Atline process refractometer PRB21S

Accurate results for automatic and continuous process control

The Atline process refractometer PRB21S are installed in tanks or boilers using tube connections for the continuous monitoring and control of the concentration of liquids. The sample flows via the bypass into the measurement chamber made of stainless steel. The measurement prism consists of scratch-resistant sapphire and is resistant against solvents and acids.
