The Combitec SD is a highly precise means of determining the Density and Sound Velocity of liquids, even under extreme process conditions. The density measurement is achieved through the use of an electromagnetic oscillating “U”-shaped tube. As the process medium flows through the “U”-shaped tube, the oscillation frequency is measured. The oscillation frequency is affected by any changes in density and measured accordingly.
Like density measurements, Sound Velocity is a material and concentration dependent quantity which can be used for determining the concentration of a liquid. The propagation time of a piezo-ceramic generated sound pulse is measured between the prongs of a fork shaped measuring head installed directly in the process. As this propagation time changes, the sound velocity and resulting concentration changes are measured.
