Ready for the toughest requirements in the chemical industry

Knick is known for rugged and durable products able to withstand even harsh environmental and measurement conditions. Co-developed and introduced to the market by Knick, contactless Memosens technology contributes to this. This combination of durable products with digital Memosens technology is ideally suited to the requirements of the chemical industry.

Wide range of applications and demanding requirements

The chemical industry is characterized by an extremely high diversity of applications. Environmental conditions can be wet, highly corrosive, and toxic. Consequently, process safety combined with explosion protection and proven measurement technology have an important role to play. The measured values, e.g., for pH, often reach extreme levels (pH < 1, pH > 13) and this is associated with increased temperature and pressure. This places very high demands on the sensors. The range of corrosion-resistant special materials (Hastelloy, Titanium, PEEK, Teflon) is just as essential as fittings tailored specifically to the application.

Outside Europe, the measurement technology is often installed completely outdoors, requiring particularly rugged measuring technology with enclosures made of coated stainless steel or corrosion-resistant, impact-resistant, UV-resistant polymers, for instance.

Is your measuring point subject to other conditions? No matter, our portfolio enables us to offer an optimal solution to almost any measuring task.
