FC242D pH Electrode for Cheese Analysis

Conical tip shape

• This design allows for penetration into solids, semi-solids, and emulsions for the direct measurement of pH in cheese products.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body
• Built-in temperature sensor
• Conical glass tip

AISI 316 stainless steel body

• The metal body offers durability in the production facility and can withstand chloride concentrations that cause corrosion in other types of way

Viscolene electrolyte

• The viscolene electrolyte offers a hard gel interface between the inner electrode components and the sample being measured. The electrolyte is silver-free for use in cheese products and is maintenance free too.

Single ceramic junction

• A porous ceramic frit allows the silver-free electrolyte to flow slowly into solution, providing accurate readings for aqueous samples.

Built-in temperature sensor

• A thermistor temperature sensor is in the tip of the indicating pH bulb. A temperature sensor should be as close as possible to the indicating pH electrode in order to compensate for variations in temperature.

Low temperature glass

• The FC242D electrode uses low Temperature (LT) glass for the sensing bulb. The LT glass tip is a lower resistance glass formulation. As the temperature of the sensing glass decreases, the resistance of the LT glass will increase approaching that of standard glass at ambient temperatures. The FC242D is suitable to use with samples that measure from 0 to 50°C.
