DISCONTINUED: The 3048 Iron Analyzer is replaced by the updated 3148 Dissolved Iron Analyzer.
3048 Iron Analyzer
Range: 0 – 250 ppb
Range: 0 – 500 ppb
Range: 0-5 ppm
The Waltron 3048 Dissolved Iron Analyzer is the first choice for colorimetric online analysis of dissolved iron in clean water applications. Online dissolved iron analysis is increasingly critical as an effective method to monitor corrosion within steam and boiler water systems. An enhanced color touchscreen user interface makes the 3048 easy to operate and configure, and the clever fast-loop reservoir feature allows accurate measurement independent of flow. The 3048 automates manual bench test analysis for accurate and reliable results, greatly enhancing visibility on iron concentration changes and earlier detection of potential problems.
