In-line density meter FDM50A-ST


FDM50A-ST

Summary

FDM50A-ST is a torsional vibration type density meter for inline process applications. It can measure density and temperature in real time and continuously attached tank, and the pipe with the flange.
It is a density meter of maintenance-free because it uses a piezoelectric ceramic as the driving unit.
Density sensor portion (probe) is a complete sealed structure.
It is possible to measure density in a state of the flow of liquid with attaching to the pipe and the agitating tank.

Feature

Since the density meter adopts the rotational vibration mode and the probe tip has a density detector, FDM50A-ST is possible measurements of liquid containing particles such as slurries.
Also, in the case of a liquid containing the particles in intense sedimentation property, if a sufficient stirring, it can measure the density of the dispersed state. Cleaning is easy because it does not it use the bypass pipe, and incorporate the liquid inside equipment.
Since attachment portion of the equipment is adopted the flange, it can be installed anywhere in the tank and pipe.
The controller, displays temperature and density of the liquid in real time.
These data can be used as analog, and digital data.

Usage

Density management of slurry
The in-line measurement while ammonia water is reacting
Alcohol concentration management in the brewing process

Measurement principle

Measurement principle

FDM vibration type density meter is made up of the probe portion (detector), and the controller unit.
Resonator having a resonance frequency of about 1kHz is in the probe and the tip is a density detector.
Controller with the PLL circuit inside, controls to vibrate the prove at its resonant frequency.
When the detector is immersed in the liquid, liquid enters the inside of the detection end. Inertia mass increases by the volume(density)of entered liquid the resonance frequency of the probe will become lower.
Vibration density meter converts the value of the density from the change of the resonance frequency, Controller displays the density value.
The controller , corrects by fluid viscosity and the temperature change and converts frequency density, it has been achieved (which may be affected by the viscoelasticity measurement accuracy) density measurement accuracy ± 0.001g / cm3.
