Non-Contacting Conductivity System!
Conductivity measurement in aggressive chemical solutions or in water systems containing large amounts of solids, oils, and greases is very maintenance intensive using conventional 2 or 4 electrode sensors. ATI’s Model Q46CT employs an inductive (toroidal) sensor that allows measurement in corrosive samples with virtually no maintenance.
Toroidal Conductivity Monitoring Systems contain a variety of features and options to meet virtually any conductivity water quality monitoring and control application. While not suitable for low level conductivity measurement, toroidal monitors are an excellent choice for high conductivity applications. The Q46CT is also available as a concentration monitor (see below).
ATI’s Q46 platform represents our latest generation of monitoring and control systems. Control features have been expanded to include an optional 3rd analog output or an additional bank of low power relays. Digital communication options now include Profibus-DP, Modbus-RTU, or Ethernet-IP variations.
TOROIDAL SENSOR
ATI’s Model Q46CT toroidal conductivity system is designed for online monitoring of chemically aggressive process solutions. This sensor consists of two metallic ribbon coils that are fixed in place by the sensor jacket material. The drive coil establishes a strong magnetic field around the sensor body which induces a current in the process solution. The sensing coil is used to measure the induced current in the process solution The magnitude of this current is proportional to the co
