On their way from the refinery to the tank farm to the airport, light mineral oils such as kerosene flow through pipelines. Rolling and hydraulic oils circulate through pumps and filters to the storage tank. As the conductivity of these oils is low, there is a high risk of electrostatic charging.
By using the MLA1000 for the stationary measurement of electrical conductivity, airports, pipeline operators or refueling companies can improve the safety of fuel transports and reduce the use of additives. Light mineral oils can thus be monitored in-line, directly and continuously.
The conductivity meter is also used as standard with silicone oils and solvents in technical and industrial processes.
In our animation you can learn more about the measuring process.
| BENEFITS | |
|---|---|
| CONTROLL | The measurement system allows a complete record of the electrical conductivity of incoming and outgoing oil. |
| MEASURING ACCURACY | With continuous feedback of the electrical conductivity the additive can be injected economically. |
| FLOW RATE | The MLA1000 conductivity meter uses the flow rate within a pipeline. |
| SAFETY | If the electrical conductivity falls below the critical value, the measuring system will give an immediate warning. |
| TECHNICAL DATA | |
|---|---|
| Conductivity | up to 15000 pS/m; simultaneous temperature measurements -20°C to 60°C |
| Outgoing signal | 4..20mA for electrical conductivity and for temperature |
