1.1 Overview

These cells form the sensing network for industrial analyzers and transmitters designed to make continuous
measurements of electrolytic conductivity. The cells are primarily suited to measurements in effluents of
ion-exchangers and distillation columns; but appropriate constants are provided for many other
applications, including measurements in micro-electronic component washing and plating-rinse effluents.
Universal in mounting, any of the cells can be arranged for immersion (for applications where the
temperature does not exceed 85°C), insertion (1” NPT) or flow type sampling. The latter can be achieved
by use of a CPVC flow housing, a 1” pipe tee (schedule 40), or 1-1/4” plastic tee (schedule 80) installed in
a process line or bypass line as pictured in

ATTENTION

Please note that specific parameters of your process may prohibit the use of nickel elements. For example,
use a platinum-element cell if the cell will measure or be exposed to regeneration acids or bases.

12/07 4905 Series Conductivity Cells – Installation and Maintenance 1

Introduction

The cell constant is selected according to the range of the measuring instrument used and the solution
measured. In general, a high-constant cell is used for solutions having low electrical resistance (high
conductivity) and a low-constant cell is used for solutions having high electrical resistance (low
conductivity). Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) during the measurement is provided by a
built-in temperature sensing network located near the cross-channel or guard-tube holes.

The cells are molded from Polyethersulfone (PES) which is resistant to most corrosive chemicals over a
wide range of temperatures. (A common exception is chlorinated hydrocarbons.) Sample solutions come
into contact only with the above plastic and the platinum or nickel electrode surface. Any cell can be
supplied with either electrode material.

3.1 Overview

The conductivity cell is secured permanently to the 1” N.P.T. bushing which is used for all types of
mountings. Although the physical appearance of the various cells is the same (except for length), the cell
construction differs according to the constant. On the 10 and 50 constant cells, the electrodes are short
tubes located midway inside the two parallel tubular channels that run lengthwise through the cell, and are
open to the sample at both ends of the cell. The channels are elliptical on the 10 constant cell. The 1, 0.1,
and 0.01 constant cells have a removable cell guard which is screwed onto the cell body to protect the
electrode surfaces. Electrodes are three disks on the 1 constant cell, parallel plates on the 0.1 constant cell,
and wire wound on the cell body on the 0.01 constant cell. Cells must be used with the guard in place or
the cell constant may differ from that specified.

Most of the auxiliary parts which enable the user to achieve the various types of mounting are readily
obtained from local suppliers. For an immersion mounting (only applicable in applications where the
temperature does not exceed 85°C)with 04905 Series cells, only the appropriate length of 1/2 inch pipe
(e.g., CPVC) and if desired, a 1/2 inch end coupling is needed. For an in-line flow mounting, only a 1”
schedule 40 tee is required. The basic cell can be converted to a flow cell for either bypass or in-line
arrangements by use of the PES flow-cell housing (Honeywell Part 276127) shown in
However, the temperature and pressure specifications listed for this flow chamber under Specifications
apply.

3.2 Types of Mounting

There are three types of mounting: Flow, Immersion (for use in applications where temperatures do not
exceed 85°C) and Insertion. Mounting dimensions for each type of cell assembly are given in
Figure 3-3, and Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-2,

3.3 The Differences between the Quick Disconnect and Integral Cable Option

The cable options of quick disconnect and integral cable do not affect the performance of the cell. These
options only relate to how the cell is connected to the instrument.

ATTENTION

•There are different electrical connections for these options. Please refer to Section 4 for instructions.
NOTE: The wire colors for the integral cable and quick disconnect option are not the same. Do not use shielded

cable except where shown in the following figures.

• Integral cable means the cable is potted into the cell. The cable and cell are one entity and cannot be

separated.

• The quick disconnect option means the cell is connected to the cell by a receptacle on the top of the

cell. The cell and the cable are separate entities. When the time comes to replace the cell, the cable
does not have to be replaced. The cable can simply be mated with another cell that has the quick

disconnect option. This option cannot be used in immersion applications. The cable must be
purchased from Honeywell.

Installation

3.4 Flow-Type Mounting

The cross-channel or guard-tube hole in the cell must always be covered by the solution and the solution
level must be 1-1/2 inches above these holes. When mounting the cell in a pipe tee such as shown in
Figure 3-1, have the solution enter the tee from below and exit to the side. As shown, the guard-tube hole
is in line with the horizontal pipe run. However, if it is possible that the pipe line will not be full at all
times, locate the hole just below the exit pipe to insure flooding of the cell under all conditions. As shown

Figure 3-1, always locate the cell on the pressure side, not the vacuum side of the pump. The flow-cell-

in
housing, an accessory part having 3/4” male inlet and female outlet threads, can be used for an in-line
measurement or in a bypass line as shown in
Adapter bushings are available to convert inlet and outlet fittings to 1/4” female threads. See Section
The cell must be covered by the solution at all times. Therefore, make certain the lowest solution head is
higher than the cell location. See that an air bubble does not prevent the cell from filling properly.

Flow-cell housing can be used “in-line” only if a maximum flow of 2 gallons per minute can be tolerated.
To avoid cracking the 276127 flow-cell housing, use Teflon tape on cell threads and tighten cell only
enough to prevent leakage.

To install, tighten the cell into a 1” schedule 40 pipe tee. If the flow-cell housing is used, assemble the cell
and housing and install it in the process flow line or in a bypass line.

3.5 Immersion-Type Mounting for 04905 Series Cells

For use in applications where temperature does not exceed 85°C. The cell must be immersed to a level

above the cross-channel or guard tube hole and must be immersed to 1-1/2 inches above this hole if an
integral compensator is used. For most immersion applications, a 1/2” support pipe, preferably CPCV
must be threaded into the cell bushing, using Teflon tape to seal the threads, thus permitting adequate
immersion. Unless this pipe extension is used, do not immerse the top of the bushing. To insured that a
representative sample is measured at all times, the solution must circulate through the channels. In
quiescent solutions, provide sufficient agitation.

