The Atlas Scientific Industrial Gold ORP Probe - 3 Meters (9.8') Tinned Lead is an advanced sensor designed for precise oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measurements, particularly effective in environments such as saltwater swimming pools. This probe utilizes a gold sensing element, which offers distinct catalytic properties compared to traditional platinum probes, making it highly sensitive to specific redox reactions. This characteristic makes it especially suitable for use in highly reducing environments, such as 'produced water' from oil wells, where the ORP can be significantly negative.
The probe is engineered to deliver accurate readings across a wide ORP range, ensuring reliable performance in various applications. Its robust construction allows it to withstand high pressure and significant depths, making it versatile for industrial use. The probe is equipped with a 3-meter tinned lead cable, providing flexibility in installation and connectivity.
The durability of the gold ORP probe is reflected in its extended life expectancy, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Although slightly more costly than platinum alternatives due to the complexity of binding gold to glass, the enhanced performance in specific conditions justifies the investment for specialized applications.
