The PRB21S (bypass) is connected to the process using hoses. In this way it is possible, either by pumping or hydrostatic pressure, to guide the sample as a partial flow of the main process (bypass) through the measuring cell and to measure it without interruption. The PRB21S model is used in the chemical, petrochemical, automotive, aircraft manufacturing, food, sugar and beverage industries, as in wastewater control.
Basic functions
Measurement in refractive index, %Brix or a user-definable scale
