Pipeline Industry

Liquid Density Measurement

Dynatrol^® Systems are used worldwide in pipeline applications for measurement and control of density, specific gravity, API gravity or percent concentration. Typical applications are custody transfer or interface measurement and may include crude oil, refined products or various other chemicals.

The Dynatrol Density Cell is used to measure the liquid being transported in the pipeline. The Cell’s operation is extremely accurate and dependable, requiring no pressure compensation.

Working with the Density Cell, the Dynatrol Digital Converter translates the product density and temperature readings into the customers’ required units of measurement. For example, if a United States pipeline requires the American Petroleum Institute (API) scale or a Canadian Pipeline requires output in kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m 3), Dynatrol electronics are programmed for each application’s specific measurement needs.

The Dynatrol Systems are user-friendly. Converters come pre-programmed for simple calibration. Many Dynatrol Density Cells have sustained accuracy in the field without need of service for over 20 years!
