New Low Cost Process Raman Photometer

Hamilton Sundstrand’s Applied Instrument Technologies (AIT), based in USA, recently announced the introduction of its new RPM View™ process Raman photometer as part of the RPM™ of Raman process analysers. The RPM View joins AIT’s existing two process spectrophotometers, the RPM MD™,a multi-channel analyser configured for general-purpose use in the lab or in the control room and the RPM 785, a process Raman system packaged for hazardous areas. 

The RPM View’s unique technology features a direct coupled sampling design eliminating the need for expensive fiber optic sampling.  In addition to liquids and slurries, the high throughput design also allows the monitoring of process gases providing the ability to measure gaseous diatomic species in a wide variety of chemical compositions. For example, for the first time a single analyser is able to measure H2, Cl2, N2 or O2 and organic chemicals. These features position the RPM View as an important measurement tool for the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.   Pre calibrated for each application, the RPM View requires no complex on-line chemometric modeling and is maintenance free. Its small footprint allows for flexible installation locations at the desired measurement point or within an existing analyser shelter.   Mr. Joseph LaConte, General Manager of Hamilton Sundstrand’s Applied Instrument Technologies unit, said, “The development of this new RPM View was a natural extension of our existing RPM series of spectrophotometers as well as the other AIT process spectroscopy products; the PioNIR NIR, MGA process mass spectrometer, and the Analect family of FTIR and FT-NIR.”
