Fork Density Meter (FDM)
Liquid density is an important process parameter in applications as diverse as pipeline interface detection, flue gas de-sulphurization or acid concentration control. In many cases the process measurement point, conditions and the liquid itself make density measurement challenging – whether it be due to corrosion and erosion risks, high process temperatures or limited accessibility.
With Emerson’s Micro Motion Fork Density Meter you get fast-response, direct insertion density and concentration measurement that is capable of being installed in pipelines, bypass loops and tanks as well as an innovative new integral transmitter. Flexible in its communications capabilities, this new transmitter can be factory pre-configured to your specific application and reduce your system integration and set-up costs. Maintenance burdens can also be minimized through a revolutionary new meter health diagnostic – Known Density Verification (KDV).
