The DENS-ITOMETER is ITS’s revolutionary densitometer that works
on the principles of electrical conductivity – earning it the
nickname “Gamma Buster” for its ability to replace conventional
nuclear-based densitometers.
The cutting-edge measurement technology found in the
DENS-ITOMETER takes concentration data independent of flow regime,
by sensing across the full diameter of a pipeline.
Concentration data is provided as a simple 4-20mA signal; where
density is required, the specific gravity of the solids can be
converted from the volumetric concentration.
What’s more, the system self-adjusts to changes in process
conditions, and has been tested on high-volume slurry lines
carrying hundreds of thousands of tonnes of material.
The density data provided by the DENS-ITOMETER has been verified
in field tests against gamma density instruments.

A proven technologyThe DENS-ITOMETER is already being used by
some of the leading dredging and mining firms across the world,
where it is able to handle extremely demanding field applications
and provide real-time information on the flow profiles of moving
solids. But it’s not just slurry monitoring where the DENS-ITOMETER
comes into its own: these systems have also been deployed in a
variety of other sectors as a basis for measuring solids content in
pipelines.
Contact ITS to advise on the suitability to your process, and
provide full installation visits and technical support as
required.
Straightforward installation The DENS-ITOMETER Package is
supplied as a pipe based sensor which can be orientated vertically,
horizontally, or inclined and a standard IP66 instrument enclosure
(see below right).
On installation, the system is easily calibrated to deliver a
concentration measurement based on the volume of solids flowing in
the pipe, all of which can be output in a number of standard
formats, including 4-20mA, Ethernet, and Profibus.
Once fitted, the DENS-ITOMETER does not require specially
trained personnel, nor does it have a nuclear source or moving
parts that will need changing or maintenance.
All of which make the DENS-ITOMETER our fastest selling
tomography package to date.
