Endress+Hauser has released a low cost, liquiphant m sensor that has the ability to measure the inline density of liquids.
According to the company, the sensor uses the ‘vibrating fork’ principle to accurately measure the liquid density.
The resonant frequency of the Liquiphant M’s vibrating fork changes with the varying densities of the materials in which it is placed.
This change is used to compute the density or concentration of the medium resulting in instantaneous, repeatable density measurements.
The sensor offers a cost-effective alternative and provides reliable inline density measurement at a glance.
This allows immediate adjustments to the process and increases plant availability, improves process control and reduces material wastage.
The device can be used as a dual-purpose probe — to measure density and monitor liquid levels.
A typical application is dry-run protection where a density measuring probe switches over to measure level at the end of a process and advises the operator to stop the pump once the vessel is empty.
