Description
The PR 23 KPATENTS series represents the top of quality and reliability in the field of the analysis of the concentration in the liquid phase using a refractometer, thanks to some features such as the absence of moving parts, the traceability of the laboratory standards, the lack of drift due to digital measurement, the variety of solutions for all kinds of process or OEM.
The refractometric measurement system is based on the phenomenon of refraction and is able to generate numerous advantages since, for example, there is no interference generated by the color of the process or by the possible presence of particulate matter and bubbles.
The digital platform PR-23 is provided with a series of standard features, and it is possible to customize the sensor in contact with the process.
The basic version PR-23-A provides:
- Range Refractive index nd = 1.3100 – 1.5400, equivalent to 0-100 Brix
- Accuracy nd ± 0.0002 equal to ± 0.1% by weight
- Digital Measurement via CCD 3648 pixels
- Light Emitting Diode to 589 mm LED of Sodiod wavelength for a rapid comparison with the standard in the literature
- Digital calibration at the factory with certified liquid Cargille on the whole range nd = 1.3100 – 1.5400
- Patent CORE® Optics (US P / N 6,067,151 US): The optical is separated from the sensor electronics
- Integrated Pt 1000 for compensation of non-linear conversion nd -> Brix
- Process connections 3A-Clamp Varivent®, custom flow cell …
- Wetted parts in AISI 316L, Spinel (prism), PTFE (prism seals)
- Process conditions suitable up to 15 barg @ 20° C or 120° C @ 9 barg
- Even two channels ie two sensors managed independently from a transmitter
- Certified versions ATEX IECEx for Zone 2, Zone 1, Zone 0
- Port 10/100 Base Ethernet and JAVA© Software incorporated into the transmitter for viewing and managing through the analyzer corporate LAN, even from remote locations
