Conductance bridge

Electrically conductive mbber (13) can be achieved by incorporation of conductive fillers, eg, use of carbon or metal powders. These mbbers exhibit volume resistivities as low as lO " H-cm. Apphcations include use in dissipation of static charge and in conductive bridging between dissimilar electronic materials under harsh operating conditions. 

Exhaustion The state in which the adsorbent is no longer capable of useful ion exchange the depletion of the exchanger s supply of available ions. The exhaustion point is determined arbitrarily in terms of (1) a value in parts per million of ions in the effluent solution and (2) the reduction in quality of the effluent water determined by a conductivity bridge which measures the resistance of the water to the flow of an electric current.

The electrodes consist of platinum discs, slightly platinized and mounted in glass tubes which are placed in the glass vessels. The types of Wheatstone bridge commercially available for conductometry and known as conductivity bridges can be used in either the resistance mode or the conductance mode the choice between these modes depends on the character of the solution under investigation and on the performance of the conductance cell.

In general, the apparatus for titrimetric analysis is simple in construction and operation. A typical analysis procedure would involve measurement of the amount of sample either by mass or volume, and then addition of the titrant from a burette or micro-syringe. Apart from visual indication, the course of a titration may be followed by electrochemical or photometric means in neither is the equipment required complex. A simple valve voltmeter or conductivity bridge will suffice on the one hand, and a simple spectrophotometer or filter photometer with minor modifications on the other. Varying degrees of automation may be incorporated.

Operation of cells at higher temperatures such as 80°C, as in membrane fuel cells, is not encouraged here because of the corrosion instability of the hardware, manufactured from titanium or titanium alloy. Even without such constraints, however, this high temperature would be unwelcome as the water produced is present as steam - without the conductive bridge of the liquid phase it would be necessary to bond the catalytic particles to the membrane with all the associated problems of technology and cost. 

Electrical Resistance and Percent Llgnt Transmittance. Low frequency electrical resistance measurements were made on a conductivity bridge (Model RC-18, Industrial Instrument, Cedar Grove, N.J.) at a line frequency of 1 KC. Beckman conductivity cell with cell constant 1.0 cm was used. The percent transmission was also monitored for each of the mixtures at 490 nm (Spectronlc 20, Bausch Lomb Co., Rochester, N.Y.). 

The checkers measured these resistances with a Serfass Conductivity Bridge, Model ROM 15, employing a 1000-Hz. alternating current.

Apparatus. All electrical resistances were measured with an electrolytic conductivity bridge (Leeds and Northrup model 4666) which was constructed according to specifications set forth by Jones (28) and described by Dike (29). The audio-frequency source was a General Radio Co. type 1311-A audio oscillator used with the frequency regulated at 1000 Hz and the output at about 5 V. The detector circuit consisted of a high-gain low-noise tuned amplifier and null detector (General Radio Co. type 1232-A) and an oscilloscope (Heathkit model O-ll) ... 

While most laboratory conductivity bridges are manually balanced, the Wheatstone bridge circuit also finds use in a variety of conductivity monitors, controllers, and recorders where it is mechanically rebalanced by a servomechanism operated by the detector. Generally in these devices, advantage is taken of the phase shift, which occurs in the detected signal as the bridge is driven through balance by the servo motor. 

Conductivity yes yes liquids Tank wall can be used as one electrode if metallic. Liquid must be electrically conductive. Electrodes form part of a conductivity bridge network. 

In systems in which the donor and acceptor centers are in direct contact with each other or connected by a conducting bridge (conjugated bonds), electron transfer rates are very fast (kET = 10"13 -10 12 s 1). The transition occurs markedly slower when the donor-acceptor mutual orientation is not favorable for positive orbital overlap and, therefore, the electron coupling V is small.
