The new membrane design is modeled after our successful 25 mm membrane cartridge. It has an expandable inner Silicone bladder that holds the electrolyte within a 316L stainless steel cage. During SIP processes or during autoclaving the electrolyte turns to steam, but does not distend the measurement membrane because the internal bladder expands first, taking the pressure off the sensitive measurement area. This allows us to have a maximum of electrolyte present, with minimum risk of damage to the sensor. The new membrane cartridge design is easy to use and durable enough to be used many times over if necessary.
