Abstract
A flow cell for monitoring operating fluid in an environment with elevated temperature and/or pressure comprises a body having a body aperture. The body aperture provides opposing inlet and outlet flow slits that are disposed within a wall maintained by the body aperture. The body aperture is configured to receive upper and lower transparent plates that are separated by a pair of spaced shims. The spaced shims define a flow channel between the plates, which is aligned with the inlet and outlet flow slits. A retainer is attached by suitable fasteners to retain the plates and shims in place, and thus sealing the flow of operating fluid through the flow channel from the external environment.
