The sensor’s outstanding filter performance guarantees the highest linearity and seamless consistency with laboratory results, providing fast, reliable process information. Additionally, the patented EasycalTM system simplifies calibration, making it liquid-free and traceable to NIST standards, further enhancing operational efficiency and data integrity.

Specific Applications for Advanced UV Measurement

The OUSAF46 sensor is uniquely suited for a variety of specialized applications critical to modern industrial processes. It is extensively used in Life Sciences for accurately measuring protein concentrations, a vital step in biopharmaceutical production and quality assurance. In Chromatography control, it ensures optimal separation and purity of eluted compounds by providing real-time monitoring of concentration. The sensor also excels in Permeate and retentate monitoring within filtration processes, helping to optimize recovery rates and filter performance. Furthermore, it is highly effective for the Concentration measurement of organic compounds, the Detection of aromatics, and general Filter monitoring, ensuring processes adhere strictly to product specifications and operational parameters.

Maximizing Product Yield and Process Control

A key benefit of the OUSAF46 sensor is its contribution to maximizing product yield and enhancing overall process control. By covering a wide measuring range thanks to its second UV wavelength, it provides continuous, reliable monitoring of product concentration. This allows for faster and more accurate process adjustments, leading to improved product consistency and reduced waste. The sensor’s precise measured values, which are fully consistent with laboratory results, simplify quality control procedures, reducing the need for frequent manual sampling and analysis. This not only saves time and resources but also contributes to higher overall product quality and increased profitability.

EasycalTM: Innovative Liquid-Free Calibration

The Endress+Hauser OUSAF46 features the highly beneficial EasycalTM system, a patented technology for simple, liquid-free online calibration. This system significantly streamlines the calibration process, eliminating the need for calibration liquids and reducing potential errors often associated with manual calibration methods. The calibration performed with EasycalTM is traceable to NIST, ensuring a high degree of accuracy and international comparability. This feature is particularly valuable in processes requiring frequent calibration, as it minimizes downtime and operational complexity. By ensuring consistent, reliable measurements, EasycalTM contributes to the sensor’s long-term performance and the integrity of your process data.

Exceptional Linearity and Laboratory Consistency

One of the standout features of the OUSAF46 sensor is its exceptional filter performance, which ensures the highest linearity across its measuring range. This high linearity means that the sensor’s output is directly proportional to the actual concentration of the product being monitored, even at varying levels. Coupled with its full consistency with laboratory results, this capability provides users with highly dependable process information. This direct correlation between inline measurements and laboratory findings simplifies validation and quality assurance processes, building confidence in the data and enabling more effective process optimization and control strategies.

Robust Design for Demanding Environments

The OUSAF46 sensor is built with a robust design to withstand demanding industrial environments and ensure a long service life. The sensor housing is constructed from high-grade stainless steel 316, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. It is designed for continuous operation within a process temperature range of 0 to 90 °C (32 to 194 °F), with the ability to withstand up to 130 °C (266 °F) for a period of 2 hours. Furthermore, it can handle process pressures of up to 100 bar (1450 psi) absolute, depending on the specific flow assembly used. This durability ensures stable operation and minimal maintenance, even in challenging conditions.a
