The KAM LRW™ Low Range Watercut / BS&W meter uses a patented microwave resonance technology, responding
to the differing electrical properties of water and oil to determine water content for ranges 0-3%, 0-5% and 0-10%.
The technology is highly repeatable and offers industry-leading accuracy (±0.03% for a 0-3% range). Additionally,
proprietary AnyDensity™ technology allows the instrument to compensate for any change in density across the
entire API gravity range. Compensation is based on a density input from a mass flow meter or densitometer and
all compensation is automatic. This is paramount in situations where a single truck or rail unloading site could see
swings in API gravity from the 20s to the 60s.
The unit can be calibrated and verified in line.
The LRW's high-quality components are made and assembled entirely in the USA, providing reliable and consistent
performance for long-term use.
