Rhosonics - Slurry Density Meter (ECO)
The Rhosonics SDM stands for Slurry Density Meter, which is a category of instruments that allows for measuring the density of slurries in real-time. This instrument uses a non-intrusive ultrasonic sensor to measure the real-time density of mineral slurries under high-density levels and at very large pipes. Moreover, the SDMs have a robust design with sensors made of highly abrasion-resistant materials, making them ideal for rough process conditions. Rhosonics helps mineral processing plants and other industries to replace nuclear density gauges by non-hazardous ultrasonic technology. Consequently, operators can achieve process optimization in a safer, more reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective way. This is how Rhosonics contributes to a greener and smarter industry. On November 2nd, 2023, Rhosonics released the latest version of the SDM, the SDM ECO. The SDM ECO is an upgrade of the SDM-4 in terms of accuracy, response time, operating temperature range, and sensor design. In addition to that, the SDM ECO can be controlled by a 7’’ touchscreen display, laptop, via optional Wi-Fi, or from anywhere with server access.
The major features and benefits of the SDMs are:
- Real-time slurry density monitoring
- Accurate and reliable density measurements under all conditions
- Abrasion-resistant sensors
- Easy to install and maintain
- Easy to use by 7″ touchscreen display
- Safe technology (non-nuclear)
- Can be used in half-filled pipes
Wafer
The UWC, a synthetic flange-like ring made of UHPE, is 60 mm thick and can be clamped between two flanges in almost every piping system.
Spool-piece
A spool, which can be made of HDPE, steel A106/A105, or other steel grades, is a pipe piece that can be mounted between two flanges. This installation method can be optionally available with a PU liner and other liners upon request. Furthermore, the choice of materials can differ depending on the application. The spool-piece is mainly useful with abrasive applications
