Measure on line Concentration with Sonic Velocity
MEASURING PRINCIPLE:
Ultrasound can be used for measuring inline concentration in cases where density measurements fail to yield
the desired results. Unlike direct density measurement, ultrasonic measuring devices offer the advantage that
measurements may be performed directly in the vessel.
The sonic velocity sensor measures concentration in an inline process liquid stream. The delay
time of the sonic pulse is measured over a constant distance between the transmitter and receiver. The
relationship between sonic velocity, temperature, and concentration for different fluids is mathematically
stored in the controller's software and is used to present the correct fluid concentration. Ultra sonic
sensors measure inline concentration of liquids, crystallization and neutralization, beer, wort, and many
other processes with sound velocity technology.
