Appendix A pH solution coefficient
The solution coefficient compensates the Nernstian value for
pH measurements, and the raw voltage value for ORP
The temperature compensation factor is derived from the
following equations:
pHin dicationnernsti an ±COEF ×

Examples of solution coefficients for pure water applications
are:
The solution coefficient for the AWT420 transmitter either adds
or subtracts a configured amount of the process variable per
Thus, an application with a process liquid that decreases in its
pH value as the temperature increases uses a positive solution
coefficient correction factor. Conversely, an application with a
process liquid that increases in its pH value as the temperature
increases uses a negative solution coefficient correction factor.
The solution coefficient affects the uncompensated process
variable for ORP analyzer types in the same manner as the pH
analyzer type.
