Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The 4973 Type cells, Figure 1-1, have a rugged configuration for reliable, continuous measurements of
electrolytic conductivity in industrial water processes at temperatures up to 140°C at 250 psig. They are
applicable to such measurements as the effluent of distillation equipment; anion, cationic and mixed bed
ion exchangers; monitoring and controlling of washing electronic components; plating rinse tank control;
boiler water condensate; boiler hot well measurements and cooling tower blowdown, and many others.
Made of polyethersulfone (PES) construction for high-corrosion resistance, the cells are supplied with 0.01
and 0.1 cell constants having titanium electrodes, and 1.0 and 10.0 cell constants with high-density,
graphite electrodes.
The 4973 Cells used with UDA2182 Series or APT2000/4000 Series are equipped with the choice of:
•
•
•
integral standard 20 or 50 foot lead
quick disconnect cable option
junction box type (universal) head with terminal connections for longer lead lengths.
For in-line applications, the 3/4” NPT male thread permits permanent installation in a pipe or tank; the cell
may also be used as a laboratory dip-type cell for batch sampling.
For flow applications, the cell can be installed directly into a process stream as shown in Figure 1-2 by
using a Flow Chamber or a 3/4” pipe tee as shown in Figure 1-3. These arrangements are designed to keep
both the temperature compensator and cell in the main stream flow so that the cell will respond more
quickly and accurately to process changes of both solution concentration and temperature.
A 316SS (P/N 31079198) and a PES (P/N 055919) Flow Chamber is available from Honeywell.
1.2 Description
All conductivity cells of the 4973 Type are suitable for use in both flow and insertion - type installations.
They are one-piece molded units that cannot come apart and therefore have no replacement parts. Each has
a 3/4” NPT thread.
The physical appearance of the cells is shown in Figure 1-1. The 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 cell constants are
similar in construction with differences as noted below.
0.01 and 0.1 Cell Constants
The 0.01 cell differs from the others only by its outer electrode length of 2-3/4”. The temperature
compensation sensor is located inside the inner electrode. The holes in the outer electrode provide passage
for the solution being measured. The 0.1 cell is similar to the 0.01 type except that its outer electrode
length is 2”. The temperature compensation sensor is located inside the inner electrode.
1 and 10 Cell Constants
The 1 and 10 cell constant types are similar but differ in the width of flow channel (that serves to conduct
the solution being measured past the electrodes of the cell) as well as size and spacing of the electrodes.
The electrodes are graphite, 1/4” D for the 1 cell constant and 1/8” D for the 10 cell constant. The
temperature compensating sensor is integral with the cell body.

Installation
3. Installation
3.1 General Requirements
Observe the following before installing a conductivity cell. Specific requirements for particular types of
installation are given in Sections 3.3 and 3.4.
•
•
Do not remove the Teflon sheath on 1or 10 constant cells, as this will change the cell constant value.
Do not use the cell in solutions which can affect the fittings or the cell materials. If in doubt, contact
Honeywell.
•
Avoid all chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Titanium and PES (0.01 and 0.1 cell constants) and Graphite, Teflon and PES (1.0 and 10 cell
constants) are the only cell materials in contact with measured solutions. These materials are inert to
corrosive chemicals such as mineral acids, oxidizing agents and caustic solutions.
•
•
Avoid trapped air; see that air is not trapped in the cell flow channels.
Do not use the cell in solutions having temperatures or pressures greater than the maximum limits
stated in the Specifications.
•
•
Avoid locations where the operator must take an awkward position to install or remove the cell.
When tightening, do not exceed the torque limits provided in Section 3.5. Over-tightening can break
the cell or severely stress it causing cracks to develop, leading to eventual malfunction.
3.2 The Differences between the Quick Disconnect and Integral Cable
Option
The cable options of quick disconnect and integral cable do not affect the performance of the cell. These
options only relate to how the cell is connected to the instrument.
ATTENTION
•
•
The electrical connections are different for these options. Please refer to Section 4 for instructions.
The wire colors for the integral cable and quick disconnect option are not the same.
•
•
Integral cable means the cable is potted into the cell. The cable and cell are one entity and cannot be
separated.
The quick disconnect option means the cell is connected to the cell by a receptacle on the top of the
cell. The cell and the cable are separate entities. When the time comes to replace the cell, the cable
does not have to be replaced. The cable can simply be mated with another cell that has the quick
disconnect option. This option can not be used in immersion applications.
ATTENTION
The quick disconnect cable can be purchased from Honeywell.

