Abstract: A clamp-on radiometric density meter type DT-9315 has been tested on export oil at the BP Ula platform from May 28 to October 5, 2015. The test has been executed in comparison with fast loop-bypass installed Solartron meter(s). Due to a maintenance shut the efficient duration of the test is 105 days. The results show that the radiometric meter provides fast and reliable density values with high correlation to the Solartron meters. With exception of short term process disturbances the daily average density difference throughout the test is 0.19 kg/m. Standard Deviation of the difference is 0.44 kg/m3. The difference increases with higher or lower flowrates outside a middle range, and temporarily after change of Solartron line. No instability or signal drift of the DT-9315 is observed during the test.
