The Model S80 universal sensors provide a stable and economical platform for the in line measurement of pH, ORP, Specific Ion, Dissolved Oxygen, Conductivity or Resistivity. The Model S80 is an insertion or immersion style sensor for use in pipe Tees or on the end of a Stand Pipe for immersion into a tank or pond. The Model S80 is also available as a valve retractable design allowing insertion or removal of the sensor into a pipe without interrupting the process flow. Both sensor designs use easily replaceable electrode cartridges. ECD offers several ion selective electrode cartridges suitable for continuous online measurement.

The Nitrate Ion Electrode is a combination electrode with a sensing element made of a PVC membrane containing an ion exchanger and a double junction reference electrode. The nitrate Ion Selective Electrode cartridge develops a millivolt potential proportional to the concentration of nitrate ions in the measured solution. The typical output is 50mV to 60mV per decade of change in concentration. The speed of response varies froma few seconds in concentrated solutions up to a few minutes in the lower ppm ranges. The Nitrate Ion sensors are used with the Model T80 Transmitter with its dual channel mix and match capabilities. These analyzers will measure nitrate ions from 0.1 ppm to 14,000 ppm autoranging the display
between the ppb, ppm and ppt (parts per thousand) scales.
