Density Measurement

Nucleonic Density gauges send a focused beam of radiation from the source holder to a detector mounted on the opposite side of the process pipe or vessel.

As the density within the pipe increases, the energy reaching the detector progressively decreases and therefore process density can be calculated.

The integral HART® transmitter in the detector is pre-programmed with a density linearisation curve. Therefore it can be commissioned easily with single-point or two-point calibration.

The optional flow meter input enables the density gauge to calculate the mass flow in pipes with diameters from 50 mm to 1000 mm.
