The Janetsons ThinProbe refractometer outperforms standard refractometers by delivering temperature measurements fast enough for industrial feedback control, providing perfect temperature compensation, and cutting installation costs in half.
Key Comparisons: ThinProbe vs. Standard Refractometers
Fast-response measurements enable real-time feedback control
Too slow; cannot maintain stable control
Highly Accurate; measures refractive index and temperature at the exact same point
Lower accuracy; prone to lag
0.6 kg (1.3 lbs); lower mass enables faster temperature response
At least 2.4 kg (5.2 lbs); slower temp. feedback
12 mm; optimized for quicker response and strength
Thicker; slower thermal response
Lower, combines two measurements into one
High; requires two separate instruments
Comparison between traditional refractometers and ThinProbe
A standard industrial temperature measurement is made by the temperature element protected by a thermowell with diameter of 1/2” (12 mm), the same diameter as ThinProbe.
