Part # Description Notes
27 Combination pH/ORP SENSOR for use in profiling mode only - 1200 m depth capability. Includes plastic soaker bottle, KCl soaker solution, and complete documentation. Replaceable pH probe is permanently sealed & is supplied with soaker bottle attachment that prevents reference electrode from drying out during storage. Soaker solution is pH 4 buffer solution saturated with KCL.

SBE 27 can be ordered in two ways:

  • By itself; consult Sea-Bird to order interface cable or mount kit separately, if needed.
  • As an option in SBE 9plus, 19plus V2, or 25 Auxiliary Sensor Options listing, complete with sensor, CTD interface cable, & mount kit.

Sea-Bird does not recommend use of pH or pH/ORP sensor for moored applications; see Application Note 76: pH or pH/ORP Sensors and Moored Applications.

SBE 27 Wet-Pluggable Connector Option
27-1 Wet-pluggable (MCBH) connector instead of Standard (XSG) connector  
(Note: SBE 27 uses 6-pin AG-306 or MCBH-6 connector; photos are for illustration of differences between standard & wet-pluggable connectors).
Wet-pluggable connectors may be mated in wet conditions. Their pins do not need to be dried before mating. By design, water on connector pins is forced out as connector is mated. However, they must not be mated or un-mated while submerged. Wet-pluggable connectors have a non-conducting guide pin to assist pin alignment
(exception: 6-pin connectors) & require less force to mate, making them easier to mate reliably under dark or cold conditions, compared to our standard (Impulse XSG/RMG) connectors. Like standard connectors, wet-pluggables need proper lubrication & require care during use to avoid trapping water in sockets.
SBE 27 Probe Configuration Option
27-2 Right angle probe configuration (for horizontal mounting) SBE 27 must always be mounted with pH probe in a vertical orientation. Right angle probe configuration is typically required for applications where CTD is mounted horizontally (for example, in extension stand below SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler) & SBE 27 is mounted to CTD.
SBE 27 Spares & Accessories
30459 Plastic soaker bottle for pH probe Soaker bottle filled with soaker solution comes standard with SBE 27; this is spare.
50020 pH sensor O-ring kit Spares kit includes 1 each of:
  • 231004 Backup ring for LS021 L-seal (end cap to housing seal)
  • 30072 O-ring, Parker 2-017 N674-70 (standard XSG connector seal)
  • 30097 O-ring, Parker 2-111 N674-70 (sensor to end cap seal)
  • 30806 L-seal, LS021 (end cap to housing seal)
24023 pH electrode Electrode & electrode guard come standard with SBE 27; these are spares.
23190C pH electrode guard
25001 KCl soaker solution, 500 ml bottle Soaker solution is pH 4 buffer solution saturated with KCL. When SBE 27 is not in use, place plastic soaker bottle over pH electrode to prevent loss of internal electrolyte & resulting change in sensor performance. Soaker bottle filled with soaker solution comes standard with SBE 27; this is spare solution.
23041 Zinc anode ring Anode comes standard with SBE 27; this is spare.
