SteamLine electrodes are low-maintenance pH process electrodes for a wide temperature range from 0 to 135 °C and a pH application range from 0 to 14 pH.
The reference electrode uses a gel electrolyte. A special feature of these electrodes is the even, minimal flow of electrolyte: constant pressure is exerted on the electrolyte by a pressure mechanism that is integrated into the reference electrode. This ensures reliable and reproducible measurement results, and poisoning of the reference system can be avoided. That is why the useful life of SteamLine electrodes is substantially longer in comparison with non-pressurized, low maintenance electrodes.
We manufacture SteamLine electrodes out of the highly alkali-resistant S Glass developed for the most extreme conditions. As a result, the electrodes can not only be utilized for SIP applications (Sterilization In Place, temperature of up to 135 °C), but also for CIP cleaning applications (Clean In Place), in which hot, concentrated sodium hydroxide solution is utilized. Electrodes that were designed for this type of extreme cleaning processes can also demonstrate their strengths under other extreme application conditions.
SteamLine electrodes are available in different versions and lengths.
The sensors for pH, Redox and Conductivity have to be installed on the system using proper electrode holder that guarantee the correct mechanical protection and the water proof degree.
The electrodes of pH and Redox can be immersed in tanks, inserted in pipes or put in proper containers for the passage of sample liquid drawn from the system.
It is very important to lay stress on the immersion models with adjustable flange that has to be linked together with the counter flange that allows their fast extraction. The version with floating platform suits to follow the free water surface in deep tanks.
The versions for two electrodes in polypropylene allow to put in the same armature two sensors example pH and Redox).
