It also has a High Meg ohm impedance option that is critical for simulating the high impedance of the pH glass and testing the amplification circuitry.8 www.VL-PC.com info@VL-PC.com (800) 522-7920pH Simulator / S250............................................................................................................................................................................9 www.VL-PC.com info@VL-PC.com (800) 522-7920The pHlat™ is a true flat bulb with a 0-14 pH range. The low impedance of the glass formulation allows this shape to have fast response and stable readings with a 0-14 pH range . The pHlat™ bulb design is ideal for low volume samples either in a flow cell or or 12mm design. In an industrial application with high flow and suspended solids the pHlat™ bulb supplies superior life due to reduced bulb abrading.The 12mm pH bulb provides a huge surface area for faster response time and significantly improved stability. The best part is that the 12mm bulb uses an extra thick ruggedized membrane that is rated for 0-14 pH range and up to 130°C and all of this with a remarkable 10 mO bulb resistance.pHlat™ and 12mm BulbsThe Van London - pHoenix Co.
