The AF16-F model - single channel absorption sensor designed for inline applications. Sensor accurately measures color or color changes, it can be used in a variety of any industrial processes, from sanitary CIP/SIP applications to high-temperature and high-pressure industrial applications.
The AF16-F absorption sensor uses the light in the wavelength range from 385 to 1100 nm at selected wavelengths. A precisely defined, constant light beam is sent to the process medium. The attenuation of the light intensity, caused by absorption and/or scattering by substances in the medium, is detected by a hermetically-sealed silicon photo diode.
The change of the light intensity is a function of the concentration of the dissolved and undissolved substances in the process medium. The absorption sensor AF16-F is typically installed to determine precise color or color variations in a broad range of applications and measures parts per million and percentage ranges.
The single crystal sapphire optical window provides superior resistance to all abrasive and corrosive media. The absorption sensor AF16-F is available with a broad variety of line sizes, process connections and wetted materials. NIST-traceable validation accessories assure absolute measurement confidence. Options for hazardous area classification are also available.
