Cause
Remedy
Electrode:
– Junction contaminated
– Clean the junction
– Membrane contaminated
– Clean the membrane
– Moisture in the plug
– Dry plug
– Too little electrolyte
– Refill the electrolyte
– Electrode obsolete
– Replace the electrode
– Electrode broken
– Replace the electrode
– Socket damp
– Dry the socket
Calibration procedure:
– Solution temperature incorrect
(without temperature sensor)
– Set the correct temperature
– Incorrect buffer solutions
– Select the suitable buffer solutions
for the calibration procedure
– Buffer solutions too old
– Use only once.
Note the shelf life
Cause
Remedy
pH electrode:
– Junction contaminated
– Clean the junction
– Membrane contaminated
– Clean the membrane
Test sample:
– pH value not stable
– Measure with air excluded if
necessary
– Temperature not stable
– Temper if necessary
Ele test sample:
– Conductivity too low
(e.g. in ultrapure water)
– Use suitable electrode
– Temperature too high
– Use suitable electrode
– Organic liquids
– Use suitable electrode
