Abstract:
An in-situ gas-measuring system (1) includes an IR photon source (10) and an IR photon detector (11). The in-situ gas-measuring system (1) has an expansion chamber (12), at which an optical element (16, 16′, 16″) is arranged. A connection element (13) provides a detachable fluid-communicating connection of the expansion chamber (12) to a gas reaction chamber (2). The IR-photon source (10), the optical element (16, 16′, 16″) and the IR photon detector (11) define an optical measuring path, which extends through the expansion chamber (12). The installation and maintenance of the in-situ gas-measuring system (1) are reduced by the features of the in-situ gas-measuring system (1).

Abstract:
A portable system is provided for inspecting presence of a coating on a surface. The portable system includes an optical source and a portable optical probe in optical communication with the optical source. The portable optical probe is arranged to access a surface, emit light onto the accessed surface, and receive light reflected by the accessed surface. A portable color discriminator is in optical communication with the portable optical probe and is arranged to discriminate colors of light received by the portable optical probe. A portable logic controller is arranged to determine presence of a coating on the accessed surface responsive to the discriminated colors of the reflected light. Optional configurations of the portable optical probe, including telescopic, 90 degree, and pivoting sensor tips, allow optical inspection of hard-to-reach surfaces as desired.
Abstract:
For use in a spectrophotometry or spectrofluorimetry system, where a fluid to be analyzed, is passed into or through a tube having at least one branch, a plastic device insertable into said branch, said device comprising a tubular plastic member the inner end of which is closed by a transparent transverse end wall, extending into the tube branch and within which an end of a fiber optic cable is removably secured with such end disposed in facing engagement with the inside of said wall, and a detector cap defining a chamber to hold some of the fluid or a dye color reactive to such fluid, is secured on the opposite side of the end wall. The tubular plastic member is removably securable in, and closes the tube branch.
