    These beams of light pass through a 25mm window of pipeline fluids and then are reflected back through fiber optics to the electronics enclosure for a total path of 50mm. KAM uses four LED's for color determination to increase the accuracy over three-color (RGB) models.
  • Page 4: Features

    The disparity in light output versus light reflected back is then converted into an electronic or optical signature which is amplified and sent to the computer. The computer in turn utilizes a mathematical formula to determine the exact color and haze (turbidity) of the fluid in the pipeline. Final color measurement from the KAM CHA™ can be ®...
