ORE542110-532910-63613-Series

Supported Applications

The Omega Combination Style Industrial pH and ORP Electrodes series is designed for harsh industrial environments. The product line includes Twist Lock Industrial Electrodes, Rebuildable Submersible Electrode Assemblies, Pipe Tees, Twist Lock Adaptors, Submersion Assemblies, and Replacement Electrode Holders.

Specific application configurations documented in the specification tables include:

• pH Measurement: General purpose (0 to 13 pH), High pH (0 to 14 pH), and Double junction designs for fouling-prone media.
• ORP Measurement: Platinum sensors for general-purpose ORP applications; Gold sensors specifically noted for use where cyanide is present.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series supports process temperatures ranging from -5 to 110 °C (23 to 230 °F) depending on the specific electrode model and housing material. Submersion assemblies with CPVC housings are rated for -5 to 80 °C (23 to 186 °F), while PVDF options extend this range.

Key performance parameters include:

• pH Range: 0 to 13 pH or 0 to 14 pH, depending on the sensor element selected.
• Resistance (R MΩ at 25°C / 77°F): General purpose models list 50 MΩ; High pH and Double junction high pH models list 200 MΩ. ORP electrodes are marked with "—" for resistance in the specification table.
• Pressure Rating: Electrodes withstand pressure up to 150 psi.

Junction and Housing Materials

The series features non-fouling annular ceramic junctions. Housings are available in PVDF or CPVC, with dual 'O' rings (EPR, FKM) to prevent process contact with potting epoxy.

• CPVC: Maximum temperature 66°C (151°F) for pipe tees and adaptors; -5 to 80 °C (23 to 186 °F) for submersion assemblies and holders.
• PVDF: Rated up to 110°C (230°F) for pipe tees, twist lock adaptors, and specific submersion assemblies/holders.

Configuration Options

The series offers configurable dimensions across Twist Lock Industrial and Rebuildable Submersible families. All electrodes include a 3 m (10') cable with BNC connector. Wetted materials include PVDF, CPVC, 316SS locking pins, EPR/FKM seals, Platinum, and Gold.

Twist Lock Industrial Electrodes

Models in this family utilize a twist-lock mechanism for secure installation. Available configurations:

• PHE-5321-10 / PHE-6461-3: General purpose pH (0 to 13).
• PHE-5421-10 / PHE-6462-3: Double junction designs.
• PHE-5322-10 / PHE-6362-3: High pH (0 to 14).
• ORE-5421-10 / ORE-6361-3: ORP Platinum.
• ORE-5329-10 / ORE-6469-3: ORP Gold (for cyanide applications).

Housings and Adaptors

The series supports various mounting configurations including pipe tees, twist lock adaptors, submersion assemblies, and electrode holders. Ordering examples indicate that electrodes and housings are ordered separately.

• Pipe Tees: ¼ MNPT or 1 MNPT fittings in CPVC (PHEH-34TP/PHEH-1TP) or PVDF (PHEH-34TK/PHEH-1TK).
• Twist Lock Adaptors: Available with ¼ MNPT or 1 MNPT threading.
• Submersion Assemblies: PHEH-63P-3 (CPVC, 3' length) and PHEH-63K-3 (PVDF).
• Electrode Holders: Replacement holders include PHEH-64P (CPVC) and PHEH-64K (PVDF). An optional in-line housing ¼ MNPT PVDF rated to 100 psi is also listed as PHEH-66K.

Key Product Differences

The series distinguishes between Twist Lock Industrial and Rebuildable Submersible electrode families. The model number guide follows the pattern PHE-<MODEL>-<SUFFIX>. Specific variations include:

• Twist Lock vs. Submersible: Twist lock models (e.g., PHE-5321-10) are designed for threaded installation, while rebuildable submersible assemblies (e.g., PHEH-63P-3) feature a ¼" MNPT connection with specific lengths such as 80 mm (3.13 inch) overall length and 12 mm (0.47 inch) diameter.
• Material Selection: CPVC housings are limited to lower maximum temperatures compared to PVDF options, which support up to 110°C (230°F).
• Sensor Element: ORP electrodes vary by tip material; Platinum is standard for general purpose, while Gold is specified for applications with cyanide present.
