::: Unique Density & Concentration Meters

L-Dens 4X7 Series

Process Density Sensors
30 Years of Experience in Process Analytics
Thirty years of experience in process
density and concentration measurement are embodied
in the L-Dens 4X7 series of density sensors from Anton Paar. They are
ideal for use in the petroleum, chemical and beverage industries.
Using continuous density measurement with L-Dens 4X7 sensors allows you to increase your
plants productivity. Consumption of raw materials and energy is minimized and the production
runs at maximum capacity. L-Dens 4X7 sensors have low operating and integration costs and
provide precise results. The wide range of L-Dens 4X7 sensors includes different materials,
process connections and electrical interfaces to ensure the best integration into your plant.
Low integration costs
To keep your costs for integration as low as possible, the
L-Dens 4X7 sensors are small, lightweight and compact.
They are mounted with minimum integration work directly in-
line or in a bypass and require no extra support. The sensors
come with standard data interfaces and therefore allow quick
connection to common PLCs and ow computers.
Fit and forget
After installation the robust sensors measure for years with
the highest precision. L-Dens 4X7 sensors have no moving
parts and therefore require no maintenance. You can t the
sensor and forget it, simply relying on measurement at the
highest accuracy.
Long life
The L-Dens 4X7 density sensors are developed for the long
run. Today, density sensors from Anton Paar which were
installed in the mid-1980s are still delivering reliable values
with the same high level of accuracy as on their rst day in
operation.
Highest accuracy
L-Dens 4X7 sensors measure with the highest precision.
A measuring accuracy of 0.0001 g/cm is outstanding for
density measurement in process. This accuracy makes
them ideal for use in custody transfer.

Material wetted parts
The X in the sensor name stands for the material of the wetted parts:
Stainless steel or Hastelloy. Choose a material to suit the corrosiveness
of your sample and cleaning agent. Anton Paars team of specialists
helps you choose the right L-Dens 4X7 sensor for your application.
Connection
An L-Dens 4X7 sensor can be installed directly in the production line
or in a bypass. The sensor is compact and only weighs around
3 kilograms. It can be easily integrated into measuring stations
or skids without costly changes to pipelines.
You choose the connection to suit your plant: Varivent, Swagelok,
DIN, and ANSI adapters. Custom-made connections are available
on request.
Interfaces
The L-Dens 4X7 sensors use a data interface compatible to your
process control system.
Straight to the Anton Paar evaluation unit: L-Dens 4X7E
The powerful Anton Paar evaluation unit mPDS 1100 or mPDS 5
calculates the compensated density, concentration values or further
deduced properties and makes them available at standard interfaces.
To make life easier, the evaluation units are simple to congure and the
results are easy to read off the display.
Straight to the PLC: L-Dens 4X7T
L-Dens 4X7T measures density and temperature and calculates the
compensated density or concentrations. The Modbus and HART
interfaces with the 4 to 20 mA analog signal enable simple connection
to your control system.
Straight to the ow computer: L-Dens 4X7F
The frequency output transfers a signal which is proportional to the
oscillating frequency to the ow computer. Together with the measured
uid temperature the density is calculated in the ow computer.
A Combination to
Protection
The L-Dens 4X7 sensors meet your safety requirements. Choose the
ATEX- and FM-approved sensors for installation in a hazardous area.
Applications
The L-Dens 4X7 series measures density at a high level of accuracy.
The sensors are designed for scal measurements, determination of
concentration and phase recognition. Exact monitoring of production
with an L-Dens 4X7 sensor results in increased productivity and
reduced consumption of raw materials and energy.
