2.1.Description of the System
This instrument is applicable for the measurement of the specific
conductivity in surface water, potable water and cooling water. The
complete system consists of the Transmitter AMI Solicon4, the conductivity sensor Swansensor Shurecon P and the flow cell
M-Flow PG.
Transmitter, flow cell and sensors are also available as single components.
Application
Range
Conductivity is a parameter for the total quantity of ions present in
the solution. It can be used for the controlling of:
the condition of waters
water purification
water hardness
completeness of ion analysis

Galvanic separation of measuring inputs and signal outputs.
The analyzer is factory tested and ready for installation and operation.
The mobility of ions in water increase with higher temperature
which enlarges the conductivity. Therefore, the temperature is measured simultaneous by an integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor
and the conductivity is compensated to 25 °C.
When a voltage is set between two electrodes in an electrolyte solution, the result is an electric field which exerts force on the
charged ions: the positively charged cations move towards the negative electrode (cathode) and the negatively charged anions towards the positive electrode (anode). The ions, by way of capture
or release of electrons at the electrodes, are discharged and so a
current I flows through this cycle and the Ohms law V = I×R applies. From the total resistance R of the current loop, only the resistance of the electrolyte solution, respectively its conductivity
of interest.
The cell constant of the sensor is determined by the manufacturer
and is printed on the sensor label. If the cell constant has been programmed in the transmitter, the instrument measures correctly. No
calibration must be done, the sensor is factory calibrated.

Product Description
FluidicsThe flow cell M-Flow PG consists of the flow cell block [B] and the
calibration vessel [D].
The conductivity sensor [A] is fixed in the flow cell block [B] with a
threaded sleeve.
The sample enters at the sample inlet [F]. It flows through the del-
taT flow sensor [C] (if installed) and then through the flow cell block
into the calibration vessel [D], were the conductivity is measured.
The sample leaves the calibration vessel via flow cell block through
the sample outlet [E] and flows into the drain [G].
