High-performance refractometer
The robust ATR P critical angle refractometer is especially designed for applications in the sugar industry and for the determination of mixing ratios or mass fraction. The system consists of the robust and waterproof ATR P measuring head made from stainless steel and the VariControl unit with a high resolution 7″ TFT Touchscreen.
- Rugged measuring head (IP65)
- Single or flow through measurements
- For permanent use in production laboratories
- Combination with polarimeter (Purity Analyser)
The critical angle refractometer ATR-P is especially designed for applications in the sugar industry. Complete system consists of the ATR-P measuring head and the “L-Controller” electronic unit. As an alternative to the “L-Controller” electronic unit, the ATR-P measuring head can be connected to a PC or laptop. In the minimal version configuration and calibration are performed using a supplied free software. Much more comfortable version is the PC software “Aquisys Basic”.
