The Rosemount 402 retractable contacting conductivity sensor can be removed from the process piping without shutting down and draining the line. Maximum retraction pressure is 64 psig (542 kPa abs). The sensor fits through a 1-1/4 inch full-port ball valve. Order the retraction assembly, which includes the ball valve, pipe nipple, packing adapter, and clamp to position the sensor, as an option.
ENDURANCE sensors are contacting conductivity sensors. They are available in cell constants of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, and 10/cm. The choice of cell constant depends on conductivity. High conductivity samples require larger cell constants. Consult the analyzer Product Data Sheet for recommended ranges and accuracy.
Sensors with 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0/cm cell constants have concentric titanium electrodes separated by a PEEK insulator. EPDM O-rings seal the internal parts of the sensor from the process liquid. A platinum RTD in the center electrode measures the solution temperature. Electrolytic conductivity is a strong function of temperature. The temperature measurement is used for correcting the conductivity readings to a reference temperature.
Sensors with 10/cm cell constants have graphite electrodes and an epoxy body. The RTD is enclosed in a titanium capsule protruding from the end of the sensor.
