On-line Quality Control Measurements in Varying Conditions

Modern miniature spectroscopy is well suited for process environments, where real-time monitoring of raw stock, routine processes and finished goods is critical. Modularity of spectrometers, light sources and sampling optics allows for deeper implementation of instrumentation into the process flow, and makes it much simpler to optimize setups. With the use of a new generation of robust, repeatable and stable instrumentation like the Flame spectrometer, manufacturers can more easily assess sample quality under rigorous conditions. In this application note, we investigate the thermal stability of a Flame spectrometer system for process line transmission measurements at different temperatures.
