ABSTRACT:
An improved electrode assembly for use in amperometric gas sensors. A portion of the interior of the electrode assembly that is adjacent to the electrode is filled with an electrochemically inert water-repellant fluid. Once the fluid is in place, a fluid barrier is inserted to cover the fluid and to serve as a foundation for the introduction of a sealing compound. A pressure relief structure, such as a gas bubble, may be provided within the fluid to relieve the pressures incident to the thermal expansion and contraction of the electrode assembly. Because of the water repellancy of the fluid, the electrolyte solution which surrounds the electrode assembly is prevented from migrating into the interior thereof and thereby initiating output current errors.
