Overview of our pH sensors

Zirkon® pH Universal

Durable, low-maintenance, accurate: Zirkon® pH Universal electrodes are used in a variety of applications, such as wastewater treatment, for monitoring process water in industrial plants, and for drinking water applications. They enable reliable water quality measurement in many temperature and pressure environments. The pH electrode is easy to use and service in many different measuring environments

Applications
Drinking Water
Process Water
Waste Water Treatment

Zirkon® pH Pool

Sensors specially designed for pool water measurement: The Zirkon® pH Pool sensors provide reliable and accurate results especially in swimming pools at an excellent price to performance ratio. A low resistance pH membrane glass ensures rapid measurement results. The TEPOX electrolyte Gel is further stabilized by a salt supply (potassium chloride), making it more durable than conventional sensors.

Applications
Pool & Spa

Zirkon® pH Process

Highly reliable in process and wastewater treatment: Zirkon® pH Process sensors are used wherever major water contamination can occur. They consist of a high alkaline, high temperature glass electrode. Depending on the application, the diaphragm is available in platinum, PTFE or as a hole diaphragm. The use of either TEPOX electrolyte or solid electrolyte guarantees low maintenance.

Applications
Process Water
Waste Water Treatment

Zirkon® pH Process HT

The professional solution for high-temperature applications: Zirkon® pH Process HT sensors are temperature stable up to 135 °C and can be used for sterilization applications. They are composed of a high temperature glass electrode. The diaphragm is made of heat- and corrosion-resistant PTFE polymer and is designed to be highly dirt-repellent. The use of solid electrolyte guarantees low maintenance and allows the use in high temperature environments.

Applications
Process Water
High Temperature
Sterilization

Zirkon® pH Process Refill

Even more durable thanks to refillable electrolyte: The Zirkon® pH Process Refill sensors, which can be used as all-rounders in a wide variety of measuring environments, provide a hose connection allowing the reference electrode to be refilled. As a result, the refillable silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) is extremely durable and cost effective. They are composed of a high alkaline, high temperature glass electrode shaped as a robust glass ball. Depending on the application, the diaphragm is available in Zirkon or platinum.

Applications
Drinking Water
Process Water
Waste Water Treatment

Zirkon® pH Fluoride

Developed for application in fluoride-containing water: Zirkon® pH Fluoride sensors have a special glass that withstands a fluoride concentration of 500 mg/l at pH 1. The sensors are used primarily in fluoride-containing environments in the semiconductor industry. Zirkon® pH Fluoride sensors are available with a hose connection for refilling the reference electrode. Alternatively, a version without hose connection is available with low-maintenance TEPOX electrolyte. 

Applications
Fluoride Containing Media

Zirkon® pH Pure

For the most accurate measurement results in fully demineralized water: Zirkon® pH Pure sensors are developed for use in low-ion environments. The composition of the highest-quality materials, such as the high alkaline, high-temperature glass, is key. The innovative glass cut diaphragm ensures a high exchange rate of electrolyte and stable measurements. Alternatively, it is also available with three Zirkon diaphragms, which guarantee reliable measurement results with reduced electrolyte exchange. The reference electrode is equipped with a hose connection and can be refilled.

Applications
Ultra Pure Water

Zirkon® pH Coating

For precise pH measurement in the coating industry: Zirkon® pH Coating sensors are used wherever the pH level has to be measured in electrocoating. These purpose-built electrodes are available with an external Zirkon diaphragm (15 mm protrusion), which can be protected by an attachable dialysis membrane. The reference electrode is equipped with a hose connection and can be refilled. Alternatively, the sensor is available with an open diaphragm in combination with solid electrolyte.

Zirkon® pH Wide Body

Highly robust in demanding chemical environments: Zirkon® pH Wide Body sensors are typically used in flotation processes, leaching, neutralization, and wastewater control. The durable Ryton® housing made of PPS protects against aggressive chemicals. A Teflon ring diaphragm is integrated to account for demanding industrial applications, e.g. in the field of process or waste water. Zirkon® pH Wide Body sensors can be installed quickly and easily, e.g. in pipelines, due to a ¾” NPT thread and are qualified for direct immersion measurements due to optionally available pre-molded sensor cables.
