TempHion Measurement Theory The TempHion works on the principle of direct potentiometry—the same principle that governs any other pH or ISE electrode. Two electrodes Sensing electrode (button) Reference electrode (in reservoir)
27
TempHion Measurement Theory Reference electrode immersed in filling solution of known chloride content. Chloride content stays constant as long as solution is not contaminated or diluted. Filling solution must be in contact with solution being tested to complete the electrical circuit. Liquid junction port
28
Measurement Theory “Cell potential” is measured across the two electrodes. Potential of sensing electrode varies logarithmically with the concentration of the ion it senses. Aqua4Plus uses this reading and applies calibration and temperature compensation to arrive at highly accurate readings. Sensing electrode Reference electrode
