HI1144B

Description

The HI1144B is a glass body, refillable, single junction pH electrode with a BNC connector. This electrode has a single ceramic junction in the outer reference cell and the spherical pH sensing portion is made with high temperature glass. The mercury/mercury (I) chloride (Hg/Hg2Cl2) reference system of the HI1144B provides a stable reference potential without the presence of silver. This design consideration is ideal for applications involving Tris buffer.

•  Calomel References
•  High Temperature (HT) Glass
•  Refillable Electrode

  The HI1144B uses high temperature (HT) glass, spherical bulb, glass body, single ceramic frit, single junction and is refillable with 3.5M KCl.
High Temperature Glass Formulation
•  The measurement of pH at very high temperatures is detrimental to the sensitive glass bulb and will shorten the life of it.
•  A pH electrode with general purpose (GP) glass will have a resistance of 100 megaohms at 25^oC while the resistance of HT glass is around 400 megaohms at 25^oC.
•  As the HI1144B is used at elevated temperatures the resistance decreases to approach the that of GP glass.
•  The HI1144B is suitable to use with samples that measure from 0 to 100°C.

  Spherical Bulb
•  The spherical bulb is for general purpose use.
•  Other tip shapes include conic for penetration and flat tip for surface measurements.

  Glass Body
•  The glass body is ideal for laboratory use.
•  The glass is resistant to many harsh chemicals and is easily cleaned.
•  The glass body also allows for a fast transfer of heat to the internal reference electrolyte.
•  The mV generated by the reference cell is temperature dependent.
•  The faster the electrode reaches equilibrium, the steadier the reference potential.

  Single Ceramic Double Junction Reference
•  The HI1144B is a single junction design.
•  The junction also known as a salt bridge is necessary component of the electrical circuit.
•  The movement of ions must flow through the junction for a steady reading.
•  The outer reference has a single ceramic frit. The ceramic is a porous material that is easily fused with the glass body and has a similar expansion coefficient.
•  A single ceramic junction has a flow rate of 15-20 μL/hour.
•  Other junction types are available with higher flow rates and made with different materials.

  Refillable
•  The HI1144B is a refillable probe, HI7082 3.5M KCl, does not contain any silver.
•  The absence of silver will prevent any silver precipitate from forming at the junction surface and clogging it.
•  Clogging of the junction will result in drifty and erratic readings.

  BNC Connector
•  The HI1144B uses a BNC connector.
•  This type of connector is universal in that it can be used on any pH meter that has the female BNC probe input.
•  Other type of connectors include DIN, screw type, T-type, and 3.5mm to name a few.
•  These types of connectors tend to be proprietary for a particular type of meter and are not interchangeable.
