Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of measurement calibration, the field of instrument process verification, particularly relate to a mobile on -line refractometer calibration device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The refractive index (also known as refractive index, refractive index) is the specific inherent property of matter, and changes according to temperature and wavelength. For pure substances, the refractive index can be used to identify and distinguish samples. For binary mixtures (such as solute dissolved in solvent), the refractive index can be used to measure the concentration (commonly known as brix for indicating the concentration of sucrose solution and salinity for indicating the concentration of sodium chloride solution). For binary or multi-component mixtures with known composition, quality control can also be performed by monitoring the refractive index. Online refractometry is a process analysis technology. Its basic application is to use the data stream provided by the online refractometer to realize process relative trend judgment and real-time monitoring. On this basis, combined with reference data from process variables and analytical laboratory and other data streams, comprehensive data analysis can be carried out to realize real-time monitoring of product key quality attributes and association with key process parameters, and finally realize real-time release of product indicators. This helps to improve product quality, reduce production cost, improve production efficiency, reduce laboratory testing demand, and determine the opportunity for process improvement, and ultimately reduce the risk and cost of product production.
