Densimeter
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000995
An instrument used to measure the density (mass per unit volume) of a fluid, such as drilling mud, cement slurry, or produced oil and water. In production testing, it is a component of a multiphase flow meter or test separator package that provides real-time fluid density measurements. This data is used in combination with other measurements to calculate the individual flow rates of oil, water, and gas in a commingled stream.
