Abstract
A unique electrode assembly primarily designed to pass an induced current through a liquid phase by transfer of molecules adsorbed on sub-micron charged particles from cathode to anode to enable conductance determinations on non-polar liquids, for example, hydrocarbon oils that have been altered while in the molecular state to enable a degree of polarity. The novel electrode assembly comprises a cylinder within a cylinder configuration, the outer cylinder containing orifices equalizing area for largest electrode area within smallest liquid volume. A one millimeter gap enables increased more accurate, electrode component signal representations. A magnetic means is provided for nullifying electro-magnetic fields induced in electrode assemblies where the liquid is non-polar containing molecules oriented to conductive polar state by additives such as sub-micron particles and the induced field will cause polar disorientation with lowered conductivity. High gauss permanent magnets are placed so their field is through the electrodes axis and at a ninety degree angle with respect to the electrodes electro-magnetic field, thus maintaining the molecules additive induced polar conductivity.
