iPR EX – Explosion Protected

ATEX inline Measurements

The explosion protection version of the SCHMIDT + HAENSCH process refractometer consists of an intrinsically safe, single-certified sensor, which can be installed in hazardous areas. It is chemical resistant, food safe, and delivers reliable and hygienic measurements, fully in-line with your production process.

Checkpoints

  • Explosion-protected version of the iPR-B3
  • Suitable for all applications in explosion-proof areas
  • Certified according to European Classification ATEX II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga
  • Permanent in-line real-time measurement of the concentration of dissolved solids

More Information

Easy to Use

The 7” touch screen is individually configurable. The measured data can be output via Ethernet as a 24 V or 4-20 mA signal, or controllable relay.

For data transmission to other systems, serial RS 232, 485 interfaces, a CAN bus or UPC server are available.

Up to two measuring heads can be connected at the same time.

Applications

This fully automatic process sensor is perfectly suited for direct measurement of dissolved solids, process monitoring, and control in hazardous areas. With its explosion protection, it can be employed in the automotive, aviation, petrochemical, and refinery industries.

Conformity: Zone 0 Ex II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga, ATEX 2014/34/EU, EN 60079-0 (2012) + A11 (2013), EN 60079-11 (2012).

Product in depth

The SCHMIDT + HAENSCH critical-angle refractometer with sapphire prism and high-resolution photodiode array operates consistently, independent of medium color or opacity. Stainless steel measuring head is chemical resistant, food safe, hygienic, for process temperatures up to 120 °C (with connected water cooling) and pressures up to 1 MPa. The measuring signals are routed to the non-explosive area via a special cable (maximum length 500 m) and connected to four Zener barriers. The connection to the central control system is realized with a RTU Modbus or serial RS 485 interface. Alternatively, SCHMIDT + HAENSCH offers a control unit which can also be installed outside the hazardous area.
