Maintenance and calibration needs vary greatly among the different analyzer types. Sensor coating or electronic aging will weaken the signal of some other analyzers, necessitating calibration sometimes as often as every 3 months. NuSonics sulfuric acid analyzers have no recommended maintenance schedules and thus have the lowest possible operating cost. The calibration stability is achieved by the method of measuring the speed of sound though acid. This is determined by observing the time it takes for a sound pulse to traverse a known distance. Should the sensor foul a little, the received signal will be weaker, which doesn't matter since the important variable is how long the signal took to arrive. Maintenance requirements directly affect operating costs. A NuSonics analyzer has a typical lifetime of 5-10 years and when selected in lieu of a conductivity meter, will save a facility many times its price in operating costs alone. The extraordinary stability also allows NuSonics to offer NIST traceable accuracy certification. When accuracy, range and maintenance matter, NuSonics analyzers provide the solution.
