Truedyne DLO-M2 Density Sensor for liquids
Downloads
- High-Precision Measurement
- Compact Design
- Perfect for Measuring media such as petrol, diesel and methanol
The DLO-M2 sensor measures the density of liquids in a microelectromechanical system (MEMS system). Within the MEMS system, the liquid is directed to an omega-shaped microchannel, the so-called omega chip. This tiny silicon tube – it is hardly thicker than a hair – is set into oscillation for the measurement. The density of the medium can be derived from the natural frequency of this oscillation: the denser the medium, the lower the oscillation.
Thanks to the measurement in the MEMS system, the sensor is only 30 x 80 x 15 mm in size and can be accommodated even in tight spaces. The high-precision measurement results are immediately available, allowing continuous measurement during the process. The density of liquids depends on their temperature. To compensate for this effect, an integrated platinum resistor detects the temperature of the liquid.
The density sensor sends the measured data to the readout system via the data line in Modbus RTU transmission mode.
