- Industry / Applications
Vaisala K-Patents Process Refractometers are commonly used to determine the concentration of dissolved solids by making an optical measurement of a solution’s refractive index (nD).
Vaisala K-Patents refractometers sensor measures the refractive index nD and the temperature of the process medium. The measurement is based on the refraction of light in the process medium, i.e. the critical angle of refraction using a yellow LED light source with the same avelength (580 nm) as the sodium D line (hence nD.).
The output of the transmitter is a 4 to 20mA DC output signal proportional to process solution concentration, liquid density, Brix or other scale that has been selected for the instrument. Process data can also be downloaded to a computer via an Ethernet cable.
