Mettler Toledo InPro4800/SG/225/PT1000 Analog pH Electrode | Order No. 52003544
1. Product Overview
The Mettler Toledo InPro4800/SG/225/PT1000 (Order No. 52003544) is a premium analog in-line combination pH electrode from the InPro4800(i) series, with built-in PT1000 temperature sensor and Solution Ground (SG), specifically designed for harsh industrial conditions. It is a classic and widely applied pH electrode in Mettler Toledo's Process Analytics product line.
The electrode features a High Alkali resistant (HA) glass membrane, developed specifically for harsh conditions and highly alkaline media, maintaining excellent response performance and measurement accuracy across the full pH 0-14 range, effectively overcoming the "sodium error/alkaline error" of ordinary glass membranes at high pH values. It also has good mechanical strength and chemical resistance, capable of long-term reliable operation in high-temperature, high-pressure, strongly corrosive industrial environments.
The reference system adopts gel electrolyte + PTFE annular diaphragm + pressure compensated double chamber Ag/AgCl system. Gel electrolyte requires no refilling, maintenance-free, no leakage; PTFE annular diaphragm has low surface energy, anti-fouling anti-clogging, large contact area, especially suitable for media with suspended solids, oils, proteins, sulfides and other fouling substances; pressure compensated double chamber ensures stable reference potential unaffected by process pressure fluctuations; Ag/AgCl reference system provides stable and reliable reference potential.
Solution Ground (SG) has a built-in platinum auxiliary electrode with three functions: ① Eliminates ground loop interference, improving measurement stability; ② Supports advanced sensor diagnostics by monitoring SG-to-reference impedance to diagnose electrode health (diaphragm fouling, electrolyte depletion, glass membrane aging), enabling predictive maintenance; ③ The platinum electrode can also measure ORP/Redox (typical range -1500 to +1500mV), one electrode dual-use.
The electrode has a built-in PT1000 temperature sensor (1000Ω at 0°C), measures process temperature in real-time, works with transmitter for automatic temperature compensation (ATC), ensuring accurate pH measurement across the full -5 to 130°C range. PT1000 has higher signal resolution and anti-interference capability than PT100.
This model is an analog electrode, directly transmits pH millivolt signal and PT1000 temperature signal, compatible with Mettler Toledo M300/M400/M700/M800 transmitters and third-party transmitters supporting analog pH input. The electrode uses a VP cable connector and Pg 13.5 thread process connection, standard interface specifications for industrial process pH electrodes.
The electrode shaft is made of glass, diameter approx. 12mm, this model length 225mm (series optional 120/225/360/425mm). Operating temperature range -5°C to +130°C, operating pressure 0 to 12 barg at 130°C (safety factor 3).
Comprehensive explosion-proof certifications: CE, Mettler Toledo Quality Certificate, FM (IS Cl. I, II, III, Div 1, GR ABCDEFG / T6), ATEX/IECEx (Ex ia IIC T6 / T5 / T4 / T3 Ga / Gb), PED. Intrinsically safe design for safe use in explosive gas hazardous areas.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is InPro4800/SG/225/PT1000? Difference from InPro4260i? What does SG mean?
A: The InPro4800/SG/225/PT1000 (Order No. 52003544) is a Mettler Toledo analog in-line combination pH electrode with built-in PT1000 and platinum Solution Ground (SG), designed for harsh industrial conditions.
Basic info: Brand Mettler Toledo (Switzerland), analog type, pH 0-14, -5~130°C, 0~12bar@130°C, 225mm, VP6 connector.
Difference from InPro4260i: InPro4800 is analog (VP6, PT1000, gel electrolyte, PTFE diaphragm); InPro4260i is ISM digital (K8S, digital temp, Xerolyt Extra polymer, open junction, Argenthal silver trap, Plug and Measure/DLI/adaptive calibration). InPro4800 is cost-effective general-purpose; InPro4260i is flagship digital for highly demanding chemical.
SG = Solution Ground: Built-in platinum auxiliary electrode with three functions: ① Eliminates ground loop interference; ② Supports advanced diagnostics via impedance monitoring; ③ Also measures ORP/Redox (typical -1500~+1500mV).
Q2: Analog or digital? What transmitters and cables?
A: Analog electrode. Compatible transmitters: Mettler Toledo M300/M400/M700/M800 and third-party transmitters with analog pH input (≥10^12Ω) and PT1000 input. Compatible cables: VP6-ST (standard, -30~70°C) and VP6-HT (high temperature), must use Mettler Toledo VP6 dedicated cable. Note: ISM digital electrodes (K8S) cannot use VP6 cable; third-party transmitters may not support SG advanced diagnostics.
