Density Meters

Density Meters

Our density measuring systems work absolutely non-contacting and non-intrusive. The measurement can be carried out on all liquids and bulk materials, including highly acidic, alkali or saline solutions and suspensions.

Clamped on the outer wall of the pipeline, chute or vessel the system components do not come into contact with the measured material and are therefore not exposed to wear and tear. You will get process insight from the outside.

All our density gauges provide a maintenance-free operation and can be easily installed on existing pipelines without process down time. The measurement systems are adaptable to all pipelines from 25 to 1000mm.
