Densitometer

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000996

An instrument that provides a continuous, real-time measurement of the density of a fluid flowing through a pipe. In well intervention, it is installed in the return flowline to monitor the density of drilling mud, cement slurry, or other treatment fluids. The measurement, often expressed in pounds per gallon (ppg) or kilograms per cubic meter, indicates fluid composition, solids content, and the presence of gas influx.
