Product Overview
Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Sarasota SG901 specific gravity analyzer is
recommended in applications where specific gravity (SG), molecular weight
(MW), or density at reference conditions (D@ref) can be used in the plant
instead of density at-line conditions. In applications where the process gas
is too dirty, too hot, or at too high a pressure, the Sarasota SG901 allows
for pre-conditioning of the process stream so a measurement can be made.
Typical applications include:

Energy determination

Blending control

Standard volume control

Fuel gas monitoring

Process efficiency

SG for density determination at other parts of the process
The Sarasota SG901 is available in three standard configurations, or
systems, which may be selected based on the condition of the sample
stream. They are the basic system, the wet gas system, and the dry gas
system.
Note that all three systems may have a steam or electric heater mounted
within the enclosure so that the sample gas can be maintained above its
dew point. They are also available with the frequency output or headmount
option (see “Operation” for more on these options).
