CLS12 Conductivity Sensor Overview
The CLS12 conductivity sensor is a two-electrode measurement sensor designed specifically for high-temperature and high-pressure operating conditions. Its cell constant can be selected as k=0.01/cm or k=0.1/cm, with a maximum applicable temperature of 160°C. This sensor is widely used for precise measurement of low-conductivity media under high temperature and high pressure in industrial and power plant applications.
Selection Guide
Cell Constant and Range Selection
Select the appropriate cell constant according to the conductivity range of the measured medium. The CLS12 offers two cell constant models corresponding to different measurement ranges. The specific parameters are shown in the table below.
| Model | Cell Constant k | Measurement Range | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLS12-A1D1A | 0.01 cm⁻¹ | 0.04 μS/cm ~ 20 μS/cm | High-purity water, condensate |
| CLS12-A1D1A | 0.1 cm⁻¹ | 0.1 μS/cm ~ 200 μS/cm | Boiler feedwater, steam/water loop |
Note: During selection, ensure that the medium conductivity falls within the measurement range to avoid measurement errors or sensor damage caused by exceeding the range.
Typical Application Scenarios
1. Power Plant and Energy Industry
The CLS12 is commonly used in the steam/water loop of power plants and the energy industry to monitor conductivity changes and evaluate water quality. Its high-temperature and high-pressure resistance makes it reliable in condensate monitoring, boiler feedwater monitoring, and boiler blowdown control.
2. Industrial High-Temperature, High-Pressure, Low-Conductivity Measurement
In chemical, pharmaceutical, and other industrial processes, the CLS12 can accurately measure low-conductivity media under high temperature and high pressure, ensuring process stability and equipment safety.
- Condensate monitoring: Detect condensate purity to prevent impurities from entering the boiler.
- Boiler feedwater monitoring: Control feedwater quality to reduce scaling and corrosion.
- Boiler blowdown control: Automatically adjust blowdown based on conductivity to improve energy efficiency.
- Steam/water loop: Monitor circulating water quality to ensure system operation.
Summary
If low-conductivity media under high temperature and high pressure need to be measured, especially in industrial and power plant applications, the CLS12 conductivity sensor is an ideal choice. Proper selection can ensure measurement accuracy and long-term stability, providing reliable data for process optimization and equipment protection.
