors are being replaced frequently
- Batch processes dry out sensors during empty stages
- Media contains heavy and abrasive suspended solids
