Reliable APHA/PT-Co (Hazen) Color Analyzer (ASTM D1209)
THE SMART, COST-EFFECTIVE CHOICE
Using our Guided Wave APHA/Platinum-Cobalt Color Analyzer System to automate this measurement within a process eliminates the visual judgment of a technician and delivers online real-time process control information to the process operators.
- Analyzer – ClearView® db filter photometer technology
- Fiber optic cables
- Sample interface – insertion probe or flow cell
- Control software and Saybolt application calibration
- Accurate, Real-time Reliable Results
The APHA/Platinum-Cobalt Color Analyzer System utilizes a Guided Wave multi-wavelength ClearView db filter photometer analyzer platform. It may be configured for either one (1) or two (2) independent sample monitoring points. The ClearView db analyzer is configured with application-appropriate wavelengths to measure the APHA/Platinum-Cobalt color of the sample. The analyzer employs a dual-beam design – meaning; the system has an continual internal optical reference check that allows it to self-compensate for signal variation due to non-sample conditions. This ultimately provides the system with long term stability. The final product is a total APHA/Platinum-Cobalt Color System that measures the color variation without interference from other factors.
This test method describes a procedure for the visual measurement of the color of light-colored liquids. It can be referred to by several different names: APHA, Platinum-Cobalt, or Hazen. The measurement was originally developed to detect contamination of water supplies as detected by a slight yellow color. Today it finds use in many industries to measure slight yellowness to determine product quality (either degradation or impurities).
The APHA/Platinum-Cobalt color scale is described in ASTM D1209 “Standard TestMethod for Color of Clear Liquids (Platinum-Cobalt Scale)”. This ASTM method is an off-line manual laboratory method. The original test design required an observer to compare the color of a product to a known standard, and then judge the “color.” The APHA/Platinum-Cobalt color scale ranges from 0 to 500. The lowest value of 0 is referred to as water white. value of 500 is distinctly yellow.
The Smart Color Analyzer Choice
Complete APHA/Platinum-Cobalt (Hazen) Color Analyzer System:
- Unique dual beam optics – for long term, stable operation
- Up to two (2) independent measurement points – for added analytical flexibility at reduced cost per point
- High efficiency yet rugged fiber optics – analyzer electronics can be located away from a hazardous sample point
- In-door touch screen or Ethernet (Modbus TCP) – easy local or remote analyzer operation and control
- Analytical calculations are all encoded in the software – answers and alarms are clearly reported
Our APHA/Platinum-Cobalt Analyzer System delivers accurate, real-time process measurement results. Its linearity and repeatability, as well as its low maintenance requirements make it a cost effective, smart choice to help optimize production, improve yields, ensure consistent product quality and enhance profitability. The Saybolt Analyzer System may be customized in variations.
