The L-Dens 7400 Ex d is a compact, flameproof inline density sensor for continuous measurement of density, concentration and API gravity, offering high accuracy and stability for fiscal density measurement. It is used at refineries, production plants and in storage, transport and delivery of petroleum and biofuel products, measuring low-viscosity, non-corrosive fluids such as refinery intermediates and finished products, crude oil, LPG, ethanol, biodiesel and chemicals. Typical uses include online density, mass flow determination with a volumetric meter, product interface detection, blending and quality control during loading and unloading.
