Sensorex Designs CS875 Conductivity Sensors for Hi-Temp, Hi-Pressure Boiler Conditions

Jane Alexander | December 21, 2015

Sensorex (Garden Grove, CA) has designed its in-line high-temperature and high-pressure CS875 conductivity sensors specifically for use in industrial boilers. According to the manufacturer, these rugged devices provide accurate, repeatable conductivity measurements at saturated steam conditions up to 600 psig (41.4 bar) and temperatures up to 486 F (252 C) without cooling the process sample.

How It Works
The CS875 enables continuous automatic blowdown control, minimizing corrosion and scaling. By eliminating excessive blowdown in higher-pressure boilers, energy, and treatment chemical use can be reduced.

• Suitable for for use with most makes and models of conductivity transmitters or controllers, these sensors have 3/4-in. male NPT mounting threads with a 1-in. insertion depth for easy installation. The body and measuring pin are both constructed of 316 stainless steel.
• A special thermally resistant PEEK insert and high temperature perfluoroelastomer o-rings ensure reliability at extreme boiler temperatures.

Two models are available to suit application requirements: the CS875HT, and the CS875HTTC with ATC temperature element.

All Sensorex probes are supplied with 6″ PTFE coated leads as standard for integral mounting to a forged steel junction box/conduit assembly. Longer cable lengths are also available at additional cost.
