DCM-20 inline optical %Brix monitor provides real-time measurement in sanitary process applications. The liquid measurement technology is based on refractive index. The refractive index unit RIU is a physical measure of a liquid’s dissolved material following the theory of Snell’s law. KxS Technologies’ refractometers are used in various industries and critical process systems for liquid concentration measurements of total dissolved solids. The sensor calibration is performed with NIST traceable standard refractive index liquids and a defined process at KxS Technologies’ technology center.

The inline optical Brix monitor DCM-20 includes an integrated pT-1000 temperature element for process temperature measurement and simultaneous automatic temperature compensation of the Brix concentration measurement.

The instrument integration to process environments and control systems with industrial standard communication protocols is flexible with stand-alone Brix monitor setups, as well as optional modular connection units and external displays.
