| The PSM Denstar 290
Series insertion transmitters measure density as a function of
differential pressure. Each unit has two pressure
sensitive diaphragms, each of which are located at a
known elevation in the tank. Under normal operation both
diaphragms will be submerged, and since the distance
between them is fixed, any variation in the pressure
differential between them must be a function of the
liquid density.
Within the sensor construction the
diaphragms are hydraulically linked, the lower diaphragm
is "rated" to suit the density span whilst the
upper is compliant and provides a pressure transfer, via
the hydraulic fill, to the rear of the rated diaphragm.
Actual displacement of the lower diaphragm is measured
using the proven LVDT principle. An amplifier module
receives the LVDTs output signal and conditions it
to provide a 4 to 20 mA output over the required span.
For convenience this amplifier may be sited up to 100
Metres away from the sensor.
PSMs
unrivalled experience in the design and application of
pressure sensitive diaphragms and a versatile approach to
unit construction, ensures optimum performance on all
applications. Previous successes include drilling mud / drilling fluid storage
vessels where mechanical protection and rugged
construction are essential.
Each density transmitter is
manufactured as standard as completely submersible with a 3/4" threaded
adaptor suitable for pole suspension or clamping in place.
The PSM Denstar density
transmitter has been successfully applied in many drilling fluid/mud
applications worldwide due to it's robust construction and ease of
installation.
