ultrasound
Stringent licencing regulations for nuclear gauges are encouraging users to seek a non-hazardous alternative, according to Canada-based Markland Specialty Engineering
Stringent licencing regulations for nuclear gauges are encouraging users to seek a non-hazardous alternative, according to Canada-based Markland Specialty Engineering Non-hazardous suspended solids measurement using ultrasound can replace nuclear type density meters
A demonstration of the principle is available on the animated website of this Toronto company, where viewers can see how the attenuation of ultrasound measures concentration.
The sonic transducers fit flush with the pipe wall, and so there are no intrusions into the flow, which avoids fouling with stringy sewage sludge.
The Markland Model 502 has an LCD local readout of percent solids; 4-20 mA output; two set-point relays; and an RS-232/485 serial port.
The microprocessor is housed in a NEMA-4X enclosure, and features advanced diagnostics, pushbutton calibration, and dynamic dampening.
