Overview
The Rosemount 398VP-10-31-54 pH/ORP sensor is a high-performance analytical instrument designed for accurate and reliable pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measurement in harsh industrial process streams. Manufactured by Emerson (Rosemount Analytical), this sensor combines chemical-resistant materials with advanced reference junction technology to ensure minimal maintenance and extended sensor life in demanding applications.
This model features the GPHT hemi pH glass electrode for 0–14 pH measurement range, Viton O-ring material for chemical resistance, and Pt-100 RTD (resistance temperature detector) output for direct wiring to Rosemount 56, 1056, 1057, 1066, and 5081 transmitters.
Key Features
- Chemical-resistant construction: Tefzelâ„¢ and titanium wetted materials withstand chlorine dioxide, organic solvents, and oxidizing agents
- TUpH reference junction: Large-area helical reference pathway minimizes poisoning, fouling, and coating issues for extended service intervals
- Viton O-ring material: Superior chemical compatibility for aggressive process environments
- Variopol (VP 6.0) connector: Industry-standard quick-disconnect connector for easy maintenance and cable replacement
- Pt-100 RTD output: Direct compatibility with Rosemount analytical transmitters and temperature-compensated measurements
- Dual-measurement capability: Simultaneous pH (0–14) and ORP (−1500 to +1500 mV) measurement options
