Dissolved Solids Measurement
Liquid Solids Control,
headquartered in Upton, MA, USA, is a world leader in the manufacture of process
refractometers for continuous, direct, in-line measurement of total dissolved solids,
concentration, BRIX, and refractive index. Process Refractometers have measurement
applications within the:
- Pulp and Paper Industry
- Food and Beverage manufacture and production
- Chemical Process Industry
- Oil Refining Industry
The importance of on-line measurement in the process industry cannot be understated.
Safety, production and quality all hang in the balance and rely on the speed of response
and accuracy of on-line instrumentation.
Feature

Benefit
|
Refractometer measures using the
critical angle (interface of refractive index) measurement technique
|
Readings unaffected by suspended solids, turbidity, entrained air, viscosity, colour,
transparency, opacity or flow rate
|
Infrared diode provides light source
|
- No light bulb to burn out
- No filament to generate heat
- No light source alignment required
- No detector alignment required
|
No electronics in sensing head
|
Electronics are removed from process areas eliminating potential damage.
Hazardous locations can be handled in a cost effective manner through the
utilization of intrinsic safety barriers, rather than using explosion proof
enclosures
|
No angular cut prism
|
The same prism is utilized for all applications and ranges, reducing cost for "spare" units
|
Extremely hard sapphire prism
|
The prism is unaffected by process fluids, reducing maintenance and replacement costs
|
No cooling water or moving parts
|
Installation, maintenance and operating costs are reduced
|
Automatic washing of the sapphire sensing window
|
Maintenance costs are reduced, while consistency of measurement is maintained
|
Five year warranty
|
In the unlikely event of defects, the unit will, at the discretion of LSC be repaired or replace free of charge for both labour and parts.
|
Process Refractometers manufactured by Liquid Solids Controls offer many
user benefits to enhance productivity, minimize maintenance costs, and
maintain product quality.
