Toroidal/Inductive Conductivity Sensor ISC40

Accuracy in Fouling, Coating, and Corrosion 

The ISC40 has an accuracy of 0.5% of reading plus 0.5 µS/cm for any conductivity value (whether measured in rinse water or in concentrated acids).

The sensors have a large bore for optimal resistance to fouling processes, providing long term stability, and with proper installation, the flow will keep the sensor clean, preventing measuring errors.

Long Life Under Harsh Industrial Conditions

Constructed with erosion and abrasion-resistant PEEK (Poly Ether Ether Ketone), the ISC40 has excellent chemical resistance in all solutions with the exceptions of fluoric acid or oxidizing concentrated acids. For stronger chemical resistance, PFA (Teflon) material is available for applications in hydrofluoric acid and oxidizing concentrated acids (e.g. nitric, sulfuric, oleum). 

Rugged Design and Installation Flexibility

The ISC40 sensor has a rugged stainless steel mounting thread and nut and gasket combination for ultimate flexibility in installation using a bulkhead installation technique. A wide range of holders and options are also available for reliable in-line or off-line installation, and double O-ring seals provide the sensor with long service life. 

Additional models are available for use in ball-valve insertion applications and in sanitary flange installations.

Percent Concentration

There are numerous industrial applications where measurements and/or control of a specific chemical strength of the process is critical for optimizing the production of the end product. These specific concentrations are obtained by mixing a full strength solution with water to achieve the desired percent concentration. Conductivity measurement is a reliable indicator of the concentration of most acid or base solutions.

Brine Manufacturing

Brine is often used within industrial processes such as food and beverage, refineries, textile dyeing house, and chemical plants as well as in municipalities or for commercial use as a final product applied to pavement roadways or commercial parking lots as an anti-icing or de-icing agent.

Conductivity measurement can be used as a reliable indicator of the real-time brine concentration. Utilizing online process analyzers removes the need for timely grab sample analysis. Yokogawa’s inductive conductivity analyzers help you achieve increased efficiency and reduced operating costs while realizing reliable brine concentration measurements.

Measuring Electric Conductivity with Clean-in-Place (CIP) System

In the Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Food & Beverage industries, after manufacturing products, the cleaning and sterilization of tanks and piping are done with various cleaning solutions, fresh or hot water and steam. Clean-in-Place (CIP) is a system designed for automatic cleaning and disinfecting.

Yokogawa’s inductive conductivity liquid process analyzer takes measurements with good boundary surface precision over a wide range, earning it a reputation in the recovery of cleaning, which contributes significantly to reduce chemical and wastewater processing costs.

Depending on the region there are different versions of the holders available.

ISC40FF/ISC40FS/ISC40FD Holders 

This program includes flow fittings and their subassemblies for in-line or direct mounting of conductivity sensors in piping systems. A wide choice of construction materials gives the user the best solution for any process considering chemical resistance, pressure and temperature specifications.

• Wide choice of construction materials.
• High degree of standardization to all cells.
• Easy mounting, service and removal or replacement of sensors.
• Electrolitically polished stainless steel designs for optimal corrosion resistance.
• Available with flange adapters.

Model PR10 Retractable "Hot-Tap" Holder

On-line measurements often present extra challenges, especially when routine maintenance is required. The PR10 is ideally suitable for applications where the sensors must be removed without interrupting or shutting down the process. Without any special tools the PR10 can be retracted safely from the process at pressures up to 5 bar (72 psi). The PR10 is a universal retractable assembly that can be used for all liquid measurements. The PR10 is designed to accept any commercially available pH/ORP or dissolved oxygen sensor that has a PG13.5 connection while still being backward compatible with old Yokogawa electrodes.

For ease of use optional flush ports are available. In the retracted position the sensor can be kept moist, cleaned or even calibrated. This can all be done without process interruption or disassembly of the armature.

•  One model for pH/ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and inductive conductivity sensors
• All commercially available pH electrodes, such as PG13.5, SMART sensors, Vario Pin, YEF and DIN connectors can be installed in the PR10.
• Integrated protection cage
• A "scraper" is built-in to each assembly to effectively scrape or wipe off the
  process from the PR10's shaft as it is being retracted from the process.
• A safe "through the valve" insertion and retraction design
• Simplified installation by optional ball valves with flanged or tapered connections
• Optional flush port accessories make it easy to keep sensors moist (pH) and clean, and also provides access for calibration if desired.

Calibration Standard Solutions

Yokogawa supplies Hamilton conductivity standards whose stability of ±1% is guaranteed over a life cycle of 1 to 3 years, depending on the value.
