IC Controls Quality Water Solutions for pH www.iccontrols.com pH / ORP Conductivity Dissolved Oxygen Chlorine Standards R1.0 © 2004 IC CONTROLS PROBLEM One of the major concerns in pulp applications is clogging of the electrode tip. Pulp fibres get caught in the area around the glass, clogging the electrode. Once clogged with pulp fibres the reference and glass to no longer have contact with the process and thus, inaccurate pH measurements result.
