Overview of PHC10103 Hach pH Electrode
PHC10103 is a digital combination pH electrode launched by Hach, belonging to the gel rugged series, with a cable length of 3 meters. This electrode has a built-in temperature sensor and adopts a double-junction reference design, making it suitable for on-site measurement scenarios such as wastewater treatment.
A pH electrode, also known as a pH probe or pH sensor, is the core component of a pH meter that contacts the substance being measured to determine the electrode potential. The PHC10103, when used with Hach HQ series instruments such as the HQ11D, enables high-precision pH and ORP measurement.
Core Technical Parameters
The PHC10103 electrode features a wide measurement range and high sensitivity. The following are the main technical specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| pH range | 0~14 pH |
| ORP range | -1500~+1500 mV |
| Sensitivity | H+: ±0.01 pH; ORP: ±0.5 mV |
| Temperature range | -5~95°C |
| Maximum pressure | 6.9 bar at 105°C |
| Probe material | PEEK, Ryton optional |
Among these, PEEK material offers excellent chemical corrosion resistance and low thermal distortion, suitable for sanitary installations; Ryton material has excellent compatibility with strongly alkaline substances.

Technical Advantages and Usage Points
The PHC10103 electrode has a built-in preamplifier, which effectively reduces signal interference and improves measurement stability. Its replaceable salt bridge design extends sensor service life and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
This electrode adopts a digital combination structure, integrating pH measurement, ORP measurement, and temperature compensation functions. The gel-filled double-junction reference system requires no refilling, making it suitable for rapid on-site deployment.
Typical Application Scenarios
- Continuous pH monitoring in wastewater treatment processes
- Industrial process water and discharge water testing
- Outdoor on-site measurements requiring rugged and durable probes
Installation and Maintenance Recommendations
- Select an appropriate cable length based on the installation location to avoid excessive pulling.
- Regularly check the salt bridge condition and replace it when necessary to extend electrode life.
- Avoid using under conditions exceeding 95°C or 6.9 bar pressure.
- Store the electrode in a dedicated storage solution when not in use to prevent the gel from drying out.
Compatible Instruments and Procurement Information
The PHC10103 can be used with Hach multi-parameter analyzers such as HQ11D, HQ14D, HQ30D, HQ40D, and HQ440D. Accessories such as the LDO 101 rugged dissolved oxygen probe (30-meter cable) can also be optionally configured as needed.
