Construction
The complete reference electrode (RE) 43
43 comprises two parts:
•
6.0728.0X0
Ag/AgCl reference system (122
122)
with ceramic diaphragm type D, diameter = 1 mm
6.0728.020 Reference system: Ag/AgCl/c(KCl) = 3 mol/L;
supplied in a holder filled with c(KCl) = 3 mol/L
as standard
6.0728.010 Reference system: Ag/AgCl
supplied dry (option)
•
6.1245.010
Electrolyte vessel (123
123)
with ceramic diaphragm type D, diameter=3 mm;
holds a second electrolyte solution (bridge
electrolyte) and thus forms with the 6.0728.020
Reference system a complete reference electrode
in the so-called double junction construction.
The construction of the reference electrode and the designations of the individual
parts are shown in Fig. 17.
