Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a tip construction for a reference electrode as defined in the preamble to Claim 1.
  • Reference electrodes used in electro-chemical measurements, and tip constructions of these, are known in the art e.g. through the Finnish patent application No. 841141 and through U.S. Patent No. 4,282,081.
  • the tip of the electrode comprises a porous plug, e.g. a plug of zirconium oxide. The plug is comparatively tightly fitted on the end of the electrode,, preventing the solutions inside and outside the electrode from becoming mixed, yet enabling electric contact between said solutions.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned. It is a particular aim of the invention to provide a novel reference electrode tip construction which is insensitive to pressure fluctuations, therefore maintaining equally good tightness all the time.
  • the reference electrode tip construction of the invention comprises a pressure-resistant body tube which is pressure-tightly closed at its measuring end.
  • the end of the tube may for instance be welded closed, or it may comprise a threaded plug which completely inhibits transfer into the tube of the pressure which is ambient to the tube.
  • the tip construction comprises a porous plug connecting electrically the exterior system, which is being measured, and the solution within said body tube, this plug being located transversally to the body tube, at a distance from the end of the body tube so that the pressure acting outside the tube acts on said plug from opposite sides on different sides of the tube, so that the resultant force due to the pressure which acts on the plug is zero.
  • the plug is a rod extending from surface to surface of the body tube, across its axis therethrough, its central part communicating with the solution in the body tube and its ends in the vicinity of the surface of the body tube so that the external pressure acts on the rods only on their ends having equal area.
  • the rod is then subjected to two pressure-induced forces, which however, being opposed in direction and exactly equal in magnitude, cancel each other's effects, whereby the rod remains stationary independent of the height of pressure.
  • a sealing plug of suitable insulating material there is provided within the body tube, a sealing plug of suitable insulating material, the rod being disposed to pass therethrough.
  • a cavity within said sealing plug freely communicating with the solution in the body tube, and the body tube has apertures at the ends of the rods. Therefore the rods themselves are not in direct contact with the body tube: they are supported by and sealed against the sealing plug of insulating material by which the solution in the body tube has been sealed to be separated from the space external to the tube.
  • the tip construction comprises at least two separate porous plugs disposed as described in the foregoing.
  • the shape of the plug is not confined in the invention to be exclusively rod-like: its shape may be chosen with comparatively great freedom.
  • An essential feature thereof are those surfaces of the plug which are in contact with the external pressure, both said surfaces being so disposed that the simultaneous forces acting on the surfaces cancel each other, whereby on the plugs act no forces which would tend to move them.
  • the forces acting on the plug are advantageously perpendicular against the axis of the body tube, whereby no stressing forces act on any other sealing parts of the tip construction either.
  • FIG. 1 presents a sectional view of a tip construction according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 presents another sectional view of the construction of Fig. 1,
  • FIG. 3 presents a third view of the same tip construction.
  • a reference electrode according to the invention depicted in the drawing, comprises a pressure-resistant body tube 1 e.g. of steel, its end 4 being pressure-tightly stoppered with a threaded plug 5.
  • the inner surface of the body tube includes an insulation 12 which insulates the solution 2 in the tube and the tube itself.
  • the insulation ends at a distance from the end 4 of the tube, and at this point there has been placed in the tube a sealing plug 8 partly supported by the insulation 12 and partly on the outside thereof by the body tube, within said plug being provided a solution cavity 9 which communicates freely with the interior space of the body tube.
  • This plug 8 is tightened and sealed in place against the insulation 12 and the body tube 1 by the aid of a compression spring 11, located between the sealing plug and the stopper 5.
  • the spring 11 presses the plug 8 into position.
  • the tip construction furthermore comprises, placed in the sealing plug 8, two porous rods 6 extending therethrough from surface to surface, these rods passing through the centre of the sealing plug with round cross section and being perpendicular against the axis of the sealing plug, and at the same time against that of the body tube 1.
  • the rods are joined with tight sealing to the sealing plug 8 of insulating material, said plug consisting e.g. of Teflon or of another suitable material.
  • the body tube 1 has apertures 10 at the ends of the rods 6, whereby the ends of the rods are in free contact with the space and pressure on the outside of the body tube.
  • the rods 6 being constituted by a brittle membrane, such as zirconium oxide for instance, the rods will electrically connect the space outside the body tube and the solution 2 inside the body tube, as they pass through the solution cavity 9 and open through the aperture 10 in the body tube 1, to the exterior space. At the same time, however, the rods preclude direct communication between the solution 2 and the exterior space of the tube and material flows between said spaces.
  • the tightness and good operation of the tip construction here disclosed is based on the circumstance that the pressure external to the body tube cannot damage the seals and brittle membranes of the construction because the brittle rods have been disposed so that the pressure acts on them only in a direction at right angles to the body tube, and only on the ends of the rods, which have equal surface areas.
  • the pressure external to the body tube cannot damage the seals and brittle membranes of the construction because the brittle rods have been disposed so that the pressure acts on them only in a direction at right angles to the body tube, and only on the ends of the rods, which have equal surface areas.
  • two forces with equal absolute magnitude but completely opposed in direction and which cancel each other whereby no forces whatsoever tending to move the rod act on the rod.
  • no forces whatsoever occur there which are longitudinal with reference to the tube and which might impair the tight sealing of the tip construction. Therefore the construction retains its tightness in any conceivable pressure conditions.

Abstract

Construction d'une tête destinée à une électrode de référence comprenant un tube servant de corps résistant à la pression (1), ainsi qu'une fiche poreuse (3) reliant électriquement le système mesuré et la solution (2) dans ledit tube de corps. Selon l'invention, le tube de corps (1) est fermé hermétiquement à son extrémité (4) et la fiche (3) est placée transversalement par rapport au tube de corps, de sorte que la pression se trouvant dans le système agit sur la fiche à partir des côtés opposés, et que la force exercée par la presion agissant sur la fiche est nulle.