Q3: PTFE diaphragm vs open junction? Gel electrolyte refillable?
A: InPro4800 uses PTFE annular diaphragm + gel electrolyte; InPro4260i uses open junction + Xerolyt Extra polymer. PTFE diaphragm: strong anti-fouling, low clogging risk, for general industrial/moderate fouling media. Open junction: no diaphragm at all, fundamentally no clogging, for extreme high-fouling media (suspended solids, proteins, sulfides, oils). Gel electrolyte is NOT refillable — sealed inside, maintenance-free, replace electrode at end of life. Selection: moderate fouling → InPro4800 (cost-effective); extreme fouling → InPro4260i (longer life).
Q4: Resistant to strong alkali? What is HA glass membrane? Accurate at high pH?
A: Yes. HA = High Alkali resistant glass membrane, specially developed for highly alkaline media. Ordinary glass membranes suffer "sodium error" at pH>10 (reading low due to sodium ion response), error up to 0.5pH at pH 12. HA membrane through special formulation significantly reduces sodium error, accurate across pH 0-14. For high alkali conditions, calibrate with pH 9.21/10.01 alkaline buffer (not only acidic), calibrate every 2-4 weeks. Applications: chlor-alkali (pH 13-14), chemical strong alkali reactions (pH 11-13), pulp & paper (pH 12-14), alkaline CIP (pH 11-13), textile desizing/scouring, alkaline wastewater neutralization.
Q5: Explosion-proof certified? Usable in hazardous areas?
A: Yes, comprehensive certifications: FM (IS Cl. I, II, III, Div 1, GR ABCDEFG / T6), ATEX/IECEx (Ex ia IIC T6/T5/T4/T3 Ga/Gb), PED, CE. Ex ia is highest intrinsic safety grade, usable in Zone 0 (explosive gas continuously present). Conditions for hazardous area use: ① Must pair with IS transmitter or safety barrier (zener/isolated); ② Cable parameters (length, capacitance, inductance) within barrier allowable range; ③ Use explosion-proof junction boxes, glands, separate IS/non-IS cable routing; ④ Qualified professionals for design/installation/maintenance. Applications: petrochemical, pharmaceutical (organic solvents), paint & coatings, natural gas, alcohol production.
Q6: How to calibrate? How often? Lifetime?
A: Two-point calibration: ① Prepare fresh buffers (acidic/neutral: pH 7.00+4.01; neutral/alkaline: pH 7.00+9.21; high alkali: pH 9.21/10.01); ② Rinse with DI water, gently shake dry (do not wipe glass membrane); ③ Immerse in first buffer (pH 7.00), wait stable (1-2min), confirm zero; ④ Rinse, immerse in second buffer, wait stable, confirm slope; ⑤ Verify with buffer, error should be within ±0.05pH.
Calibration cycle: High precision/critical process (pharma, chemical, high alkali): 2-4 weeks; environmental discharge monitoring: 1-3 months (per regulation); water treatment/general process: 1-3 months; clean medium/low accuracy: 3-6 months. Calibrate immediately if reading drift, slow response, large lab deviation.
Normal range: Slope 95%-103% (new 98%-102%), <90% replace; Zero pH 6.8-7.2, deviation >0.5pH unrecoverable replace.
Lifetime: Room temp neutral clean: 18-24 months; general water/wastewater: 12-18 months; chemical (high temp/strong acid-alkali/organic solvent): 6-12 months; high alkali high temp (pH>12, T>80°C): 3-9 months; harsh media (high suspended/sulfide/frequent CIP): 3-6 months. Replace when: slope <90%, zero deviation >0.5pH, response t90>30s, unstable/drifting, glass membrane cracked, reference poisoned (diaphragm blackened), PT1000 damaged.
Q7: In stock? Lead time? Price?
A: Currently Order Available. InPro4800 series is commonly used standard pH electrode, but specific inventory fluctuates. Lead time: standard 4-8 weeks (professional channel ordering or global stock allocation); some common configurations may be in stock, subject to formal quotation. Price: subject to formal quotation, depends on quantity, channel, calibration certificate/technical service; bulk tiered discounts. Expedited service available for urgent needs (process fault repair, environmental monitoring emergency, project commissioning). Please indicate quantity, industry, medium, temp/pressure, transmitter model, explosion-proof requirements, desired delivery time and destination when inquiring. Combined quotation available for matching transmitters (M300/M400/M700/M800), VP6 cables (VP6-ST/HT), mounting wells, calibration buffers — more favorable pricing.
