Methanol Concentration Meter Inline

Working Principle

The inline methanol concentration monitor is excited by a piezoelectric tuning fork to vibrate at its natural frequency. The change of its frequency is measured when it's fully immersed in a fluid. Fluid density is in inversely proportion to frequency shift. The greater the density, the more mass the tines have to vibrate, and the lower their frequency becomes. Then an electronic circuit amplifies the detected signal and converts the physical signal to a density or concentration value.

Challenges in Inline Methanol Concentration Measurement

● Temperature and pressure changes alter methanol concentration;

● Sensor degradation over time caused by methanol with trace acids from hydrolysis;

● Fouling and deposition on sensor surfaces lead to slow response times or drift;

● Dynamic flow rates cause uneven medium contact;

● Bubbles in methanol stream reduce the effectiveness of density measuring;

Advantages of Lonnmeter Inline Methanol Concentration Meter
