General Model PH20 and FU20

pH/Redox and Temperature sensor

Specifications

The PH20 is nicknamed “Tempress” because of the patented

compensation for changes in the process temperature and
pressure. This simple mechanical feature makes the sensor more
accurate, and gives it a longer lifetime. The compensation panels
flex to accommodate changes in the avoiding large differential
pressures across the diaphragm. This prevents most problems
associated with the reference junction. Made in chemically
resistant PVDF, this all-in-one sensor has elements to measure
pH, ORP and temperature. The reference system is Silver/Silver
Chloride, with a double junction and a gelled electrolyte to
combat pollution. The Platinum Redox electrode doubles as a
solution ground, essential for uncompromising accuracy, and for
sensor diagnostic measurements.

The FU20 combination sensors show how Yokogawa applies

the motto “Simply the Best” to sensor technology. The wide
body sensors (26 mm diameter) hold four separate elements
in one unbreakable PPS 40GF (RytonTM) body. Installation is
simple with the integrated industrial 3/4” tapered thread. The
large volume gelled electrolyte and the double junction reference
system slows down depletion and poisoning therefore extending
the lifetime. The system is targeted at those applications where
simplicity will result in accurate and reliable pH- or redox
measurements. This means that in 90% of the know applications
this sensor will be an excellent choice.

Features
• Simultaneous pH- and ORP measurement
• Integral Pt1000 temperature element for enhanced accuracy
• Available with VP connector
• Double junction and long diffusional path for reference pollution
resistance
• Extended life time by large volume of polymerized electrolyte
and porous PTFE diaphragm
• Solid Glass/Platinum electrode for solution ground or ORP
measurement

Cleaning system for FU20 & PH20

Some applications require frequent cleaning of the electrode.

For these applications Yokogawa designed a chemical cleaning
system that can either be used in the Yokogawa fitting range
(HCN2, HCN3 or HCN4) or as back-end mounting option for
K1547PH the PH20 and FU20. The /HCNF option comes with a hastelloy
cleaning nozzle, Stainless steel mounting (and ferrules) sets and
a nylon tube of 10 meters.
