Applications
The measurement of moisture is the most popular application of our customers.
Our NIR photometers are able to measure the water content of most materials!
- Water (moisture) in brake fluid for automotive industry
- Water (moisture) in polyvinyl butyral (PVB) for safety glass
- water in ethylene glycol, NMP, methanol, acetone, fertilizer, fat, acetone …
- Water in wood chips, car paint, aluminium, ceramic materials…
- Water in Salt, sand, Chocolate, milk, sugar, potato crisps, caffeine…
- …
We configure each photometer specifically for its measurement task in your process analysis.
Our transmission photometers provide process technology to measure the concentration of a certain component of a liquid or a gas in real-time, online, and without contact.
One example is to monitor the moisture of a manufactured liquid chemical. In the case of excess moisture, a warning is issued to the main control board.
- ethylene oxide, mercury, methanol, DMAC, Heavy water, phenol... in water
- Chlorine in Air/Gas, phosgene…
It is equally possible to detect production or process malfunctions if this results in the occurrence of a substance at a location where it is not usually encountered. One example is heavy water in the secondary cooling circuit of a nuclear power plant, which indicates a leakage of the primary circuit.
