Conducell UPW 2-Pole Conductivity Sensors
Utlra-Pure Water (UPW) refers to water with very low conductivity, such as Water for Injection (WFI). The UPW 2-pole conductivity sensor is fully compliant for use in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Conducell UPW - Arc
Available with either PG13,5 or Tri-Clamp process connections. The removable Arc module gives intelligent sensor capabilities with a traceable simulator for USP 645 compliance.
Conducell UPW - Traditional
Traditional Conducell UPW sensors are available in 120 mm length and VP6 connection. It is well-suited for Ultra-Pure Water, Pure Water, and Water for Injection applications.

Featured FAQ
Does the cell constant of my conductivity sensor change over time?
The cell constant of a conductivity sensor may change over time due to corrosion of the electrodes from an aggressive media, or due to fouling of the electrodes. Calibration adjusts the cell constant and can help offset these effects to a certain extent.
-
Does temperature affect conductivity measurement?
Yes, temperature has a direct impact on conductivity. Increasing temperature increases the mobility of ions within a solution and results in higher conductivity measurements. Temperature compensation can be performed using empirically derived temperature coefficients, which may be different for various solutions. -
Which liquid conductivity standard should I use for calibration?
A conductivity standard should be chosen that most closely matches the anticipated conductivity range of the process. -
What can I use to clean the conductivity sensor electrodes if fouling occurs?
The metal electrodes of 2 and 4-pole sensors can be cleaned with water and mild detergents and washed with deionized water after cleaning. Care should be taken to not use cleaning agents that can impact the material of the electrodes. Click to reference the knowledgebase article on cleaning for more information.
