Pre-calibrated and 48-hour dynamically aged inline sensors designed for extreme temperatures, high saline loads, and ultra-pure water loops.
Inline conductivity analysis is the baseline metric for ionic purity and chemical concentration across continuous industrial loops. As water scarcity tightens global regulatory enforcement, real-time electrochemical instrumentation has shifted from passive quality assurance to active, closed-loop SCADA actuation.
Global regulatory frameworks such as EU Industrial Emissions Directive (IED 2010/75/EU) and US EPA Effluent Guidelines mandate continuous tracking of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Inline toroidal conductivity systems enable real-time brine tracking in multi-stage flash desalination and mechanical vapor recompression loops.
In high-pressure supercritical steam circuits (ASTM D5391 & ASME PTC 19.11), specific, cation, and degassed cation conductivity are monitored down to 0.055 µS/cm. Detecting trace chloride or sulfate ingress early prevents turbine pitting and stress corrosion cracking in boilers.
Sub-nanometer fab nodes require resistivity monitors capable of resolving up to 18.2 MΩ·cm at 25°C. Concurrently, biopharma systems rely on 3-A Sanitary standard conductivity probes to automate CIP phase separation between caustic wash, acid rinse, and WFI flushes.
Selecting the optimal cell constant (K-factor) and transducer typology determines operational longevity and measurement repeatability across aggressive chemical media.

Founded in 2007, Shanghai BOQU Instrument operates dedicated R&D, precision electrode machining, and smart transmitter surface mounting workshops across two primary facilities.
Our inline conductivity systems are engineered to withstand real-world plant hazards including electrode polarization, chemical degradation, and high-frequency inverter noise.
In thermal power stations throughout Vietnam, China, and Eastern Europe, BOQU high-temperature conductivity cells monitor boiler feed and blowdown lines. Paired with sample coolers, our meters perform automatic non-linear temperature compensation to ensure accurate silica and sodium salt surveillance.
Food, beverage, and biotech plants across Russia and Latin America use BOQU toroidal inductive sensors (such as the SJG-2083CS) to monitor caustic rinsing solutions. Measuring conductivity inline eliminates product cross-contamination and cuts caustic consumption by up to 22%.
In high-density indoor vertical farming and recirculation aquaculture (RAS) across Korea, Malaysia, and Brazil, dual-channel DCA130 analyzers simultaneously read conductivity and pH to optimize fertilizer injection and protect against osmotic root shock.
Combining end-to-end component sourcing with vertically integrated manufacturing in Pudong, Shanghai delivers unmatched agility and supply chain reliability.
Unlike assembly shops that rely on outsourced parts, BOQU houses its own cleanrooms, high-temperature glassblowing shop, CNC electrode lathe centers, and SMT PCB assembly lines. This ensures tight quality control, stable raw-material pricing, and consistent batch reproducibility.
By retaining deep reserves of corrosion-resistant metals (Hastelloy, Titanium, Platinum) and PEEK polymers, standard inline conductivity meters ship in 3 to 7 working days. This rapid turnaround mitigates lead-time risks for EPC engineering contractors and global distributors.
We support full OEM private labeling, custom insertion depths, Tri-Clamp sanitary flanges, high-pressure NPT fittings, modified Modbus register maps, and bespoke enclosure styling tailored to your regional market requirements.
Industrial water analysis is evolving rapidly toward edge intelligence, zero-maintenance optical/electrochemical hybrid cells, and native cloud SCADA communication.
Next-generation BOQU digital conductivity transducers embed high-speed microcontrollers that calculate real-time polarization impedances and cable capacitive leakage. The system flags biofilm buildup, scaling, or cell degradation before errors impact your process.
Transitioning from standard RS485 Modbus RTU, upcoming BOQU transmitter architectures support direct Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and secure wireless MQTT protocols. This allows real-time data transmission directly to enterprise cloud platforms without dedicated intermediate gateways.
By engineering specialized fluoropolymer and chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) diamond thin films, our high-temperature research team is developing non-stick conductivity sensor heads that resist scaling in saturated scaling-brine and hot-acid applications.
Every analyzer meets strict international safety and environmental regulations, backed by global engineering support for rapid commissioning.
Full lifecycle factory trace control, dynamic testing, and environmental management protocols.
Certified immunity against electromagnetic surges, radio interference, and high-load industrial environments.
Every instrument undergoes continuous high-temperature bath calibration and 48-hour burn-in testing before dispatch.
Direct access to application engineers via phone, email, and WhatsApp for commissioning and wiring validation.

BOQU is a true manufacturer. Founded in 2007 in Shanghai, China, the company operates two specialized manufacturing facilities across Kangqiao and Lingang with over 4,632 m² of floorspace and 200+ employees. All R&D, high-temperature glass fabrication, sensor body machining, PCB surface-mounting, and final calibration are managed entirely in-house.
Contacting conductivity meters (using 2-electrode or 4-electrode cells) excel in ultra-pure and clean water applications ranging from 0.055 µS/cm to 200 µS/cm (such as RO permeate, WFI loops, and boiler condensate). Toroidal (inductive) conductivity sensors work best for values from 200 µS/cm up to 2,000 mS/cm, especially in heavily fouling, corrosive, or high-solids media like chemical recovery lines, brine monitoring, and CIP acid/caustic wash loops.
Our online analyzers feature dual isolated 4-20 mA analog outputs (loop-powered or active), high/low SPDT relay contacts for automated valve dosing, and an isolated RS485 Modbus RTU communication bus. Smart IoT digital sensor variants output Modbus directly over RS485, allowing direct integration into your PLC, DCS, or remote telemetry units (RTUs) without a separate transmitter.
Yes. BOQU operates a dedicated high-temperature sensor laboratory in China. Specialized models such as our pH5806 and DOG-208FA are built with proprietary gel electrolytes and polymer seals designed to survive repeated 130°C clean-in-place (CIP) and steam sterilization (SIP) cycles without calibration drift.
We provide full OEM and ODM services, including private labeling, customized housing colors, custom process threading (NPT, BSP, Tri-Clamp, flanged), extended cable runs, customized measuring ranges, and tailored firmware/Modbus registers. All custom configurations are backed by our dedicated in-house R&D engineering team.
To ensure our application engineers specify the correct sensor and cell constant (K), please share: (1) Target water composition and chemical media, (2) Expected conductivity/resistivity range, (3) Normal and maximum process temperatures and pressures, (4) Mechanical connection type (flow-through cell, immersion pipe, or in-line weld stub), and (5) Power supply and communication requirements.
