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.
