| | | The model AS16-BT-N is a high-precision, single channel absorption probe. This stainless steel probe, equipped with a BBI safety port, is designed for use in vessels or inline applications. The AS16-BT-N uses the light in the near infrared range (NIR). A precisely defined, constant light beam penetrates the process medium. The attenuation ofthe light intensity, caused by absorption and/or scattering by dissolved and undissolved substances, is detected by a hermetically-sealed photo diode. The optical filter on the lamp side adapts the wavelength for specific applications and allows color insensitive concentration measurements in the near infrared range. | | The probe is available in six different optical path lengths (OPL), from 1 to 40 mm. The AS16-BT-N is also available with a 100 mm extended insertion depth for largervessels (e.g. fermenters). The seal-less, sapphire window design eliminates crevices and gaps to assure the highest level ofsterility, cleanability and sensor integrity. The probe body demonstrates extreme durability and fulfills the CIP/SIP requirements demanded by ultra-sanitary process environments. NIST-traceable validation accessories are available as option to provide absolute measurement confidence. | | |
