Features / Benefits
- PR23W Refractometer comes with a Saunders (DIAPHRAGM) valve body and can be mounted either in a
vertical or horizontal pipe. - Saunders body material is graphite cast iron, which provides a solid mechanical base.
- PFA-lining ensures the chemical resistance.
- Sensor wetted parts materials are Spinel or Sapphire (prism), PTFE (prism gasket),
PVDF or PTFE (Teflon®). - Sensor cover is stainless steel AISI 316L
- Digital sensing technology, even large amounts of suspended solids, bubbles or Color changes do
not affect the measurement or the curacy.
