In refined products, color variations indicate impurities and/or the presence of trace water or haze. This contamination can be a significant liability as color differentiation can be easily detected by the end user. The KAM® CHA™ Colorimeter/Haze Analyzer is the ideal qualitative solution for monitoring both the color of refined products, including those with added dyes, and the presence of haze in pipelines following the refining process.
Utilizing a unique 5-LED design, the KAM® CHA™ detects interface color variations within 1%, and unlike most colorimeters can detect the entire range of visible color as defined by CIE 1931 (International Commission on Illumination). Final color measurement can be expressed as haze plus three color (X, Y, Z) or in several industry-standard color scales including, Saybolt, Platinum and Cobalt, and ASTM. Measurement is fully automatic without the need for operator intervention or supervision, and the output signal can be sent to the SCADA, PLC's, or to a Central Control Room for logging or display on chart recorders or monitors.
