FC1013 Foodcare pH and temperature electrode for milk

An integral part of any pH electrode is the reference junction. The reference junction is a part of the electrode that allows for the flow of ions located in the reference cell into the sample being tested. It is vital that this flow occurs in order to complete an electrical circuit, which ultimately determines the pH value. Any clogging of the junction will prevent completion of the circuit, resulting in readings that are erratic or constantly drifting.

The FC1013 probe utilises a secondary reference chamber with ceramic outer junction allowing aqueous silver free electrolyte to flow slowly through providing accurate readings for aqueous samples.

The durable PVDF body of the FC1013 ensures pH measurements can be safely taken on the dairy farm or production floor. The components of the electrode are also able to withstand a wider range of temperatures to allow for accuracy during stages such as pasteurisation, which requires heating to temperatures near 72°C (161°F).
