Hardware and software solutions for petrol stations

	Densimeters PLOT-3 Densimeter PLOT-3 is designed for automatic measurement of density of liquids with a maximum kinematic viscosity up to 200 mm2/s (200 cSt) in a range of temperatures from minus 40 to plus 85°С and transferring of measured values at a request to a controller of the measuring system or a personal computer through an interface “current loop” (RS-232, RS-485 using with adapters AD-1, AD-2). Area of application In the structure of automated accounting systems of clean homogeneous liquids in reservoirs at storage depots, where periodical distant measurement of density, temperature and kinematic viscosity of a liquid is requires, including reservoirs at petrol stations and petrol storage depots, at establishments of food and chemical industry. Type of explosionproof - explosion-impermeable enclosure and spark-safe electrical circuit (IExibdllВТ5 together with a spark protection barrier "Bastion"). Principle of operation - vibratory: vibration frequency of the sensing element that is submersed into a liquid is functionally related with a density of the liquid, and quality factor of a vibrating system – with kinematic viscosity. As a thermometer serves a built-in standard platinum impedance transformer. Processing of data is made by a microcontroller of MCS-51 family of AT89C52 type. Precision characteristics Maximum permissible relative error at measuring of density ±(0,035, 0,05, 0,1)% Maximum permissible absolute error at measuring of temperature ±0,3°С Maximum permissible absolute error at measuring of kinematic viscosity ±(0,4+0,04*v)mm2 /s, where v – value of kinematic viscosity, mm 2 /s

Calibration interval of PLOT-3 - 2 years.

Portable densimeter PLOT-3B-1R

Portable densimeter PLOT-3B-1R Portable densimeter PLOT-3B-1R is designed for measurement of density and temperature of a liquid in reservoir (up to 25 m height), without collection of samples: reservoirs, tankers, rail tank cars, petrol stations reservoirs, tank trucks. Allows to economize time at measurements, lower measurements errors that arise at sampling – this gives significant advantages at calculation of commodity mass of petrol and petroleum products. Submersible sensor gives a possibility to continuously measure density and temperature of the liquid at various levels. Densimeter is compact, light-weight and convenient in operation. Assignment Petrochemical industry: - manufacture and processing; - transportation and storage; - acceptance and shipment of oil and petroleum products.
