Calorimeter
CWD SPC
CWD product series
The combustion calorimeters in the CWD product series (Calorimetry, Wobbe Index, Specific Gravity) are used to precisely determine the gas quality and all associated relevant measured variables:
Calorific value
Calorific value
Wobbe index
Specific density
CARI and air requirement
The CWD SPC (System Purge Certified) is a robust outdoor version of the CWD that has been specially developed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The device fulfills all requirements according to:
NFPA 496, 2013
ANSI / ISA 12.12.01
Classification: Class I, Division 2, Groups B, C, D, T4
Thanks to its certified system-purge concept, the CWD SPC is ideal for industrial applications where maximum safety and precise measured values are required under changing operating conditions.
Typical areas of application
The CWD SPC is used worldwide in demanding industrial processes, including for:
Monitoring and control of flare gases
Control of gas turbines
Fuel control in refineries
Process control in petrochemical plants
Thanks to its robust design, certified explosion protection version and high measuring accuracy, the device offers a reliable solution for safety-critical and dynamic gas applications.
