Conductivity meters: density that depends on a steady velocity

Prose

The meter infers a change in density, much as a magnetic flow meter works. An integrated display shows density characteristics in the pipe.

It is used in dredging and in high-abrasion duties where accuracy is low. The slurry visualisation looks high-tech, but the numbers behind it are low accuracy. The display is customizable, with medium computing power.

Prose

• It needs very stable flow velocities.
• Non-conductive media is outside its range.
• It suits low-density materials with a low solids percentage.
• Median accuracy, and the number on screen is low accuracy beside the visualisation.
• High cost, and it takes a high level of expertise to read.

Prose

A conductivity meter infers density from conductivity and needs a stable velocity to do it. The Red Meter reads the full bore. You get density, temperature, pressure and vibration from one device at the same moment.

You see continuous readings in Red Meter software and can send them to a third-party system. Remote support is built in. The Red Meter installs inline between flanges, with no bypass and no probe in the flow. It uses a Class 1 laser, so there is no radioactive source to license.
