Here’s an explosionproof-flameproof certified version of the Micro Motion 7835 custody transfer density meter.

This new version includes all features and performance of the 7835 density meter.

Certified to ATEX II 2 G EEx d IIC T6 and T4 (EN50014 and EN50020 for use in Europe), this range of liquid density meters is suited for custody transfer and fiscal applications as well as routine control applications in chemical operations.

The 7835 Series offers high accuracy measurement in what the firm says is a low maintenance and highly versatile unit. The vibrating element is manufactured from Ni-Span-C for long term stability and low temperature coefficient. All other wetted parts are ANSI 316L stainless steel. There are no moving parts or seals, and the unit is unaffected by vibration or by variations in flow and pressure. Its straight-through design is easy to install and clean and minimizes pressure drop for better energy efficiency, the company notes.

Depending on the functionality required, meters can be specified as a frequency output sensor version (requires external signal converter or flow computer) or as a transmitter version with integral communications (Modbus RS-485 and two 4-20 ma outputs).
