turtletoughsensors.com

Intelligently designed to perform in extreme applications.

Turtle Tough's patented and advanced technology will change the way

you experience liquid analysis.

The world’s toughest sensorsOur customers conduct liquid analytics in the toughest conditions in the world. They operate in mining, precious metal and ore refinement and extreme chemical processes, where most sensors are unable to provide accuracy or longevity.

Turtle Tough sensors: Physically and chemically superior Turtle Tough sensors provide long life and high performance in the world’s toughest environments. Through decades of experience hand-making sensors for the world’s toughest applications we have developed sensors that are optimised for:

• High hydrofluoric acid • Saturated sodium

• Organic solvent • High cyanidation

• Ultra-pure water • High temperature

• Slurry/viscous applications • Extreme pH levels

Turtle Tough sensors TOUGH vs SMARTThe original:Tough Series SensorsBuilt to withstand the toughest process environments in the world.

Until recently, analogue signal was the only signal available. The Tough Series' analogue output interfaces with a range of traditional analysers and transmitters.

This range of sensors have been used for decades in a huge range of industries where extreme processes require extremely tough sensors. Turtle Tough sensors are the preferred chemical measurement solution in high pressure, high temperature, abrasive and aggressive media.

“Our Tough Series Sensors are designed to be rugged, extremely strong and resistant

to a wide range of extreme chemical processes, temperatures and pH levels.”

The evolution:Smart Series SensorsBuilt with Direct Smart Sensors technology (DSS), stores and processes all data on the sensor.

Turtle Tough’s range of Smart Series Sensors are built with the same rugged, extremely strong design as our Tough range. They resist a wide range of extreme chemical processes, temperatures and pH levels. So what changed? They are unbeatably tough sensors, paired with unprecedented connectivity and control.

“Our Smart Series Sensors are equipped with an on-board microprocessor,

capable of processing measurement data and providing a feature rich digital MODBUS RTU

output directly from the sensor.”

Process more than a dozen parameters including:• Measurement type• Calibration data• Raw and calibrated process values• Max/min temperature• Serial number...as well as useful service information such as the number of days in use and time since last calibration.

These values can be intelligently integrated into your data acquisition system to achieve a very sophisticated level of analysis and control.
