Intended use Intended use The optek-sensors TF16 and their variants are to be applied only as scattered light turbidimeters for liquids and gases in inline applications according to the technical data. The use of the sensors in hazardous locations is prohibited.
Description of TF16 / TF16-N sensors Description of TF16 / TF16-N sensors The TF16 model is a high precision dual channel scattered light turbidimeter. It measures direct light and light scatterd from particles in the process medium at an angle of 11°. The sensor is made entirely of stainless steel and designed for direct installation into pipelines.
Page 10
Description of TF16 / TF16-N sensors Due to the small scattering angle, direct light and scattered light practically travel the same distance in the process medium. This is why product specific disturbances such as color or color changes of the carrier medium as well as soilings on windows may be optimally compensated.
