A different way to measure slurry density

Most density technologies derive a result from the way energy, motion or force interacts with process material. The Red Meter uses the deflection of a full-bore sensing tube to determine slurry density without a radioactive source.

Numbered steps

Section heading

From the line to a decision

The answer is one inline device that reads your line continuously, so you see problems while the run is still going.

  1. 01Measure

    Density, temperature, pressure and vibration, taken together, with percent solids from the meter alone. Connect your 4-20 mA flow meter signal for mass flow and totalized solids.

  2. 02Detect

    Oscillation, air in the pipe, bed load and other anomalies. Vibration is its own reading.

  3. 03Show

    See the reading live in Red Meter software, updated every second. Configuration and calibration menus are PIN secured.

  4. 04Use

    Set today's run against your best run and see where it drifted.

How the meter sits in the line

A red Red Meter mounted inline on a black pipe. A white arrow on the left is labeled Flow in, and a white arrow on the right is labeled Flow out. A red callout labeled Laser measurement points to the sensor under the sensing tube.

Density from the full bore

Slurry fills a fixed volume in the line and a Class 1 laser reads the deflection. After pressure and temperature corrections, you get density in real time.

It installs between standard flanges with no bypass line and no probe in the flow. It is rated for 0 psi and above.

Measurement principle. Flow enters on the left and leaves on the right through a full-bore tube. Callouts mark density, pressure, and temperature, and a laser sensor on the tube. Six steps: material enters, a known volume is filled, a micro deflection is read, deflection is combined with pressure and temperature, processing and calibration, and density in real time. A checklist notes non-nuclear measurement, no radiation source, and no special handling. A line notes that the meter reads flow in both directions.

Measurement principle.
