Conductivity Products

Electrolytic conductivity is the ability of a liquid to pass an electric current. Our comprehensive range is used in many industries as a means of measuring water quality or the concentration of a chemical solution. The measuring system comprises two parts; an analyser and a sensor, also known as a cell.
 

Conductivity Cells

Our broad range of conductivity cells encompasses three measuring techniques: 2-electrode cells for µS/cm ranges, 4 and 6 electrode sensors for mS/cm levels and non-contact, electrode-less sensors.
Multi-electrode and electrode-less (toroidal) sensors tend to be used for applications with aggressive chemicals or where there can be sensor coating or fouling.
Comprehensive mounting methods are available to suit the majority of process applications: insertion, flow-through, immersion and retractable.

2-Electrode Contacting Cells - Range 0 to 10,000µS/cm (0 to 20,000µS/cm using TB82TE analyzers)
4-Electrode Contacting Cells - Range 0 to 2,000mS/cm
6-Electrode Contacting Cells - Range 0 to 500mS/cm
Electrodeless sensors - Range 0 to 2,000mS/cm

2-Electrode Contacting Cells - Range 0 to 10,000 µS/cm
High accuracy technique for trace conductivities from ultrapure water to industrial rinse waters. An alternating current is passed between two electrodes in contact with a solution. The transmitter converts the resultant potential difference into conductivity, concentration or specific resistance

TB26

Screw-In Insertion, Immersion & Retractable, 2 - Electrode Conductivity Sensors

The TB26 sensors are easily installed into process lines and vessels via the integral ¾-NPT threads, submersed directly into lines and vessels via the ½-NPT backthreads, or inserted into a process line or vessel through a ball valve. The ball valve provides isolation between the sensor and the process, allowing sensor insertion and removal while the line or vessel is full. This is accomplished by using a 1-½ inch standard ball valve. A compression fitting with flushing ports allows the operator to wash away any left over process fluid after removing the sensor. The flushing ports also provide a quick and easy place to take a grab sample for calibration. Variable sensor lengths are available for all Model TB26 sensor styles. The hot-tap sensor can be used with the compression fitting and without the ball valve to provide even greater installation flexibility.
