An electrode conductivity sensor fails in a small number of predictable ways. It polarises when the current density is too high, it drifts as the cell constant changes with coating or wear, and its temperature correction is wrong when the sample’s composition is not what the compensation curve assumes. Virtual sensor models — soft sensors…
