SONATEC by Centec GmbH        Made in Germany

 instruments for the continuous and accurate in-line measurement sound velocity through liquids. In many fully dissolved solutions the speed of sound increases in proportion to the concentration.

Applications: Accurate concentration analysis of numerous liquids by measuring the velocity of sound through the fluid. This is used to quickly and continuously monitor small changes in the characteristics, relates to the concentration in many fully dissolved solutions. Applications include dissolver monitoring, evaporation control,  crystallisation detection, final product inspection, interface detection, contaminant warning, policing of tanker filling/discharging and batch/trend record keeping.

Install: Sensors are available as In-Line instruments or Tank-mount on the top, side or bottom of a vessel. They includes ample analogue & digital I-O connections for process control and alarms

Operating principle:  Measures the speed of sound through the fluid.

Benefits: Very accurate, Reliable, Long operating life, CIP Cleanable, Virtually no maintenance, Numerous material options to suit almost any liquid.
