Measuring techniques for density measurement

The proportion of solid matter in a liquid is determined with the help of density measurement.
Typical applications in the process industry are the measurement of acid and lye concentrations, the mixture density of abrasive or sticky liquids and the solid matter content of sludges and slurries.

VEGA uses two different physical measuring principles for flow rate measurement:
  • Differential pressure
  • Radiometric

Differential pressure

VEGADIF: Density measurement of using differential pressure

Electronic differential pressure

Density measurement by means of electronic differential pressure

Radiation-based

MINITRAC: Density measurement using the radiometric principle
