Providing the ultimate in performance and reliability

  • Measurement accuracy you can depend on

    When it comes to getting the most from a pH sensor, it is important to select the right glassware for your application.

    Our high-performance glass formulations have acquired a reputation for offering the highest reliability and most accurate measurement in the harshest of processes. We offer a number of different pH glass membranes, each designed to meet your specific application needs.

  • The pH sensor that tells you when it’s time to change

    Electrode lifetime is difficult to predict - sensor failures can occur slowly, such as the gradual poisoning of the reference electrode or sudden as in the case of pH electrode breakage.

    Our intelligent diagnostics increase operational confidence and maximize electrode service life. Enabling users to reduce operational expenditure without risking process control.

  • Enhanced accuracy in temperature varying processes

    Variation in sample temperature is one of the most common causes of pH measurement error. ABB’s electrodes have been designed for optimal temperature compensation by locating the pH electrode, reference electrode and inbuilt temperature sensor together at the electrode tip.

    This provides the fastest temperature response as the three elements are at a similar thermal environment, as well as improving accuracy when performing calibration and enhanced process control in applications with changing sample temperatures.

  • Enjoy smarter lifelong pH measurement

    The demanding nature of pH measurement applications can affect even the most rugged pH sensors.

    Each of our electrodes combine a number of unique design features to ensure maximum operational lifetime in their targeted applications.

    So whether you need a maintenance-free electrode for low conductivity boiler water or a high-poisoning chemical process, our application specific electrodes provide the most durable cost-effective performance.

  • Maintenance-free designs

    Our robust ¾” NPT electrode bodies are made from PVDF for superior mechanical and chemical resistance and can be easily mounted in a number of configurations with our range of installation accessories.

    ATEX/IECEx certified versions available for use in hazardous area applications.

Simplified selection, maximized performance

When it comes to electrode selection we believe in keeping things simple. To help you make the right choice, we’ve divided our new family of pH/ORP sensors into three distinct ranges based on the applications they have been designed for.

Each electrode is clearly named with color-coding for ease of identification. This enables you to select the best sensor to meet your needs with ease, ensuring optimal plant efficiency, performance and lifetime - every time.
