The inline process refractometer PR21S is installed in pipelines at production facilities in order to control the concentration of mixing and fermentation processes. Thanks to their standardised connections, these measurement devices can be easily mounted in pipelines. The measurement chamber is made of stainless steel, the measurement prism of scratch-resistant and particularly chemical-resistant sapphire. It is designed to prevent solids from sticking. The PR21S is used in the chemical and petrochemical industries, in automotive and aircraft manufacturing as well as in the food, sugar and beverage industries and for waste water monitoring.
