Concentration Measurement for liquids, suspensions, and pasty media

State of the art measurement technology

Concentration measuring principle by Berthold!

The microwave measuring system uses the dielectric property of water. The measuring system generates microwaves that interact with the water molecules. This interaction causes an attenuation of the microwave energy, which can be detected as phase shift and attenuation. Since the phase shift and attenuation changes are directly proportional to the water content in the product, the concentration or dry content in the medium can be determined with high accuracy.
Berthold‘s superior multi-frequency technology provides very stable and reliable measurements unaffected by interfering reflections or resonances. The microwave energy is so low (max. 10 mW) that the material to be measured is neither heated nor altered in any way.
