1.1 General
The TCT-2301 is an in-line transmitter for measuring total consistency
of pulp suspensions in the range 0.01-3.5%.
Based on BTG's patented Peak Method (see section 1.3) of optical anal-
ysis, the TCT-2301 is virtually insensitive to variations in filler and fines
content, making it particularly suitable for use with recycled and me-
chanical pulp suspensions.
The transmitter is mounted in-line, without any special bypass arrange-
ment, for optimized functioning of the control loop. The instrument's
unique probe, without electronic components, makes the transmitter in-
sensitive to variations in temperature and vibration. The probe is con-
nected to the wall-mounted electronics unit by an optical fiber.
An integrated fail-safe system means the probe can be installed and re-
tracted safely without shutting down the process, even in high pressure
applications.
The transmitter's non-clogging and self-cleaning features ensure trouble-
free and accurate operation with easy maintenance.
