Slope and Line Steepness
Learn about slope, which is a number indicating line steepness. Positive slopes go up to the right, negative slopes go down, and horizontal lines have a slope of 0. Find slope by ratio of vertical and horizontal changes. Explore examples to practice concepts.

Calibration of SUS pH electrodes
Hamilton SUS pH electrodes Quality Declaration : All sensors delivered with Quality Declaration The Quality Declaration contains all information needed for start-up 2
Hamilton SUS pH electrodes Quality Declaration : Zero point Most equipment (controllers or transmitters) need zero point value and slope The zero point value is the mV value at pH 7, directly provided in the declaration 3
Hamilton SUS pH electrodes Quality Declaration : Slope The slope is calculated based on zero point value and pH 4 reading according to following formula (all mV values at 25 C) : Slope= [E(pH4.01)-E(pH7.00)] / [(pH=4.01) (pH=7.00)] In previous example : Slope = (181 4)/-2.99 = -59.2mV/pH 4
Hamilton SUS pH electrodes Quality Declaration : Zero point as pH value for 0 mV Some equipment may need the slope and instead the zero point, they require the pH value to get 0mV. This one can be calculated as follows : pH(E=0mV) = [pH7*E(pH4) pH4*E(pH7)]/(EpH4-EpH7)] = In previous example : pH(E=0mV) = [7.00*181 4.01*4] / [181-4] = (1267 16.04) / (177) = 7.067 5
Hamilton SUS pH electrodes During process calibration : Some processes may require pH adjustments of the electrode during process and without removing the electrode from the vessel. This procedure is called product calibration . The user takes a sample of medium (through sterile sample valve) and makes a reference pH measurement (in lab). In case the reference value differs from process value more than a user pre-defined tolerance, an adjustment is required. It consists of an offset adjustment, the slope remains unchanged. Hamilton SUS electrodes can be handled is this way, the procedure however must be supported by the controller / transmitter. 6
