Measuring disinfectant levels to ensure safety, hygiene, and regulatory compliance.
A chlorine sensor measures the concentration of chlorine present in water or process fluids, typically expressed in mg/L or ppm. Measurements may represent free chlorine, combined chlorine, or total chlorine depending on the application. Chlorine monitoring is critical for disinfection effectiveness and prevention of over-dosing.
Chlorine sensors operate by detecting chlorine through electrochemical or optical reactions. The sensing element selectively responds to chlorine species, producing a signal proportional to concentration.
The measured value directly represents the concentration of chlorine in a liquid.
Chlorine trends indirectly indicate disinfection effectiveness, pathogen control reliability, chemical dosing efficiency, and risks of corrosion or harmful by-product formation.
With Industrial IoT integration, chlorine sensors enable continuous disinfection monitoring, automated dosing control, real-time safety alerts, and compliance-ready water quality reporting.
The Chlorine Sensor is the final gatekeeper of public health. By ensuring effective yet controlled disinfection, it protects consumers, safeguards infrastructure, and upholds trust in water and process systems.
