MicroNIR PAT-Wx
A robust, wireless near infrared (NIR) process spectrometer for use in hazardous locations.
The PAT-Wx is the hazardous location version of the popular VIAVI PAT-W wireless miniature process spectrometer. Its compact, lightweight design and automatic triggering function make it ideal for use on dynamic process equipment like tumble blenders. Since it is wireless and safe in the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dust, the PAT-Wx is also suited to diverse process monitoring applications in hazardous environments. As a member of the MicroNIR product family, it enables moving a process directly to production in a hazardous location using chemometric models and processes developed elsewhere. The PAT-Wx integrates readily with process equipment of all types and sizes, with the performance and stability to support truly efficient – and scalable – manufacturing.
