English term or phrase: electrode wick
In a table listing different kinds of pH electrodes (for multi-parameter meters) and their properties, one column is titled 'Junction'. Some electrodes have 'Ceramic' here, some have 'Glass fiber' or 'Posi-pHlo(TM)', and some have 'Wick'. What's this?
I'm none too sure which broad/specific field to choose either...
Thanks!

Docht
Explanation:
if you enter Elektrode and Docht with Google you find quite a few hits, so it seems appropriate in that context. As far as I can tell, it is used to transmit the current.

agree  Herbert2: http://library.abb.com/GLOBAL/SCOT/SCOT203.nsf/VerityDisplay...$File/IM_8231-D_7.Durch das Porensystem des Dochts wird eine Elektrolytverbindung z.B. zwischen zwei Elektrolyten erreicht, ohne dass diese frei vermischt werden

neutral  Sandy A Pirie: Ich habe mich gestern schon beinahe stundenlang mit dem Begriff beschaeftigt - versucht man Docht in anderen Zusammenhaengen (und hier geht es um eine 'junction' ) laeuft man ins Nichts.