To install the cell, determine the length of 1/2” pipe required to give the immersion needed to keep the cell
completely immersed at all times. Up to six feet of pipe can be used for the standard cell having seven feet
of cable. Remove the small bushing at the top of the cell, slide it off the cable, and replace it with the 1/2­inch pipe. At the top of the pipe slide a pipe coupling and the small bushing back over the leadwire as
shown in Fig. 3-1, or install a junction box to terminate the pipe.

3.6 Insertion-Type Mounting

The cell can be inserted into a 1” N.P.T. threaded opening, but it is imperative that the tank or chamber be
full under all process conditions. Make certain the liquid head is above the cell location. A vertical
insertion (from above) or a horizontal insertion can be used. To install, simply tighten the cell into a 1”
N.P.T. threaded opening (using a Teflon thread compound such as Teflon tape) so that the entire electrode
is immersed in the measured solution. Allow at least 1/2-inch clearance beyond the end of the cell. In
applications where vertical mounting is required, avoid a position with the cell channels pointed up, as this
will permit solution to flow down into the open end of the cell and may result in clogging by solids settling

Maintenance

5. Maintenance

5.1 Introduction

If abnormal readings occur, this may indicate poor response because the cell is not filled with process
solution. Check the cell installation. Note that a grayish dull surface on the cell plastic (normally glassy)
can result from exposure to temperatures above 140°C.

The only maintenance which may be required is occasional cleaning in certain applications.

Cell constants 0.01, 0.1, and 1 cannot be used if solution resistance measures less than 1000 ohms unless
the cell is platinized in accordance with Section 5.

5.2 To Clean the Cell

The cell will require cleaning if sludge, slime, etc., accumulates in the flow channels. Since the materials
of construction are chemically inert, chemical agents may be used and are recommended for cleaning the
cells. The particular cleaning agent used must be selected according to the type of contamination to which
the cell is exposed.

CAUTION

The cell housing is PES (Polyethersulfone). DO NOT clean with acetone, chloroform, toluene, benzene, or any
other chlorinated hydrocarbon.

In general, soap and hot water are effective and adequate. If necessary, a soft bristle brush of about 1/4”
diameter may be used to clean out the tubular channels of the 10 and 50 constant cells. Do not scratch the
electrode surfaces. Be especially careful not to bend the electrode plates of the 0.1 constant cell. Rinse the
cell thoroughly in tap water and then in distilled water if available.

5.3 To Check Conductivity System

To check the conductivity system comprising conductivity cell, leadwire, and measuring instrument, the
user may desire to make a measurement in a reference solution of known conductivity. Control the
temperature only within limits consistent with the desired accuracy. The 25°C temperature value is
suggested. The solutions may be prepared in the presence of air. The solution must fill the cell during
measurement.

For optimum accuracy in acid measurements above 5% concentration, use the “Calibration Trim” function
available in the conductivity instrument. See the appropriate Analyzer/Transmitter manuals for details on
the trim function.

To check the constant of a cell, use a second cell having the same constant and compare the reading of one
against the other.

If the 04905 Series conductivity cell model number contains ‘333’, the normal resistance of the
temperature sensor as measured across the red (B) and green (D) leads is 8550 ohms at 25°C.

To check the electrode insulation, connect an ohmmeter across the black (A) and white (C) leads. With a
dry and clean cell, the resistance should be greater than 50 megohms.

Maintenance

5.4 Platinizing the Cell Electrodes

Only the electrodes having constants 10 and 50 must be replatinized if the velvety-black deposit has been
rubbed off the electrodes in service or in cleaning or if platinized electrodes are recommended and this
black deposit is not present when the new cell is received. Always replatinize if a brush was used in
cleaning the electrodes. The indication of a need for replatinization of the electrodes is loss in sensitivity
(slow response of measuring instrument), erratic behavior of measuring instrument, or difficulty in
balancing. The electrodes of the high constant cells are not visible since they are located near the middle
of the flow channels. Therefore the need for platinization is only indicated by the effect on the measuring
instrument. Do not platinize cells intended for high purity water measurements.

Before platinizing, clean the cell with detergent and brush as described in Section

Support the cell in a cylindrical vessel with the end of the cell raised from the bottom. It is not necessary to
remove the cell from the fittings for platinizing. However, the guard tube must be removed from the low
constant cells. Pour in a platinizing solution to a level above the cross-channel.

To platinize the 10 or 50 constant cells, immerse an auxiliary platinum electrode in the solution to a point
about midway between the cross-channel or tube hole and the open end of the cell. (This third electrode
should be chemically pure platinum. Its shape is unimportant. It may be one of the electrodes in another
conductivity cell or a platinum strip, sheet, rod, wire, etc.) Both electrodes of the cell are platinized
simultaneously by connecting the negative terminal of the battery (see
cell. Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the auxiliary platinum electrode. Note the time lapse
and continue the platinizing operation for the time in seconds listed in
battery and remove the cell. Rinse the cell thoroughly in tap water and then rinse in distilled water.
During the platinizing operation, move the cell up and down gently to keep the solution stirred.

Table 5-1) to both leadwires of the

Table 5-1. Then disconnect the

5.2.

CAUTION

The preceding procedure produces a barely visible coating of platinum black on the electrode surfaces. Do not
attempt to darken electrodes by additional platinization since this will affect the cell performance adversely.

Pour the platinizing solution back into its container as it may be used a number of times.

If the cell is not to be installed immediately after platinizing, it should be kept submerged in distilled water
until put into use, as platinum black is not stable when dry.
