A process control system, not a density meter.

The Rugged Series is a non-nuclear inline process control system for slurry and industrial pipeline applications. Installed between standard flanges, one device measures density, temperature, pressure, vibration and liner wear from the full bore of the pipe at 1 Hz, with all outputs delivered in real time via Ruby™ software. Every variable is acquired from the same sample, at the same instant.

System differentiators

  • Simultaneous measurement, one location. Removes the timing and position error of distributed instrumentation.

  • Non-intrusive, full-bore measurement. Installs without a bypass line, an inserted probe or an induced density gradient.

  • Specified for high-solids abrasive service. Linatex, Linard and Linagard liners where Coriolis tubes wear through and ultrasonic sensors lose signal.

  • Detection of previously unmeasured events. Vacuum conditions, water hammer, entrained air and oscillation on the pressure and vibration channels.
