pH Meter – pH in Water Meter
pHSense
The pHSense range of online pH meters from Pi utilize the very latest and best pH sensors available in the world today for measuring the online pH of any aqueous solution.
They are patented gel filled sensors with integral reference which uses no reagents, are extremely stable, and have reduced maintenance and reduced whole life costs. The junction, usually the source of error with current pH sensor technology is made from an electrochemically active solid resulting in a more robust pH sensor.
Online pH meters and pH controllers are one of the most common analyzers in use today in water treatment and process plants and yet online pH meters cause continual problems for their operators. What is needed is a stable, reliable, online pH meter for a reasonable cost. That is exactly what you get with the pHSense.
The pHSense sensors and flow cells are available with different controllers giving you the same great performance with different communication, display, and control options. With the pHSense range of online pH meters, you get everything that you need – and nothing that you don’t.
- Stable and reliable online pH meter
- On board diagnostics
- Auto calibrant recognition
- Low purchase cost
- Long life pH sensors
- Remote access and SMS text alarms
- Remote Sites
- Cooling Towers
- Food Preparation
- Paper Mills
Anywhere you have a requirement to measure pH is a suitable application for the pHSense. The pHSense online pH meter range is particularly suited to working in sites where reliability and ease of use are most important.
AutoFlush – As described elsewhere, the pHSense can come equipped to automatically clean itself at user defined intervals with all the benefits of no operator intervention. The AutoFlush is particularly useful in food preparation, pulp and paper, and many applications where there is likely to be a build up of solids in the sample.
Multi-Sensor Systems – The whole range of pHSense pH meters can be fitted with additional sensors such as chlorine or ORP. Please ask your local distributor for more details.
The sensor at the heart of the Process Instruments online pH meter is a patented gel filled glass electrode. This pH electrode is far superior to many online process pH electrodes on the market and is designed for a long life, low drift and high reliability.
Unlike many pH analyzers, you don’t need to search through hundreds of pH electrodes to find one that works in your process as the pHSense electrode works in all environments from pH 2 to 12 and in conductivity from 0µS upward. Although they command a higher price in the market place these sensors are more than cost effective with their longer life and considerably lower maintenance requirements, typically only needing calibration once per two or three months. Despite the superior functionality that the pHSense has to offer, the purchase costs are less than or comparable to, its competitors!
The pHSense online pH meter takes away the requirement for continual calibration and re-calibration of the pH meter by operators as it utilises an extremely stable pH electrode. The pHSense will calculate a ‘degree of confidence’ in its own calibration and let you know if its confidence is low. If the pH meter detects a fault in the pH sensor then it gives instructions on the display as to what the fault may be, with full on board fault diagnostics.
