Flow measuring technology for liquids, gases and steam

In-line measurement of fluid properties Conductivity, density, viscosity, concentration, build-up and gas analysis. Improve your product quality and process stability. Product quality has several aspects: On the one hand, the product must comply with national and international standards; on the other hand, it needs to live up to the consumers’ expectations. Our measuring devices support the production processes with accurate measurements of not only flow quantity, but also of several additional parameters that indicate product quality and process stability, e.g. conductivity, density, viscosity, concentration, build-up and gas properties.

Superior density measuring performance with Promass Q Density is a commonly used parameter in laboratory and process settings to characterize or identify fluids in many different applications, such as, water cut in crude oil or sugar content in syrup. Laboratory analysis of grab samples is not easy. It is time consuming and does not provide con tinuous monitoring of product quality. Promass Q masters the typical influences in a process en vironment like changes in fluid and ambient temperature, pressure and viscosity while keeping its high-performance promise. Promass Q with the Premium Density option achieves an accuracy of ±0.1 kg/m 3 (±0.0001 g/cm 3 ) making it an outstanding density meter if real-time, in-line density measurement with the performance quality of a lab device is required.

It is relevant for most industries and is used to improve process efficiency. For example, it allows to monitor CIP processes and to optimize cleaning cycles and dosage of detergents. This helps to save time and detergent usage. Another application example is to optimize intake and discharge volume of ballast water to reduce vessel fuel consumption by monitoring the salinity. Conductivity also serves as an indicator for product qual ity by detecting process impurities, e.g. due to leakages, and thus improves output quality and prevents unexpected downtime.
