Stream Switching and Calibration Systems
Coordinated Sample Routing and Calibration Support for Process Analyzers
Process analyzer systems may need to measure multiple process streams or periodically receive calibration media. AES integrates stream switching and calibration components into custom analyzer packages based on the system design, operating sequence, and control requirements.
Multiple Streams
Route several points to one analyzer
Calibration
Deliver known reference media
Valves & Manifolds
Actuated selection hardware
Control
Pneumatic, electrical, PLC
What It Is
What Is a Stream Switching System?
A stream switching system routes selected process streams to an analyzer.
Integration
Custom System Integration
AES assembles stream switching and calibration systems using customer-provided drawings, specifications, control requirements, and selected components.
Start From Your Drawings →Depending on the project design, an assembly may include:
As One System
Integration with the Analyzer Package
Stream switching and calibration equipment must work with the analyzer, sample conditioning system, controls, and process connections as a coordinated system.

Calibration
What Is an Analyzer Calibration System?
A calibration system supplies a known reference material to the analyzer so its response can be checked or adjusted according to the operating procedure.
Calibration components may be integrated with the stream switching assembly, allowing the system to route process samples and specified calibration media through a coordinated arrangement of valves, tubing, controls, and related equipment.
Coordinated with the switching assembly to route:
Industrial Applications
Supporting Industrial Analytical Applications
AES can support one-of-a-kind assemblies, project-specific packages, and repeat production systems built from customer-provided designs and specifications.
Build types:
Why are multiple process streams routed to one analyzer?
Routing multiple streams to shared analytical equipment may reduce equipment duplication and allow a coordinated system to monitor multiple measurement points. Whether this approach is appropriate depends on the process, analyzer, measurement frequency, and required response time.
Can calibration components be incorporated into the switching system?
Yes. Calibration connections, valves, controls, and related components may be integrated with the stream switching assembly when included in the system design.
Can AES build automated stream switching systems?
AES can integrate valves, electrical components, controllers, and programmable controls according to the customer’s drawings and specified operating requirements.
Discuss Your Switching and Calibration Requirements
AES can fabricate an individual stream switching assembly or integrate switching and calibration equipment into a complete process analyzer package.
