The voltage change of a pH sensor at 25°C/ 77°F is around -59 mV for each pH unit. This is also
called the slope of the pH sensor. The slope is temperature dependent and decreases over life
time of the sensor.
To compensate for the temperature dependency of the pH measurement, the temperature of the
medium can be measured and automatically compensated.
