Overview

PIOX S ultrasonic density meter determines the concentration and density by means of clamp-on ultrasonic transducers mounted on the outside of the pipe. The non-invasive technology found in this inline density meter is the system of choice when substances and processes place highest demands on safety and reliability.

The sound velocity sensor PIOX S measures in real time the speed of sound through liquids. In binary liquids such as acids or sodas, the acoustic velocity is in a fixed proportion to concentration and density. PIOX S measures the sound velocity, thereby measuring the inline density and concentration of the medium.

PIOX S can be used to determine the concentration of high purity sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid or even ammonia gas used in fertilizer plants. Worries about the ultrasonic density sensor’s chemical compatibility, contamination and sealing are a thing of the past.

With the clamp-on ultrasonic density measurement technology, retrofitting of existing installations is very easy and can be done without cutting into the pipe and without any process interruption.
