| Liner | Notes | Temp Limits | Type and Line Sizes | ||
 | PFA | BEST FLUOROPOLYMER Excellent resistance to chemicals and abrasion. Suitable for any application. | -20 to 350°F (-29 to 177°C | Flange 15 - 350 mm 0.5 - 14 inch | Wafer 4 - 8 mm 0.15 - 0.3 inch |
 | PTFE | BETTER FLUOROPOLYMER More cost effective than PFA. Excellent chemical resistance, but less abrasion resistance than PFA. | -20 to 350°F (-29 to 177°C | Flanged 15 - 900 mm 0.5 - 36 inch | Wafer 15 - 200 mm 0.5 - 8 inch |
 | ETFE | GOOD FLUOROPOLYMER Similar chemical and abrasion resistance to PTFE, but a lower maxium temperature an more expensive. | -20 to 300°F (-29 to 149°C) | Flanged 15 - 400 mm 0.5 - 16 inch | Wafer 15 - 200 mm 0.5 - 8 inch |
 | Polyurethane | Typically applied to clean water (no chemicals). Abrasion resistant to slurries with small particles. | 0 to 140°F (-18 to 60°C) | Flanged 15 - 900 mm 0.5 - 36 inch | |
 | Neoprene | Typically applied to water and sea water. Abrasion resistant to slurries with small particles. | 0 to 185°F (-18 to 85°C) | Flanged 80 - 1800 mm* 1.5 - 72 inch | |
 | Linatex | Typically applied to mining slurries, abrasion resistant to larger debris. | 0 to 158°F (-18 to 70°C) | Flanged 80 - 900 mm 1.5 - 36 inch | |
| Electrode Type | Application Notes | |
 | Button | Standard electrode design. Use for most applications, especially where abrasion is a concern. Has fair resistance to coating which can be improved by properly sizing sensor. |
 | Bullet-nose | Use where coating is a concern and no solids are present. Bullet-nose electrode should not be used in abrasive or slurry applications as the particles will result in increased process noise on the electrodes. |
| Electrode Material | Application Notes | |
| 316L SST | Standard electrode material. Compatible with most low concentration water based applications. Avoid using stainless in higher concentration acid applications. | |
| Nickel Alloy 276 | Use in medium to high concentration acids where SST is not acceptable. Use in applications with high chloride concentrations, such as sea water. | |
| Platinum (80% Platinum, 20% Iridium) | Ideal for liquor applications found in pulp and paper industry. Also ideal as a spare electrode option to cover nearly every application in a plant. Compatible with nearly every process fluid. | |
| Tantalum | Ideal for high concentration acid flows such as hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. | |
| Titanium | Ideal for high concentration caustic (base) applications such as sodium and potassium hydroxides. | |
