Hanna Instruments offers a wide variety of pH electrodes that are designed for many different applications. The type of glass used for sensing pH, bulb shape, body material, type of junction, type of reference and electrolyte used are just some of the design considerations.
The HI1296D uses general purpose (GP) glass, spherical bulb, titanium body, and cloth junction with gel electrolyte.
General Purpose Glass Formulation
General Purpose (GP) glass, as the name implies, is a standard glass formulation that is used for general use. A pH electrode with GP glass will have a resistance of 100 megaohms at 25°C and is suited for measuring pH of samples that are at ambient temperatures. The HI1296D is suitable to use with samples that measure from 0 to 80°C.
Spherical Bulb
The spherical bulb is for general purpose use. Other tip shapes include conic for penetration and flat tip for surface measurements.
Titanium Body
A titanium body increases immunity to electrostatic and magnetic fields. It also allows for strong corrosion resistance, even in seawater. Our titanium bodied electrodes’ outer casings also serve as a matching pin. A matching pin is a differential measurement technique used to eliminate ground loops and common mode perturbations for the measurement system. In a system without a matching pin, electrical currents in the samples can affect the reference half cell voltage. The matching pin isolates these current/magnetic fields from the reference electrode for safe, precise pH measurements.
Cloth Junction
A cloth or fiber wick junction provides a larger surface area than a standard ceramic junction. This is useful when measuring the pH of liquid samples with higher solids content.
DIN Connector
The HI1296D uses a DIN connector. This type of connector is proprietary to the meter. Compatible meters include the HI991001.
