Temperature compensation Name of a function that considers the temperature influence on the
measurement and converts it accordingly. Depending on the mea-
sured parameter to be determined, the temperature compensation
functions in different ways. For conductimetric measurements, the
measured value is converted to a defined reference temperature. For
potentiometric measurements, the slope value is adjusted to the
temperature of the test sample but the measured value is not con-
verted.
Temperature function Name of a mathematical function expressing the temperature behav-
ior of a test sample, a sensor or part of a sensor.
Test sample Designation of the test sample ready to be measured. Normally, a
test sample is made by processing the original sample. The test
sample and original sample are identical if the test sample was not
processed.
Zero point Designation for the offset potential of a pH electrode. It is the mea-
surable potential of a symmetrical electrode, the membrane of which
is immersed in a solution with the pH of the nominal electrode zero
point (pH = 7).
