pH ORP Sensor Measurement Principle
The pH sensor measures hydrogen ion activity using a glass electrode and reference electrode.
The potential difference generated between the electrodes varies proportionally with the pH value of the solution.
ORP measurement is based on detecting the oxidation or reduction potential of the solution.
The sensor outputs a millivolt (mV) signal representing the solution’s ability to gain or lose electrons.
Both signals are digitally processed and transmitted via RS485 for stable and accurate readings.

Calibration guidance and long-term maintenance support
Instrava focuses on stable field performance, not just laboratory accuracy.

Under normal industrial water conditions, the typical service life of a pH or ORP electrode is 12–18 months. Actual lifespan depends on water quality, temperature, chemical composition, and maintenance practices.
For stable industrial water, calibration is usually recommended once per month. In harsh or fluctuating process conditions, more frequent calibration (every 1–2 weeks) helps maintain measurement accuracy.
Electrode lifespan can be shortened by high temperature, strong acids or alkalis, oil contamination, solids abrasion, and improper cleaning. Regular inspection and correct cleaning procedures significantly extend sensor life.
Yes. The sensor is suitable for wastewater applications; however, regular cleaning is recommended to prevent fouling on the glass membrane, which may affect response time and accuracy.
The pH ORP sensor is compatible with most standard industrial pH/ORP transmitters and analyzers that support glass electrode inputs and NTC temperature compensation.
Stable long-term operation is achieved through proper installation, correct calibration, regular cleaning, and suitable electrode selection based on process conditions. Using compatible transmitters with temperature compensation further improves measurement stability.
