Electrode Interferences
Sodium ions are the principal interference of the pH electrode and
cause increasing error at higher pH (lower hydrogen ion activities) and
at higher temperatures. Because the pH membrane is composed of
special low sodium error glass, error due to sodium is negligible when
measuring at pH values less than 12. When measuring at pH values
greater than 12, add the correction value from the nomograph below to
the observed pH reading.
Typical Sodium Error
Example:
pH reading:
12.10
Sodium concentration: 0.5 M
Temperature:
50°C
Correction: 0.01
Corrected pH reading: 12.11
