iCS Concentration Sensor – Customizable Process Sensor
This in-line process sensor delivers high measuring precision in a compact design. SCHMIDT + HAENSCH’s customizable iCS concentration sensor opens up a new field of process analysis in particularly tight conditions. Thanks to the new design, the actual sensor is the size of a golf ball, resulting in a highly efficient and compact construction.
Features
- Compact and light size, easily fitting for tight conditions
- Simple, flexible, and uncompromising integration into your process
- Technically easy to implement and low-cost integration as well as maintenance
- Longstanding, proven technology is especially effective for monitoring ethylene glycol concentration
Easy to Use
If you are dealing with minimal volumes, space-limited installations or mobile operation, SCHMIDT + HAENSCH has the ultimate solution for you. Designed to be easily integrated into your process controls, the iCS Concentration Sensor can be connected directly to your PLC via Modbus or RS-232 interface. Integrated functions such as temperature measurement, cleanliness control, and filling level detection ensure a self-monitoring system.
Applications
As a true sensor, it can be used in applications that can not be met by conventional refractometers. Its measuring range is specifically programmed to your desired application. Our engineering team will customize your needed application for your concentration sensor. Please note that engineering costs will be required for your customization.
Refractometer Standards
SCHMIDT + HAENSCH instruments meet a wide range of international norms and standards or instruments can be tailored to your specific needs.
