- +5
- Highly accurate concentration sensor
- Ideal for measuring 3-component mixtures
- Modular and compact minimizes integration effort and costs
- Easy commissioning and operation
- No consumables, no maintenance
L-Com 5500 is a smart density and sound velocity sensor combined into one instrument with an accuracy of 0.05 kg/m³ for density measurement and 0.1 m/s for sound velocity measurement. This lets you conduct concentration measurements of 3-component mixtures with just one instrument. This concentration sensor meets the requirements of a wide variety of applications in the chemical, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
Key features
One concentration sensor to measure 3-component mixtures
- Enjoy the benefits of an L-Dens 7500 density sensor and an L-Sonic sound velocity sensor in one instrument to measure 3-component mixtures in different industries
- Use L-Com 5500 for a range of applications like
- Breweries: measure alcohol and extract concentration in beer
- Chemical industry: measure formaldehyde-methanol-water concentration in formaldehyde production, where in this application the explosion proof version is used.
Accuracy and reliability under changing process conditions
- Get the best accuracy on the market
- 0.05 kg/m³ for density measurement
- 0.1 m/s for sound velocity measurement
- The metallic sensor technology, without thermal insulation by plastic coating, enables exact concentration measurements – even with temperature fluctuations
One instrument, three installation options
- Know you won’t need maintenance or consumables since there’s no moving parts
- Install the concentration sensor with low integration costs thanks to its modular design
- Benefit from flexible installation options: inline, bypass, or tank installation
- Use our small pumps – integrated into the instrument unit – that are controlled by the instrument itself for either extremely fluctuating or no flow
- Do this even in hazardous areas with the Inline Pump 300 Ex d
Easy commissioning, simple operation
- Connect the concentration sensor to the powerful mPDS 5 evaluation unit or combine it with the smart transmitter Pico 3000
- Choose from a variety of communication protocols, according to your needs
- Start measuring immediately after installation
