- Handheld Instrumentation : APW

 

 

 

Impossible to wear out, the APW range of field instruments is the most reliable and commonly used in France.

Simple, robust, and watertight! That’s the recipe PONSEL has been applying for 55 years.
 


APW-PH : pHmeter

Range : 0,00 to 14,00 pH.

 

The pHmeter APW-PH is a portable instrument, watertight and robust. Simple to use, no microprocessor technology : calibration and setting by simply turning buttons

(no deadlock during measurements).
 

Wide choice of pH electrodes, adjustable cable length from 1 to 10 m. Several accessories : strainer of protection, roller for cable.
Operate with a 9 V battery.

 

 

APW-PH/T : pH-Thermometer

Range : 0,00- 14,00 pH. 0,0 - 50,0°C

 

The pH-Thermometer APW-PH/T is a portable instrument, watertight and robust. Simple to use, no microprocessor technology : calibration and setting by simply turning buttons (no deadlock during measurements).
Its working is similar to a pHmeter but with an independent Temperature sensor (PT100).

Temperature Range : 0,1 - 50,0°C +/- 0,1°C,

pH Range : 0,00 -14,00 pH.

Wide choice of pH electrodes, adjustable cable length from 1 to 10 m. Several accessories : protection belt, winding drum.

 
 

APW-PH/EH : pH-ORP meter

Range : pH : 0,00 - 14,00
ORP : - 2000 à + 2000 mV

 

A practical combination allowing both pH and ORP measures. With this bi-parameter portable instrument, it is possible to have the 2 measurements in the same time because the 2 probes are connected in parallel. You don't need to disconnect the pH (or ORP) sensor to connect our ORP (or pH) sensor.

pH Range : 0,00-14,00 pH.
ORP Range : - 2000 ; + 2 000 mV +/- 1 mV.
 
 

APW-EH : ORP meter

The APW-EH PONSEL is the ideal tool for controlling the processes of nitrification/identification in aeration basin of waste water treatment plant, the strength of plating bathes or swimming pool disinfection.

 

ORP Range : - 2000 ; + 2000 mV.

This portable instrument is watertight, robust and simple to use.
Operated with a 9 V battery.
 
 

APW-O2T : Oxygen Meter

Range : 0,0 to 19,9 mg/L

 

Simple, robust and reliable ! That’s the recipe PONSEL has applied for over 50 years.

The APW-O2T is the ideal tool for controlling dissolved oxygen concentration in water or any liquids.

Protection: IP 67
Operating temperatures : – 10°C to +60°C
Technology : Polarographic electrode - Teflon membrane
Measuring range :
      - Oxygen : 0.0 – 19.9 mg/l
      - temperature : 0.0 to 50.0°C
Accuracy :
      - Oxygen : +/- 0.5% displayed value
      - Temp. : +/- 0,1 °C
Power supply: 1x 9V battery- 2000 hours life time.
 
 

APW-C4E : Conductivity meter

Range : 0-200/2 000/ 20 000/200 000 µS/cm (automatic switching of the range)
4 electrodes sensor

 

For monitoring process waters, wastewater treatment plants, and the quality of drinking waters, surface and underground waters.

Conductivity Range : 0-200 ; 0-2 000 ; 0-20 000 ; 0-200 000 µS/cm.

Standard delivery with a sensor with 4 electrodes (2 platinum and 2 graphite) and with a cable of 3 meters (up to 30 meters). For cable length over 30 meters, you must choose the sensor with an integrated amplifier (max. 110 m).
 

APW-MES : Suspended Solids Meter
Range : 0 to 20 g/L or 0 to 50 g/L
IR optical sensor
allows a direct on-line measurement ! (no sampling needed)

 

The APW-MES use the principle of optical absorption of IR light and delivers a direct indication in g/l of the concentration of particles in suspension in all types of sludge's up to 50 g/l. It measures the portion of infrared light transmitted through the sludge.
Simple calibration in laboratory with a known concentration of a sludge sample (determinated by a laboratory analysis) is all what is required to perform these measurements.

Suspended Solid concentration Range : 0-20 g/l (MES20) ; 0-50 g/l (MES50).
 

APW-TU : Turbidity meter

Range : 0,0 to 0,200 / 0 to 2000 NTU
IR sensor
allows a direct on-line measurement ! (no sampling needed)

 

Thanks to its robust sensor, it allows a direct on-line measurements.

No more need for sampling or dedicated measurement basin.
You could use this instrument in several applications : monitoring of underground water, natural water (river, lake, ...), rapid control on urban or industrial wastewater treatment plant, ....

Operating temperatures : – 10°C to +50°C
Technology : Optical Absorption of Infrared (880nm)
Measuring range : 0.0 to 200.0 FTU or 0 to 2000 FTU
Accuracy : 1% displayed value ± 1 digit.
Protection IP 67
Cable : 10 m (up to 100 m available on request)
Power supply : 1 x 9V battery

 

APW-VB : Sludge blanket detector

More user friendly than the Secchi disk, the portable instrument APW - VB Ponsel, gives you a direct reading of the sludge percentage :
0 % for clear water
100 % for fully opaque sludge

 

The sensor uses the principle of optical absorption of the infrared light. A measurement of 100 % correspond to a ultra-clear water (without any suspended solid) and a measurement of 0% to a fully opaque sludge (concentrated sludge). So it becomes very easy to locate the interface of sludge blanket.

Range : APW-SB20 : 0-3 g/L ; APW-VB50 : 0-50 g/l.

A very useful and user-friendly for all the individual waste water controls that need to be done in all European countries. Reliable, this handheld instrument permits to realize easy and quick report.
