The Icon Scientific Process ColourOpacity Analyser from HMA Instrumentation uses a dispersive spectrometer module to carry out colour, opacity and concentration measurement. It is designed to overcome the shortcomings of optical filter-based instruments, including sensitivity losses due to band-pass width and the low transmission characteristics of fixed optical filters. The analyser can measure colour and opacity simultaneously. It can carry out concentration measurements based on light absorption at single or multiple wavelengths.

A unique measuring instrument, the Icon Scientific Process ColourOpacity Analyser from HMA Instrumentation is extremely versatile. It can be easily re-programmed in the field. It provides accurate measurement on many petroleum products that have colour as part of their specification. It can be used to duplicate a range of standard visual colour comparison tests dealing with light and dark samples. Delivering exceptional results, the analyser can measure contamination, purity or the clarity of a liquid. It is particularly good at detecting dye colour and product contamination in pipeline applications.

The Icon Scientific Process ColourOpacity Analyser from HMA Instrumentation uses visible light produced by a 12 V 10 W tungsten lamp running under reduced voltage to increase its life. Light passes out of the analyser enclosure through an optical window and moves along a fibre-optic cable to an external measuring cell. The Icon Scientific ColourOpacity Analyser is extremely versatile and may be readily re-application engineered by the user in the field.
