The disparity in light output versus light reflected back is then converted into an electronic or optical signature
which is amplified and sent to the computer. The computer in turn utilizes a mathematical formula to determine the
exact color and haze (turbidity) of the fluid in the pipeline. Final color measurement from the KAM CHA™ can be
®
expressed as haze plus three color (X, Y, Z, CIE 1931) or in several other industry-standard color scales including,
Saybolt, Platinum and Cobalt, and ASTM 1500 (see Specifications, Section 2).
The computer automatically adjusts for electronic noise and any LED fluctuations. Because the absorption rates of
the different colored fluids vary resulting in different signal strengths, the computer also automatically adjusts the
amplification or gain accordingly.
Measurement is fully automatic without the need for operator intervention or supervision. The output signal can be
sent to the SCADA, PLC's, or to a Central Control Room for logging or display on chart recorders or monitors.
The KAM CHA™ probe can be installed in an analyzer loop or in the main line, and because it's easily mounted
®
through a full-opening ball valve, you can insert or retract the probe without having to ever drain the pipe.

FEATURES
