Vaisala Measurement & Refractometers
Carotek is an authorized Vaisala distributor serving customers in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Vaisala is a global leader in weather, environmental, and industrial measurements, known worldwide for in-line liquid measurement of concentration, liquid density and dewpoint/humidity. Vaisala measurement instruments are used in thousands of industrial applications around the world. They have incorporated the former K-Patents products into their Vaisala offerings, reinventing it as Polaris.
Carotek offers Vaisala refractometers for a wide range of applications:
Chemical Food and beverage Oil refining and petrochemical Pharmaceutical and biotechnology Pulp and paper Salinity Semiconductor Sugar Sweeteners
As a Vaisala distributor, Carotek can support our customers’ needs with a broad range of instruments used to measure liquid concentration.
Vaisala Refractometers
What is a refractometer?
Light bends when it crosses the boundary between one medium and another. Using this principle of refraction, known as the refractive index (RI), a refractometer measures the concentration of a particular substance in a liquid solution. Vaisala Refractometers are commonly used to determine the concentration of dissolved solids by making an optical measurement of a solution’s refractive index.
What do refractometers do?
Vaisala refractometers are a crucial element used in process control and industrial automation. Vaisala inline process measurement determines the liquid concentration or density to improve performance of all types of refining, manufacturing and quality control operations.
Vaisala liquid concentration measurement can be used in real time to predict the final concentration. This quick and accurate response can optimize production and reduce costs by reducing the variation in the mean average of product concentration.
Vaisala Temperature, Humidity & Dew Point Sensors
Vaisala is also known for sensor technology solutions like HUMICAP®, CARBOCAP®, PEROXCAP®, DRYCAP® and others. Vaisala temperature probes, transmitters, data loggers and meters are designed for light and heavy industries, GxP regulated applications, hazardous areas and demanding environments.
Temperature sensors are used in over 50% of all industrial applications. The most common types of Vaisala temperature sensors are:
Thermocouples Semi-conductor-based sensors Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD)
An RTD-equipped device is the most accurate and stable temperature sensor for critical and regulated industrial applications.
Vaisala Calibration
Carotek offers on-site calibration to ensure the long-term accuracy and extended product lifespan of your Vaisala refractometers in even the most demanding environments. From commissioning and startup to ongoing maintenance, our Vaisala calibration capability ensures that your instrument performs according to specifications.
