In-line pH analyzers provide accurate process pH measurements in a wide range of environments, from ultrapure water to hygienic measurement in a bioreactor to dirty chemical production. A pH analyzer consists of a sensor, transmitter and process adaption, combined to best suit your pH control needs. In-line pH sensors have several elements that are required for them to measure the pH of a solution. The most important part of an in-line pH probe is the end which is in contact with the solution. The glass tip is a type of membrane on which a gel layer forms when the in-line pH sensor is in an aqueous solution. A similar gel layer also forms on the inside of the membrane glass.

METTLER TOLEDO‘s InPro 3100i, 3250i and 3253i family are pre-pressurized, liquid-filled, low-maintenance temperature, pH and ORP sensors for in-line measurements in demanding applications. The durable design is well suited for harsh chemical process conditions or to meet the stringent demands of sterile biotech applications where CIP and SIP are used. These rugged electrodes lead the industry for fast and precise measurements, even after repeated autoclaving or sterilization cycles at 140°C (284°F). For pharmaceutical applications, the InPro 3100i sensor is the basic, economical pH/ORP sensor that is suitable for most applications whereas the InPro 3253i is the top of the line pH/ORP sensor.  The InPro 3250i sensor is designed for food & beverage applications.    

pH electrodes with ISM functionality allows Plug and Measure and advanced diagnostics.  ISM simplifies the installation, handling and maintenance of measurement equipment.  For more information see the Accessories section.
