optek - Model AS56-N -Single Channel Turbidity Probe
AS56-N is a probe for direct installation into pipelines and vessels measuring NIR light absorption (Turbidity or Solids Concentration) in various liquid flow streams. Two optical path length choices allow the measurement range to meet the process control requirements.
The AS56-N is a precision absorption probe, which is designed for direct installation into pipelines and provides accurate concentration measurements with remarkable repeatability, linearity and resolution. It is typically used in food and beverage applications to allow cost-effective measurements. The AS56-N uses light from 730-970 nm to measure solids concentration independent from color or color changes (e.g., yeast concentration in beer during tank draining). It’s lowered power design allows for up to four AS56 series sensors to be multiplexed to one C4000 converter / transmitter.
