Key parameters
Fits closed-loop glycol, BRIX, and process concentration jobs that need a stand-alone inline digital refractometer — refractive index with built-in %BRIX, %MEG, %MPG, and %ALV equations, dual 4–20 mA plus RS-485 Modbus, and a 316L tri-clamp flow cell.
Key advantages
- Multi-readout — Refractive index 1.30000–1.5100; BRIX 0–85%; MEG/MPG/ALV 0–100%; temp −20–80 °C (display equations)
- Accuracy — nD ±0.0002; BRIX & glycol ±0.2% (OEM product page)
- I/O — Dual 4–20 mA + RS-485 Modbus; Bluetooth with MA-CR adapter + uPyxis
- Build — Sapphire + 316L wetted; IP67; local display and push-button interface
- Logging — Built-in historical log up to 56 days at 1 reading/min via uPyxis
Typical applications
- Mono-ethylene / mono-propylene glycol closed-loop concentration monitoring
- BRIX / sugar concentration process streams
- Advanced low-viscosity (ALV) heat-transfer fluid tracking
- Direct refractive-index readout into PLC/DCS or stand-alone display
Selection guide
- Sample temperature — −4 to 158 °F (−20 to 70 °C); for higher process temps see RT-200 (to 120 °C)
- Pressure / flow — ≤142 psi (0.98 MPa); <13.5 GPM (9.8 ft/s)
- Power — 24 VDC (1.5 W); optional wall adapter for controller-free operation
- Install — 316L tri-clamp flow assembly with ¾ in NPT flange; tool-free remove for clean
- Fouling — Filter suspended solids; plan eye cleaning per manual for dirty streams
Common mistakes
- Ordering RT-100 when sample temperature exceeds ~70 °C — use RT-200 for high-temp (to 120 °C) processes
- Skipping solids filtration — deposits on the sensor eye degrade readings
- Assuming Bluetooth is built-in without MA-CR — OEM lists Bluetooth when used with MA-CR adapter
- Leaving concentration curve blank — confirm BRIX vs MEG vs MPG vs ALV vs raw nD for the 4–20 mA map
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Primary readout (nD / BRIX / MEG / MPG / ALV), sample temp/pressure, and flow
- Controller vs stand-alone power, MA-CR Bluetooth need, cleaning module interest, quantity
- Ship-to and process fluid notes

FAQ
Q: What concentrations can RT-100 report? A: Built-in temperature-dependent equations for %BRIX, %MEG, %MPG, and %ALV plus direct refractive index.
Q: RT-100 vs RT-200? A: Same concentration family; RT-100 sample temp to 70 °C, RT-200 high-temp sample to 120 °C with built-in Bluetooth 5.0.
Q: What should I send for a quote? A: Readout type, sample temp/pressure, power/adapter needs, quantity, ship-to. Compatible with systems using Pyxis RT-100 — we do not claim authorized-dealer status.
