Rosemount Analytical 400 / 400VP Endurance Conductivity Sensor

The Rosemount Analytical Model 400 /400VP Endurance Conductivity Sensor are designed for direct screw-in insertion into process piping using a 3/4-inch MNPT fitting. The Model 400 sensors can also be used in sidestream samples. A 1-inch pipe tee with a 3/4-inch bushing is a suitable flow cell. A 3/4-inch pipe tee can be used with 0.1 and 1.0/cm cells. A transparent plastic flow cell is also available (PN 24091-02).

ENDURANCE sensors are contacting conductivity sensors. They are available in cell constants of 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, and 10/cm. The choice of cell constant depends on conductivity. High conductivity samples require larger cell constants. Consult the analyzer Product Data Sheet for recommended ranges and accuracy.

Sensors with 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0/cm cell constants have concentric titanium electrodes separated by a PEEK insulator. Viton O-rings seal the internal parts of the sensor from the process liquid. Sensors with 10/cm cell constants have graphite electrodes and an epoxy body.

Electrolytic conductivity is a strong function of temperature, and conductivity readings are typically converted to the value at a reference temperature. To measure temperature, ENDURANCE sensors use a platinum RTD. In metal electrode sensors the RTD is inside the inner electrode. In the epoxy body sensor, the RTD is in a titanium thermowell protruding from the end of the sensor.

The Model 400 sensor is available with Variopol 6 quick disconnect watertight connectors. Wire the interconnecting cable to the analyzer and run the cable to the sensor. The sensor plugs into the cable receptacle. To replace the sensor, simply disconnect the Variopol fitting and plug in a new sensor. There is no need to rewire or rerun cable.
