Measure one chemical concentration inline using ultrasonic velocity and temperature, with PMA support.
The Rhosonics 8500 is a single-channel ultrasonic process concentration analyser. It measures the speed of sound through the liquid and combines this with temperature to determine the concentration of a defined chemical solution.
Continuous concentration information can support blending, replenishment and bath control. Unlike a laboratory grab sample, an inline trend can show when the composition changes between routine checks. The calibration must still be established for the actual formulation and operating range.
PMA can assess your chemical, temperature range, contaminants and available mounting position before recommending the sensor and calibration.
Use ultrasonic velocity with an accurate temperature measurement to relate the process response to concentration.
The source product information describes UMP and UFTC probes with reflection or transmission configurations.
Published options include 316L, Hastelloy and PEEK. Confirm compatibility with the full process chemistry.
Match the selected sensor and analyser to the process. PMA can confirm the current configuration and supply the relevant technical documents.
Speed of sound and temperature for one chemical concentration in a defined solution.
UMP or UFTC probes; the choice depends on the duty and installation arrangement.
Suitable inline or tank arrangements must be selected for the sensor, connection and operating conditions.
Specify the chemical, range, temperature, reporting units and required control-system outputs with PMA.
Review sulphuric acid or caustic concentration within a defined and validated composition range.
Support concentration control where the measured component and interfering constituents are understood.
Assess a defined mixture against temperature, material compatibility and representative reference samples.
Define the measurement objective and reference method before selecting the analyser. PMA can review the process conditions and the evidence needed to validate the proposed installation.
PMA has supported process measurement and analysis since 1971. We bring the instrument, the installation and the measurement objective together.
Share your process conditions with our team. We can help with product selection, application review, commissioning and ongoing support.
Read the public Rhosonics brochure for the measurement principle and published technical information.
Explore PMA’s dedicated ultrasoundmeter.co.uk product information and application library.
Review the application, installation questions and reference evidence for your process.
The 8500 is intended for one chemical concentration. For two changing components, review the 9500 ternary analyser and a suitable second measurement.
No. The concentration relationship depends on the chemical formulation and temperature. Each proposed application needs the appropriate calibration and reference evidence.
The sensor arrangement depends on the selected probe and fitting. Review the wetted materials, mounting connection and process conditions; ultrasonic measurement does not mean every installation is external or non-contacting.
Choose by measurement objective, process medium and installation requirements.
Measure two chemical concentrations in a defined liquid mixture using complementary process measurements.
Continuous non-nuclear slurry density measurement for mineral processing, quarries, dredging and tunnelling.
