Process probe GUIDED WAVE™

Our GUIDED WAVE™ Shuttle Process Probe is a unique and convenient process probe for monitoring liquid samples, in-situ. Rugged, reliable, and easy to use, it is ideal for continuous process monitoring applications where it is difficult and/or costly to shut down the line for probe servicing or where side streams or fast loops are not appropriate. The probe is mounted in a standard size process flange for easy installation. Periodic probe cleaning and referencing can be performed without interrupting the process flow. The Shuttle Process Probe matches perfectly to any of our Guided Wave dual-beam spectrometers and is compatible with many other brands as well. Unique Operation Our GUIDED WAVE Shuttle Process Probe consists of two transmission probes connected by a precision-machined threaded coupler that also functions to accurately set a fixed and reproducible pathlength. After coupling, the two transmission probes become a one-piece sensor that is inserted through the heart of a durable process flange. Carefully engineered gland seals prevent process leakage thus facilitating safe operation. The area where the light interacts with the sample, the sample path, can be easily removed from or “shuttled” out of the process by firm but gentle tugs on either end of the probe. By design the forces are balanced resulting in a negligible ejection force on the probe. Thus, the critical cleaning of the optical windows and subsequent probe referencing are possible without having to interrupt the process. Process-Resistant Construction The GUIDED WAVE Shuttle Process Probe is designed to withstand most process conditions.
