Swagelok® CR-288® Concentration Monitor
The Swagelok CR-288 concentration monitor provides real-time, temperature-compensated concentration measurement in a compact, ultrahigh-purity package. The monitor uses an optical system to accurately measure liquid chemical concentration in real time. The digital display unit (DDU) and 288-connect® software package combine convenient scalable data interface and acquisition options via a graphical user interface and liquid crystal display.

        Cleaning and Packaging

        Every Swagelok CR-288 sensor is cleaned and packaged in accordance with SEMI Standard F57-301 for ultrahigh-purity fluid system components.

        Testing and Calibration
        Every Swagelok CR-288 sensor is factory leak tested to meet SEMI Standard E49.3, Section 9.2 for allowable leak rate. Each sensor is factory calibrated to deionized water at 20°C. The sensor calibration table can be updated with the 288-connect software to optimize performance with other liquids.

        Traceability
        Sensor bonnets are laser marked for traceability.
