SENSORS
​

Centec sensors are used in laboratory and process environments as stand alone devices or as part of a process management system. They ensure that products are manufactured to high standards and that processes are carried out with optimized efficiency in order to consume the least amount of energy and raw materials. Using the most sophisticated Centec sensor technology for process systems, Centec is able to provide superior reliability and precision solutions.

Centec high precision instruments are used to measure:

• Oxygen in liquids and gases
• Carbon dioxide in liquids
• Densities and speeds of sound (eg for separation stages) Alcohol, Extract, Original Gravity, Sugar (Brix), Acid, Caustic
