3.3.4 Meters and sensors
Introduction
This section describes the meters and sensors that are installed as standard components
of ÄKTAprocess.
Overview
ÄKTAprocess is provided with a set of sensors and meters that provide data to the control
system, enabling it to control the progress and detect the performance of the process
in a satisfactory way.
The basic system setup includes meters and sensors that measure pressure, flow, con-
ductivity (Cond), pH, air, temperature and UV. Measurement of these parameters enables
basic isocratic operation and the air sensor before the column also makes sure that no
air enters the column during processing.
Flow meter measurement
principle
The measuring principle of the flow meter is based on the controlled generation of
Coriolis forces. Refer to the flow meter manual in the product documentation package
for more information.
