General information
Asymmetry see zero point
Junction The junction is a porous body in the housing wall of reference elec-
trodes or electrolyte bridges. It arranges the electrical contact between
two solutions and makes the electrolyte exchange more difficult. The
expression, junction, is also used for ground or junction-less transitions.
Electromotive force of
a combination elec-
trode
The electromotive force U of the combination electrode is the measur-
able electromotive force of an electrode in a solution. It equals the sum
of all the galvanic voltages of the combination electrode. Its depen-
dency on the pH results in the electrode function, which is characterized
by the parameters, slope and zero point.
Zero point The zero point of a pH combination electrode is the pH value at which
the electromotive force of the pH combination electrode at a specified
temperature is zero. Normally, this is at 25 °C.
pH value The pH value is a measure of the acidic or basic effect of an aqueous
solution. It corresponds to the negative decadic logarithm of the molal
hydrogen ions activity divided by the unit of the molality. The practical
pH value is the value of a pH measurement.
Potentiometry Name of a measuring technique. The signal (depending on the mea-
sured parameter) of the electrode is the electrical potential. The electri-
cal current remains constant.
ORP voltage The ORP is caused by oxidizing or reducing substances dissolved in
water if these substances become effective on an electrode surface
(e.g. a gold or platinum surface).
Slope The slope of a linear calibration function.
Resolution Smallest difference between two measured values that can be dis-
played by a meter.
AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range.
Adjusting To manipulate a measuring system so that the relevant value (e.g. the
displayed value) differs as little as possible from the correct value or a
value that is regarded as correct, or that the difference remains within
the tolerance.
Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e.g. the displayed
value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Often,
this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjusted at
the same time (see adjusting).
Measured variable The measured parameter is the physical dimension determined by
measuring, e.g. pH, conductivity or D.O. concentration.
