The cartridge
The cartridge sensing system has a proven track record in a wide range of applications. New features such as the low
resistance ‘blue-glass’ and the small-bore flow version for low volume samples reinforces the performance and extends the
applications that can be fulfilled using this versatile and welltested system.Manufactured in glass-coupled polypropylene, 

the all-in-one sensor can be supplied for flow-through, dip and submersible applications.

Flow systems – can be supplied with a choice of process connections and materials to meet the demands of the sample to be measured. The bayonet snap-fit enables rapid and convenient access for calibration – just twist and turn and the sensor is released for easy and quick calibration.Pipeline adaptor (7670/063) – is available to enable the sensor to be inserted directly into a pipe.Dip systems – available in 1, 2 and 3 m (39, 78 and 117 in) lengths for use in open channels and tanks.Submersible systems – available with an integral sealed
connection cable enabling the sensor to be completely submerged – ideal for boreholes or where there is a large rise and fall in the sample to be measured. Provision is made for a support chain to be attached to the system. A wide range of standard cable lengths is available.

Water-wash options – available for flow and dip systems where coating of the pH glass causes maintenance issues.
Water-wash has proven very successful in many applications.Detachable cables – an option that makes replacing the
sensor a simple, easy-to-do operation. The use of IP67 plug and socket connectors ensures that problems caused by
moisture ingress do not occur and enables reliable operation in the most demanding applications.

Double-junction PTFE reference – a key feature to minimize the risk of blocking of the junction and protect against
poisoning of the electrolyte.Supplied ready-to-go – fitted with a wetted teat to ensure the sensor is in optimum condition 

and requires no preconditioning prior to installing and commissioning.Small-bore flow systems – ideal for applications where only
small sample volumes are available (between 100 and 500 ml/minute [0.176 and 0.88 pints/minute]) for continuous analysis.
These flow systems are offered in a choice of two materials,stainless steel and Delrin, both widely used on low conductivity water. Being small and compact they help to keep the panel size to a minimum when used on multiparameter packages and are a very cost effective solution.
Low resistance glass – a unique glass designed particularly for cold water samples where conventional sensors perform sluggishly due to low sample temperatures (below 10 °C down to 0 °C [below 50 °F down to 32 °F]). This sensor is used extensively on potable water treatment works where the sample temperature is commonly below 10 °C (50 °F). A further benefit of the low resistance glass is improved speed of response where the sample has a low conductivity (lessthan 100 μS/cm and down to 20 μS/cm).
