Description

Description

ATI’s Model Q46CT Toroidal conductivity monitor 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 proportional to the conductivity of the process solution.

Conductivity measurement in aggressive chemical solutions or in water systems containing large amounts of solids, oil, and greases is very maintenance intensive using conventional 2 or 4 electrode sensors. ATI’s Model Q46CT Toroidal Conductivity Monitor 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 monitoring and control application. While not suitable for low level conductivity measurement, toroidal monitors are and excellent choice for high conductivity applications. ATI’s Q46 platform represents the 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.

The toroidal sensor is available in Noryl to ensure sensor wetted materials are chemically resistant to both strong acids and strong bases. Sensor material is also non-conductive, thereby isolating the sensor from electrical noise and ground loops that can influence the integrity of the measurement. This material also makes the sensor resistant to electrode coating, as most substances do not adhere to the sensor material.

Sensors can be submersion-mounted using the ¾” NPT pipe thread at the back of the sensor for easy installation in open tanks. The sensor may also be pipe-mounted using the special 2″ CPVC tee fitting which has an alignment key to automatically orient the sensor to the sample flow.

A Pt1000 RTD in the sensor body provides temperature input for both display and automatic temperature compensation of the conductivity measurement.

Conductivity monitors can be used to monitor and display concentration or acids or bases used in various chemical process applications. The Q46CT is available with pre-loaded tables allowing direct display of concentration for solutions or sodium chloride (NaCl), hydrochloric acid (HCl), potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

In addition to these standard tables, the user may enter their own table data for other chemicals or may edit the standard tables supplied by ATI. Custom tables require data on both concentration vs conductivity and temperature vs conductivity for the chemical of interest.
