28、 the definitions given in Clause 3 of IEC 60746-1, as well as the following apply. 3.1.1 pH value A measure of the conventional hydrogen ion activity a H+ (see equation (1), in an aqueous solution given by the expression: pH = log a H+It is measured with respect to pH values assigned to certain refe
29、rence pH buffer solutions. The measurement is performed by determining the e.m.f., E, between a pair of electrodes immersed in the sample to be measured, according to the cell scheme: Page5 EN607462:2003 Reference electrode I Sample I pH electrode E and a measurement with the same electrode pair at
30、the same temperature in a reference buffer solution of pH (S 1 ) according to Reference electrode I Buffer (S 1 ) I pH electrode E(S 1 ) The e.m.f.s E(S 1 ), etc. are defined as the difference of the potential of the right-hand (pH) electrode minus the potential of the left-hand (reference) electrod
31、e. The pH of the sample is then given ideally by: k E E ) S ( ) pH(S pH 1 1 = (1) where k = 2,3026 R.T/F, the theoretical, Nernstian, slope (see 3.1.2) . Numerical values for k, the theoretical slope factor, at temperatures from 0 C to 95 C, are given in Annex A. NOTE Measurements in non or partiall
32、y aqueous media are beyond the scope of this document; the reader should refer to specialist texts. 3.1.2 practical slope factor and percentage theoretical slope PTS performance of the electrode pair may fall below the theoretical slope k exhibiting the practical slope k which may be determined by r

34、d below pH 3 should not generally be used (see Annex B). The percentage theoretical slope (PTS) is given by: k k PTS = 100Equations (1) and (2) can be combined by substituting k for k in equation (1) where: () ( ) ( ) ( ) ()() 1 2 2 1 1 1 S S S pH S pH S S pH H E E E E p = (3) and the two reference
35、buffers are usually chosen to bracket the pH of the sample. 3.1.3 pH sensor the most commonly used pH sensor is the glass electrode, other potentiometric sensors, for example, the antimony electrode only being adopted when its use is precluded.

It is a function of the temperature coefficients of the individual electrodes and provides temperature compensation for the electrode pair
