AquaMetrix pH and ORP differential
probes stay in service and provide accurate measurements under conditions that
often render conventional pH probes inoperable. Now for added versatility, these
probes, eld-proven in hundreds of installations, are available with an integral encapsulated 4-20 mA two-wire transmitter
to feed directly to a PLC or a DCS.
The P65 pH and R65 ORP probes employ a differential measurement technique. Unlike conventional combination
probes, the differential probe has two
high impedance measurement circuits
containing a common metallic return
electrode. One circuit includes the process measurement electrode which generates a potential E1 proportional to the
process pH. The second circuit includes
an internal measurement electrode immersed in a stable buffer solution which
generates a standard reference potential,
E2. Both circuitshave a common potential
E3 developed at the return electrode. The
two circuits are fed into ampliers which
provide an output representing the differential between them:
(E1 - E 3) - (E2 - E3). The common potential E3 is cancelled out electronically,
greatly reducing inaccuracies caused by
ground loops which may exist between
process and instrument grounds. Ground
loop current willow through the low impedance path of the return electrode, affecting the potential E3, but not the differential measurement.

Probes with 4 to 20 mA Output
The differential probe maintains its accuracy and stability in aggressive process
applications long after a combinationstyle probe’s performance begins to deteriorate.
Maintenance costs are reduced and the
life of the probe is increased. The internal
reference electrode is electrically connected to the process solution by means
of a eld-replaceable double junction salt
bridge which greatly reduces the possibility of contamination of the buffer solution
in the reference circuit. Although seldom
required, the reference solution may be
easily replaced by removing the screwout salt bridge. A salt bridge and buffer kit
is available for this purpose.
Another advantage of the 65 series is the
semi-ush face which is easily cleaned
and avoids solution materials gathering on protrusions found in competitive
probes. The domed glass electrode, the
protective metal electrode and the temperature sensor protrude only about 1/8
inch while the salt bridge is ush. A atface version of the pH probe is also available.
The 65 series can be provided in any of
the physical congurations in the P60/
R60 series differential probes: 65C-8
with 1-1/2” threaded body style, 65C-6
“Easy-In, Easy-Out” variable insertion
depth version with 1- 1/4” NPT compression tting, or the 65C-7 hot tap version.
