The construction and performance of miniature reference electrode/sensor systems are described. The reference electrode/sensor is made from small-diameter alumina tubing and a sodium-ion-conductive glass membrane. The reference electrode/sensor has been used to measure thermodynamically defined sodium activity for the temperature range of 100/sup 0/-600/sup 0/C in many different electrochemical systems.
