Here's the new LiquiPhysics excellence instruments for density and refractive index determinations in petrochemical plant operations.
The new density and refractometers are simple to operate. The One Click user interface allows quick, simple, and direct access to all routine tasks and provides clear user information utilizing shortcut buttons to start routine tasks immediately. Every operator has a personalized home screen, shortcuts, and operation language. Bubble Check and other error recognition possibilities eliminate measuring errors while bar codes automatically help ensure the right measuring method is always chosen.
Operators needing to wear heavy-duty protective gloves for safety protection can start a measurement by simply waving their hand over the ErgoSense device, a special hands-free motion sensor. There is no need to touch anything. Sampling and automation units help enhance the automated analysis of even the most demanding samples, such as bunker oils. Thanks to automated cleaning procedures, operator contact with hazardous solvents is prevented.
