The AF16-N is a high precision turbidity sensor. It measures the attenuation of light through the process fluid. The AF16-N sensor is specially designed for inline installation and is non-invasive.
Its modular structure offers maximum flexibility for direct connection to the production line, without influencing the measurement accuracy. The fluid is crossed by a focused and constant light beam. This measurement of the intensity of the light transmitted in relation to the light emitted allows the monitoring of variations in turbidity inline and during production.
By adjusting the optical path, it can detect concentrations in the order of ppm but also in %. The Model AF16-N sensor uses near infrared (NIR) light from 730 to 970 nm, which makes the measurement independent of color changes in the process medium.
Typical applications: Turbidity control, Control of settling, Filter control, Phase separation, Control of the concentration of yeast, biomass. Also available in ATEX version.
