TempHion Measurement Theory
The TempHion works on the principle of direct potentiometry—the same principle that governs any other pH or ISE electrode.
Two electrodes
Sensing electrode (button)
Reference electrode (in reservoir)
![Page 26: INW SENSOR TECHNOLOGY Future Ready. Sensor History at INW Analog Pressure Sensors 1985 Analog pH & ISE Sensors 1995 Smart Pressure Sensors 2002 Smart.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102805/551786125503463e368b5326/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
TempHion Measurement Theory
• Reference electrode immersed in filling solution of known chloride content. Chloride content stays constant as long as solution is not contaminated or diluted.
• Filling solution must be in contact with solution being tested to complete the electrical circuit.
Liquid junction port
![Page 27: INW SENSOR TECHNOLOGY Future Ready. Sensor History at INW Analog Pressure Sensors 1985 Analog pH & ISE Sensors 1995 Smart Pressure Sensors 2002 Smart.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102805/551786125503463e368b5326/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Measurement Theory
• “Cell potential” is measured across the two electrodes.
• Potential of sensing electrode varies logarithmically with the concentration of the ion it senses.
• Aqua4Plus uses this reading and applies calibration and temperature compensation to arrive at highly accurate readings.

Temperature Compensation
Compensates for temperature related errors. Calibration of each unit eliminates differences between
individual sensors. No additional temperature sensors needed for temperature
measurements. Uses a relatively inexpensive strain-gauge device for high-
accuracy readings.(.03% FSO for 5 psi device at 0° – 35° C)

Solving Thermal Error
Elements have thermal Character
Measure Temperature and Pressure over Range to optimize for each sensor
Generate Calibration Coefficients
Apply Cal Values to each measurement
Improves Thermal error to .1% over -20 to 85 C, .05% over 0 to 40

Solving linearization error
Once sensor is thermally compensated to range, you can apply additional linearization math
Currently 3 pt algorithm

Long-Term Drift: Last Challenge
Currently specificed at .1% FS Span/yr Typical
Depends on many factors
Current recommendation: Service every 6 months, by doing this you eliminate installation variables as well
Results: Less than .01 Feet error over 3 years with our 30 psi units!!!
