obviously wrong
54
Cause
pH electrode:
Diaphragm contaminated
Membrane contaminated
Sample solution:
pH value not stable
Temperature not stable
Electrode + sample solution:
Conductivity too low
High temperature
Organic fluids
pH electrode:
Unsuitable pH electrode
Temperature difference
between calibration and

Troubleshooting
Action
pH electrode:
Clean diaphragm
Clean membrane
Sample solution:
Measure in an airproof vessel
if necessary
Temper if necessary
Electrode + sample solution:
Use suitable pH electrode
Use suitable pH electrode
Use suitable pH electrode
pH electrode:
Select suitable pH electrode
Temper buffer or sample
solution
With grounded sample solution
do not use a grounded PC or
printer
Pay attention to special
procedures
