Our GUIDED WAVE™ High Safety Flow Cell (HSFC) was engineered for applications involving extremely hazardous materials. When processes involve extremely toxic or hazardous materials such as hydrofluoric acid, phosgene, isocyanates, etc., safety is paramount. Uncontrolled or undetected leaks cannot be tolerated. Our GUIDED WAVE High Safety Flow Cell (HSFC) was designed with leak prevention and early detection in mind. Built into a Class 300 flange, using welded construction, the HSFC uses double O-ring sealed sapphire windows. A weep or “tattletale” port connects to the space between the O-rings and when coupled to a sensor, can indicate O-rings in need of replacement. The GUIDED WAVE High Safety Flow Cell (HSFC) is available in a variety of alloys and O-ring materials selected to be compatible with your process.
High Safety Process Flow Cell Features
Suitable for extremely hazardous sample streams
Built into a ½” class 300 flange
Patented Double O-ring sealed design
Safety sniffer port provided between O-ring seals. This allows connection to a leak detection system to be used as an indicator of primary seal failure
Compatible with all Guided Wave analyzers and many other analyzer brands
Safety Features of the Flow Cell
As a patented (US Pat #5,452,082) safety feature, each sapphire window is double O-ring sealed. A passage from between the O-rings is brought to a common port terminated in a ½” Class 300 flange. It is highly recommended that a sensor sensitive to the process material be attached to this port with its alarm set at an appropriate level.
