Specac | ProCell - Process Flow CellsProCell Vortex data sheetProCell Vortex:Tailored for the applicationThe ProCell Vortex series process cell isdesigned to be flange mounted directly into theprocess stream or in a by-pass. To ensure easeof process integration, the cell can be configuredfrom a wide range of ANSI and DIN flange sizes.A choice of cell body materials, typically startingwith Stainless Steel, Duplex Stainless Steel, orHastelloy®, and a selection of high performanceperfluoroelastomer window seals or dffusionbonded windows ensures appropriate chemicalcompatibility for the application. Furthermore, toensure optimum UV/Vis or NIR spectroscopicabsorption features for analysis, opticaltransmission pathlengths are available from 1.0 to10 mm. Optical components within the cell areselected to be compatible with the wavelengthrange of interest and the diameter of optical fiberspecified by the user. Optical fiber connectivityis ensured by industry standard SMA 905connectors.Process streamSMA connectorProtective hoodFiber optic cableCable glandOptical systemSapphire windowPathlengthFiber optic cableProCell Vortex:Reliability, for peace of mindAll aspects of the ProCell Vortex were developedto give long-term reliability under the toughconditions of thermal shock, high operatingtemperatures, and aggressive chemistries thatare often encountered in the processenvironment. The use of sapphire windows givesoutstanding abrasion and chemical resistance,in addition to the ability to withstand severethermal shock (e.g. plant cleaning with highpressure steam).The Specac ProCell Vortex can be designed witha proprietary dual seal arrangement to giveproven long term reliability (with examples of thecell in continuous use for 15 years). Special“hoods” are included that fit over the optical fiberconnectors and give environmental protection(keeping out water, dust and dirt) as well asphysically supporting the cable outer sheath orarmouring. The latter ensures that stresses fromthe weight of the cable (or from it being moved,pulled, etc.) are not transmitted to the opticalfiber connection interface.www.specac.com
