Abstract: densitometer is a dynamic device used to measure the density of a flowing stream. A densitometer is used to measure the density of liquid hydrocarbons and finished products like propane, gasoline and liquid mixtures such as, Y-grade natural gas liquids (NGL). This article addresses on-line liquid density measurement. There are several applications in the oil and gas industry where measured density is an important and foremost component of total liquid measurement. The major use of densitometers is to determine the mass-volume that has passed through the flow meter. This quantity may be determined either through mass or volumetric measurement techniques. A secondary use of a densitometer is to detect a pipeline product interface. One of these is the plug of liquid between two dissimilar products shipped in the same pipeline. Continuous density measurement provides a pipeline operator with the ability to monitor the density change from one batch to the next.
