Today's chemical producers and consumers are under tremendous pressure to cut costs, lower maintenance expenses, and improve product quality. In order to meet these demanding objectives, process engineers and operators need analytically capable and reliable process analyzers which require minimal maintenance and operator intervention. The analyzers also need to be easy to use and capable of communicating in a wide variety of ways. It is also a benefit if the

analyzer is durable enough to be installed in outdoor, wash-down, hazardous, and other environmentally harsh locations.

AMETEK's Western Research® IPS-4 is a huge step forward in capability and reliability for process spectrophotometers. Using the most modern electronics and diode array technology, the IPS-4 is engineered to perform a wide variety of liquid and gas analyses using UV-VIS spectroscopy.

The IPS-4 is capable of detecting, quantifying, and compensating for multiple chemicals of interest and interfering species. Up to eight analytes of interest can be measured simultaneously through the combination of a modern, diode array-based optical system with our proprietary process-ready electronics.

This combination offers many advantages such as no moving parts, a high signal-to-noise ratio, minimized stray light effects, fast and full spectral acquisition, and wide dynamic range. These traits help to make the IPS-4 a highly capable process analyzer.

The IPS-4's optical system is designed to increase reliability and dramatically reduce the need for routine maintenance, thereby drastically cutting its cost of ownership. The lamp used in the optical system is a xenon flash lamp which has a greater than two year expected life. Use of the diode array and fixed optical bench means
