LQ300 Microwave Density Meter
The LQ300 Microwave Density Meter uses a new principle, microwave phase difference measurement, to determine the density (consistency) of fluids flowing through pipes. This method exploits the way fluid density affects the propagation of microwaves when they pass through it. This allows the reliable measurement of the fluid's density by monitoring the difference in microwave phase between the original wave and one passed through the measured fluid. Unlike the method monitoring the attenuation of a transmitted wave, measuring fluid density by observing a wave's phase difference is unaffected by flow velocity and is resistant to the affects of contamination, scaling, fouling, and or bubbles.
