GF Piping Systems has launched the new Signet 4630 Free-Chlorine Analyzer System, a completely integrated device, for precisely determining free chlorine levels. The new system can be used in several primary and secondary applications including prevention of algae growth, disinfection, water supply, de-chlorination, prevention of slime and odor.
The components of the Signet 4630 Free-Chlorine Analyzer System include a flow regulator, filter, clear flow cell, sensors and rotameter. The system is developed with amperometric sensing technology, which offers an enhanced solution when compared to conventional chlorine measuring methods. The new technology offers real-time measurement of free chlorine and avoids the requirement for reagents. Standard devices for chlorine measurement including reagent-based analyzers depend on chemicals. These chemicals may not be cost-effective and they may be out-of-date, polluted and need recurrent maintenance and substitution. They should be frequently calibrated and cleaned. The new system avoids these issues and costs related with chemicals, while offering a highly precise and incessant measuring solution.
Major parts of the system include a pair of mechanical relays, pre-wired electronics, a couple of 4 to 20 mA outputs and a 120 VAC power plug. It also supports manual or continuous pH compensation, enabling highly precise free chlorine measurements. Additionally, the chlorine sensor features analytic data that can be quickly availed via the chlorine device. The data is highly useful during troubleshooting.
The innovative flow cell layout features an integral flow regulator. It automatically manipulates the flow of liquid passing through the membrane of the sensors and reduces formation of bubbles, resulting in enhanced system precision and enabling inlet pressures ranging between 15 psi and 120 psi.
The new system can be availed along with isolation ball valves, avoiding the requirement for buying extra parts. The system requires only drain tubing and an influent measuring 3/8" for installation. The flow cell of the device can be opened easily to get rid of hard water accumulation and algae growth.
‘GF Piping Systems’ Instrumentation Product Manager, Anant Babtiwale, mentioned that with the launch of the 2552 Metal Insertion Magmeter and the 4150 Turbidimeter, the new 4630 Chlorine Analyzer will enable them to further dominate the potable water segment. He added that the new device offers a complete chlorine monitoring solution.
