The model AF16-F is a single channel absorption sensor designed for inline applications. It accurately measures color or color changes and can be used in a variety of industrial processes, from sanitary CIP/SIP applications to high-pressure, high-temperature industrial applications.

The AF16-F uses light in the wavelength range from 385 to 1100 nm at selected wavelengths. A precisely defined, constant light beam penetrates the process medium. The attenuation of the light intensity, caused by absorption and/or scattering by dissolved and undissolved substances in the medium, is detected by a hermetically sealed silicon photo diode.

Optical path lengths (OPL) are available from 1 to 1000 mm for process versatility. The AF16-F is typically installed to determine precise color or color changes in a broad range of applications.

The special optical window is made from a single crystal sapphire. This provides superior resistance to all abrasive and corrosive media. The AF16-F is available with a broad variety of line sizes, process connections and wetted materials and can be adapted easilyto the process. NIST-traceable validation accessories assure absolute measurement confidence. Options for hazardous area classification are also available.
