Liquid Flow Cells
Type A & B
Specac's Type A & B series flow cells are designed for the optical sampling of industrial process fluids in transmission mode using fiber optics. Combined infrared of UV-visible spectrometry, our flow cells allow for real time monitoring and control of a wide range industrial process.
Flow cells are the ideal choice for installation in plant analyser houses, enclosures or even directly on the plant. Superior optical design, state-of-the-art sealing technology and rugged construction are combined with precision manufacturing to ensure many years of reliable, high performance.
Applications
- Oil refining
- Petrochemicals
- Chemicals
- Pharmaceuticals
- Food
- Pilot plants
Advantages
- Allows process control and monitoring
- Cost savings due to process optimisation
- Allows sampling of hazardous process streams in complete safety
- Reproducible sampling
