BR-70ST Inline Process Refractometer
BR-70ST
INLINE PROCESS REFRACTOMETER
BR-70ST is a sophisticated in-line process refractometer, designed to measure the liquid concentrations and Brix in various process applications. It determines the concentration of dissolved solids by making an optical measurement of a solution’s refractive index. The BR-70ST measures the refractive index using critical angle phenomenon. The measurement accuracy is not influenced by particles, bubbles, crystals, seeds, color, fibers and temperature changes in the process medium. A special adapter conveniently mounts the BR-70ST onto a process line or vessel.
