Potential versus
SHE

This parameter is available when creating a reference or a combined
electrode with the option From = Other.

Refer to "Create electrode", page 66

.

This parameter enables you to calibrate electrodes with automatic
buffer checking using any kind of reference electrodes (for example
with a mercurous sulphate electrode Hg/Hg2SO4 (Sat. K2SO4)). You
just need to know the potential of the reference electrode versus the
Standard Hydrogen Electrode.

This potential is taken into account in the buffer recognition algorithm
and for pH calculation when no calibration is performed. When you
create a reference or a combined electrode with the option From =
Catalogue, the instrument calculates pH using the potential
versus SHE stored in memory for the reference electrode selected. In
this case, potential versus SHE cannot be changed.
The table below gives the potential at 25°C versus the SHE (E SHE)
of a few "reference elements/filling solution" couples.
