B. Maintenance of the pH/ORP Sensor After use, the pH/ORP sensor well must be refilled with Myron L Storage The sensor well must be kept wet with a solution. Before replacing the Solution, and the protective cap reinstalled securely (ref. Maintenance of rubber cap, rinse and fill the sensor well with (in order of preference): the pH/ORP Sensor, pg.
N O T E : After sampling high concentration solutions or temperature extremes, more rinsing may be required. When sampling low conductivity IMPORTANT : After use, fill pH/ORP sensor well with Myron L solutions, be sure the pH cap is well seated so no solution washes into Storage Solution, a strong KCl solution or pH 4 buffer, and the conductivity cell from around the pH cap.

You want to clear the conductivity reference electrode to be set whenever pH 7 calibration is done. reading stored in record location #3 and replace it with a pH reading.
CALIBRATION INTERVALS There is no simple answer as to how often one should calibrate an instrument. The Ultrameter is designed to not require frequent recalibration. The most common sources of error were eliminated in the design, and there are no mechanical adjustments. Still, to ensure specified accuracy, any instrument has to be checked against chemical Figure 11 Figure 12...
The conductivity cell cup should be kept as clean as possible. Flushing with clean water following use will prevent buildup on electrodes. Keep the sensor wet with Myron L Storage Solution. However, if very dirty samples — particularly scaling types — are allowed to dry in the cell cup, a film will form.

Leaving high pH (alkaline) solutions in contact with the pH sensor for long periods of time can damage it. Rinsing such liquids from the pH/ORP sensor well and refilling well with Myron L Storage Solution, a saturated KCl solution, pH 4 buffer, or a salty tap water, will extend the sensor’s useful life.

Myron L Company The value for KCl is often quoted simply as 2%/°C. In fact, KCl tempco buffer solutions are traceable to NIST certified pH references and are varies with concentration and temperature in a non-linear fashion.

Another solution would have a different tempco because of its ionization effective, not the total, acidity of a solution. activity. And, that tempco may be a little different at a different concentration or temperature. This is why the Ultrameter uses A 4% solution of acetic acid (pH 4, vinegar) can be quite palatable, but a mathematically generated models for known salt characteristics that vary 4% solution of sulfuric acid (pH 0) is a violent poison.
