Description
Sherwood Scientific Model 410 Flame Photometer
Flame Photometry is the technique of choice for the measurement of Sodium, Potassium and Calcium.
Ideal for use in the following applications:
- Mineral Extraction
- Oil Industry
- Paper Industry
- Pharmaceuticals
- Soil Analysis
- Utilities
- Food & Beverage
- Chemical Manufacture
- Fertilisers.
The Model 410 Industrial Flame Photometer comes with a digital output, for printer or PC connection. It also has Sodium linearisation capability to allow higher concentrations of Sodium (<40 ppm) to be directly measured using a single point calibration. The facility can be switched on or off according to the operator’s preference or protocol for Sodium determinations.
