... impossible to perform calibration.
... very slow response.
Dirt on the diaphragm or the mem-
brane.
De-hydrated membrane.
Electrode ageing or wear.
Clean, regenerate, replace the elec-
trode.
Storage
The connector should be protected from
humidity by the protective cap
Place the electrode in the storage protector
with KCl 3M sat. AgCl.
Life of an electrode
The average life expectancy of a pH pro-
cess electrode oscillates between 6 or 12
months, depending on the working condi-
tions.
Electrodes exposed to high temperatures do
not last as long. Very alkaline mediums also
reduces the life span of electrodes.
If an electrode has too short life span,
less than three months, ask us about it.
Probably there is a more suitable elec-
trode for the application.
