The two standard tips available on the 6" and 8" reference electrodes are the:

• "A" Flat Tip
  • The "A" flat tip may be more versatile as the flat surface can be useful on a variety of electrolytes, such as soils, liquids and concrete.
• "B" Pointed Tip
  • The "B" pointed tip has a cone shape, which can be easily buried in soils to ensure good contact with the electrolyte.

While the body of the half cell is printed with the tip type, all parts are interchangeable and an "A" or "B" tip can be put on any of the Models 6 and 8 reference electrodes. 

Both the flat and pointed tips are made to maximize the total surface area of the tip to ensure good contact area with the electrolyte. Mainly a user preference, there is no performance difference between the two types of tip.
