The advantage of the electrode type lies in its price, but its "polarization" defect is too obvious. When current passes through the electrode, oxidation or reduction reactions occur, thereby changing the composition of the solution near the electrode and causing "polarization" phenomenon, resulting in crystallization and scaling on the surface of the electrode. If not cleaned in time, it will cause serious errors in conductivity measurement, even damage, and the service life is unsatisfactory. Even if high-frequency alternating current measurement method is used, it is only to alleviate the above polarization phenomenon. In order to maintain measurement accuracy, it is necessary to clean and calibrate it regularly in a timely manner. Every time the sensor is cleaned or replaced, it must be stopped and cut off, which affects efficiency. Therefore, most foreign equipment uses non-polar sensors.

The measurement principle of the non-polar sensor adopts a pair of wire wound alloy ring coils, and the probe of the sensor is isolated from the measured process solution (non-contact). Two coils, one as a transmitter and the other as a receiver. When the transmitter coil is energized, the electrolyte solution conducts electricity and generates induced current, which is proportional to the conductivity of the solution. The receiver coil detects the magnitude of this current to determine the conductivity value of the solution. The conductivity probe is customized with two wire wound alloy circular coils in a corrosion-resistant circular mold. Because the probe of the sensor is isolated (non-contact) from the measured process (liquid), there is no need for frequent maintenance and upkeep. Compared to the traditional electrode based conductivity measurement process, it fundamentally avoids ion deposition and coverage on the electrode surface, and issues such as polarization, oil contamination, or pollution will not affect the performance of non-polar sensors. The service life can last up to 10 years.
