SWOPP probes can work in the near-infrared (NIR), visible and ultraviolet (UV) spectrum.
These precision-engineered probes allow, via fibre-optic connections, spectrometric or optical inspection to be carried out online during chemical reactions, mixing and processing operations.
The polished sapphire lenses are resistant to abrasion and chemical attack, and the probes can operate at up to 400°C (750°F) and at pressures of up to 700 bars (10,000psi) or optionally greater, so that in-process materials may be monitored for parameters such as degradation, moisture content and additive levels in real time and under live manufacturing conditions.
The geometry may be tailored to suit specific applications, for example, to fit a standard 1/2”-20-UNF dynisco-type transducer port with a 45 degree sealing face, in 1/4” or 1/8” diameter tubes for sealing with swagelok-type fittings, and with right-angled bends, for example to fit the nozzle of an injection moulding machine.
Features overview:
- Sealed, abrasion resistant sapphire window in the probe tip.
- Pressures to 700 bars (10,000 psi) as standard, to 2,000 bars (30,000 psi) available.
- Temperatures to 400°C (750°F).
- Choice of fibres to suit application.
- SMA 905 compatible connectors (others available).
- Bodies manufactured from stainless steel 316L or 17-4PH.
