Model P10
Continuous in-line measurement for 10″ process pipelines
10″ Pipeline Sensor for Brix, Total Solids & Density Measurement
Continuous in-line concentration measurement directly in 10″ process pipelines. The sensor measures total solids content — including both dissolved and suspended components — delivering stable, real-time data under the highest-capacity flow conditions without bypass loops or sample extraction.
Designed for the largest industrial operations including major sugar mills, high-volume food & beverage facilities, large-scale dairy plants, and chemical processing where robust measurement and coating resistance are critical for maximum-capacity continuous production control.

What is the Inmec Model P10?
The Model P10 is a digital microwave sensor for continuous Brix, total solids and density measurement in 10″ process pipelines. It measures the flowing product directly in the line, without bypass loops or sample extraction.
Where is the Model P10 used?
The Model P10 is built for the largest operations. In sugar mills it is used in main mill circulation systems, primary evaporator body connections, high-capacity crystallizer circulation and major process distribution mains. It is also used in primary food and beverage production mains, main milk reception and whey mains, and major chemical circulation and transfer lines.
Does the Model P10 measure suspended solids as well as dissolved solids?
Yes. The Model P10 measures total solids, both dissolved and suspended, across the flowing product. This suits opaque, viscous and coating-prone streams and slurries, where optical sensors that measure only dissolved solids at a prism surface struggle.
Does coating or buildup affect the Model P10 measurement?
No. The digital microwave measurement extends into the product volume, so the signal stays stable when coating or buildup on the sensor surface is part of normal operation.
Which Inmec pipeline sensor size should I choose?
Choose the model that matches the pipe size: the P2 fits 2″ (DN50), the P4 4″ (DN100), the P6 6″ (DN150), the P8 8″ (DN200) and the P10 10″ (DN250) industrial process pipelines, all with a flanged fitting. For sanitary lines of 1.5–3″ (DN40–DN80) with a Tri-Clamp connection, use the Model P-TC, and for tanks and vessels the Model IL. All use the same digital microwave measurement.
How is the Model P10 installed?
The Model P10 installs directly in a 10″ (DN250) pipeline with a flanged process fitting. The pipe must run full, and a process pressure of at least 1.5 bar is recommended to avoid free air at the sensor.
Does the Model P10 need a separate transmitter?
No. All signal processing takes place in the sensor itself. It provides 4–20 mA outputs for total solids and temperature, active and isolated, with a maximum load of 750 Ω, directly to the PLC or DCS.
What are the measurement range and accuracy of the Model P10?
The measurement range is 0–95 % Brix or total solids, factory configured to the customer’s specific total solids or density range. Accuracy and repeatability are ±0.01 % concentration, sensitivity is ±0.001 % and measuring resolution is 0.01 %.
What process conditions does the Model P10 handle?
The Model P10 operates at pH 3–14 and 0–140 °C, with an AISI 316L sensor body. A process pressure of at least 1.5 bar is recommended to avoid free air at the sensor.
What warranty does the Model P10 have?
The Model P10 comes with a 3-year warranty, reflecting its long-term stability in continuous industrial operation.
