Arc Intelligence Inside

  • This sensor integrates Arc technology directly, embedding valuable functionalities within the unit itself
  • Customers benefit from onboard storage of crucial calibration data, eliminating the need for external records and simplifying maintenance procedures
  • The Arc technology also enables predictive diagnostics, allowing users to anticipate potential issues and proactively ensure reliable performance
  • Furthermore, it supports automated documentation and the assignment of user and process information directly to the sensor, enhancing traceability and data management

  • Hamilton offers a unique solution for our needs, with a focus on process robustness and sample safety.

    Every step of the protocol is monitored and traced, from the initial setup carried out by the operator prior to start, to sample identification during the whole run. This gives us complete confidence in our results and the sample integrity.

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.

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

Does the cell constant of my conductivity sensor change over time?

The cell constant of a conductivity sensor may change over time due to corrosion of the electrodes from an aggressive media, or due to fouling of the electrodes. Calibration adjusts the cell constant and can help offset these effects to a certain extent.
