Process Refractometer
It determines the Refractive Index (R.I.) of the process solution by measuring the critical angle of refraction, which changes the concentration. The critical angle of refraction is measured by a digital CCD-camera in a rugged steel probe. The probe is designed for demanding process conditions, high temperatures (max. 150°C), pressure (max. 25 bar) and vibration. Due to the true digital measuring principle the calibration will not change with time; once the sensor is calibrated to desired range, there is no need for recalibration.
All relevant information like concentration percentage, process temperature and diagnostics messages can be seen at a glance on the Indicating Transmitter display. The output signals are 4-20 mA proportional to the process concentration. In addition, a serial output signal (RS 485 or RS 232) is available as standard.
