Density (Consistency) Meter   LQ500 

  

Introduction 

The LQ500 density (%TS, consistency) meter uses 
microwave phase shift technology to determine 
concentrations of solids in the material to be measured 
flowing through pipes. It can perform a stable and 
realtime density (%TS, consistency) measurement 
because this technology is not affected by flow velocity 
along with fluid color, and also is not easily affected by 
contaminants and low process pressure rate. As the 
LQ500 has no moving parts, it is reliable and virtually 
maintenance free. 

Since the output of the LQ500 is theoretically linear, it 
can be applied to a wide range of density (%TS, 
consistency) measurement. 

<Notice> 

The LQ500 requires a full pipe to measure the 
density (%TS, consistency). If certain amount of 
bubbles are obviously mixed in measuring media, 
there are possibilities of causing measuring error. 
Contact Toshiba before installation in the 
following cases: 

<Possibility of unfilled condition> 

(a) When it is installed at the discharge of a pump. 

(b) When installation is horizontal, and unfilled 

condition occurs inside the pipe. 

(c) A process where the pipe becomes unfilled 

when the operation is stopped.