Installation
3.3 In-Line Type Mounting
In addition to the General Requirements outlined above, note the following with regard to insertion-type
mounting:
•
•
•
•
Make certain the liquid head is above the cell location during measurement. A vertical insertion (from
above) or a horizontal insertion can be used.
Allow at least one-half inch clearance beyond the end of the cell and 1/8 to 3/16 inch radius clearance
to permit circulation of the solution.
It is usually best to have the solution flow up into the end of the cell since it is less likely to result in
clogging by solids settling in the cell channels.
To be sure that a representative sample is being measured at all times, the solution must continuously
move through the cell channels. In a rapidly moving solution, the assembly may be mounted so that
the existing circulation forces the solution through the channels. When measurements are made in
quiescent solutions, artificial means must be provided to force the solution through the cell. In some
cases, this may be accomplished by moving the cell up and down.
Installation
Tighten the cell into a 3/4” NPT threaded opening (do not exceed a tightening torque greater than that
indicated in Section 3.5) using a Teflon thread compound (preferably Teflon tape).
3.4 Flow-Type Mounting
In addition to the General Requirements outlined in Section 3.1, note the following with regard to flow-
type mounting:
•
When mounting the cell in a pipe tee or flow chamber such as shown in Figure 1-3, have the solution
enter the tee from below and exit to the side or from side and exit top. Be sure the electrodes are
always as far as possible below the horizontal pipe run so that they are always covered to insure
flooding of the cell under all conditions; otherwise, the conductivity reading may indicate a value that
is lower than expected.
•
In general, the cell should be mounted so that the sample will flow through the channel toward the
mounting end of the cell, exiting through the other channel hole or through the outer electrode holes.
See Figure 1-1.
•
•
Locate the cell on the pressure side, not the vacuum side, of pumps. See Figure 1-2.
Avoid a horizontal cell mounting having the flow channel, see Figure 1-1, opposite to the flow exit of
the pipe line, especially for the 1 and 10 constant cells. If necessary, refer to Section 5.5.
•
The 3/4” tee arrangement, Figure 1-3, assures that the cell is immersed well into the flow stream to
obtain a representative sample. The tee is not supplied.
Installation
1. Tighten the cell into a 3/4” pipe tee (do not exceed a tightening torque greater than that indicated in
Section 3.5).
2. If the flow-cell housing is used, assemble the cell and housing and install it in the process flow line or
in a bypass line as indicated in Figure 1-2.
3. To avoid cracking the 055919 flow chamber, use Teflon tape on cell threads and tighten cell only
enough to prevent leakage.

Maintenance
5. Maintenance
5.1 Overview
The only maintenance that may be required is occasional cleaning. When cleaning, avoid scratching
electrode surfaces. Do not use a brush or pipe cleaner.
5.2 To Clean the Cell
The cell will require cleaning if sludge, slime, etc., accumulate in the flow channels. Since the materials of
construction are chemically inert, chemical agents may be used and are recommended for cleaning the
cells. The particular cleaning agent used must be selected according to the type of contamination to which
the cell is exposed.
The cell housing is made of a polyethersulfone, PES, and must not be cleaned with acetone, chloroform,
toluene, benzene, or other chlorinated hydrocarbons.
In general, a “quick” rinse in a 10% inorganic acid is effective and often adequate. Another method is to
use a strong stream of water to dislodge particles; then reverse flush. After cleaning, rinse the cell
thoroughly in tap water and then distilled water, if available. Take care not to scratch electrode surfaces.
5.3 Check Conductivity System
To check the conductivity system comprising the conductivity cell, leadwires, and measuring instrument,
make a measurement in a reference solution of known conductivity. Alternatively, use a second cell
having the same constant and temperature compensation and compare the two readings. Be sure the cells
are not touching the bottom or sides of the container for this test.
If Table II of the conductivity cell model number is 333, the normal resistance of the temperature sensor as
measured across the red (B) and green (D) leads is 8550 ohms at 25 C.
To check the electrode insulation, connect an ohmmeter across the black (A) and white (C) leads. With a
dry and clean cell, the resistance should be greater than 50 megaohms.
5.4 Troubleshooting
A series of below normal conductivity readings could indicate that the cell is not filled with solution
resulting in a lack of response.
If the plastic surface of the cell has a grayish dull appearance instead of its normal glassy appearance, the
cell has been exposed to temperature above its specified maximum. Check the solution temperature and

•
•
•
Increase flow to at least 1 gpm.
Rotate the cell mounting so that its flow channel faces the same direction as the pipeline flow exit.
