Arc Sensors - Signal Averaging

Certain applications may introduce conditions that create fluctuating or "noisy" measurements. The noisy measurement can make process control challenging. One way to improve signal stability is to adjust the moving average setting using ArcAir software.

FAQ

Does temperature affect conductivity measurement?

Yes, temperature has a direct impact on conductivity. Increasing temperature increases the mobility of ions within a solution and results in higher conductivity measurements. Temperature compensation can be performed using empirically derived temperature coefficients, which may be different for various solutions.

FAQ

Can Hamilton conductivity sensors be used with my existing transmitter?

In most cases, yes! Transmitters specifically designed for either 2-pole, 4-pole conductivity are generally compatible with Hamilton Conducell products. The transmitter temperature sensor input (PT1000) should be checked to ensure it matches the sensor.

FAQ

How much torque is needed to install a sensor with PG13.5 threads?

Sensors with PG13.5 threads rely on the o-ring to seal against process pressure. Finger-tight (approximately 2 Newton Meter or 18 inch-lb) should be sufficient to install the sensor without leakage. Additional tightening beyond this can deform the o-ring or strip the threads.
