Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DM8 Vibration Type Liquid Density Meter by YOKOGAWA is designed to automate density measurement in industrial processes, improving upon the earlier Model VD6. It emphasizes labor, resource, and energy savings while ensuring stable quality.

Key Features
- High Sensitivity and Stability: Utilizes the tuning fork principle, where the frequency of vibration is determined by the liquid's density, unaffected by viscosity or flow.
- One-Touch Calibration: Simplified calibration process using standard solutions, allowing quick calibration with minimal effort.
- Digital Output: Equipped with RS-232C interface for easy connection to supervisory computers, alongside analog outputs.
- Field Configurability: Users can set measuring range, reference temperature, and temperature coefficient on-site.
- Failure Detection: Self-diagnosis function provides error indications and relay contact outputs.
- Outdoor Installation: Dust and drip-proof construction allows outdoor installation, though not in explosion-protected areas.

Specifications
- Measuring Range: 0.5 to 2.0 g/cm³
- Signal Output Span: 0.05 to 0.5 g/cm³
- Temperature Coefficient: 0 to 0.002 g/cm³/°C
- Output Signal: Analog (4 to 20 mA DC, 0 to 1 V DC) and Digital (RS-232C)
- Repeatability: 5 x 10-4 g/cm³ for digital output
- Temperature Range: -10 to 100°C for measuring liquid
- Pressure Range: Up to 2MPaG
- Vibrator Material: Stainless steel or nickel
- Power Supply: 90 to 132 V AC or 180 to 264 V AC, 50/60 Hz

Applications
The DM8 is suitable for various industries, including chemical, petrochemical, food, and paper industries. It can measure densities in processes involving phosphor slurry, silver chloride slurry, acetone solutions, caustic soda, ammonia water, various alcohols, sodium thiocyanate, vinyl acetate, naphtha, crude oil, whiskey, beer, liquor, concentrated milk, starch syrup, and sodium sulfite solutions.

Sampling System
The standard sampling system ensures accurate density measurement by monitoring temperature, pressure, and flow. It supports easy calibration and maintenance, with adjustable conditions such as inlet temperature (0 to 100°C), inlet pressure (0 to 2MPa), differential pressure (100kPa or more), and flow rate (1 to 10 L/min).

DM8 Vibration Type Liquid Density Analyzer -2

Density is one of the fundamental physical quantities required when the property or composition of a liquid sample is being determined in industrial processes. Operation of plants which previously had to depend on human perception for density measurement due to a lack of appropriate online density meters, can be automated with the advent of YOKOGAWA's Model VD6 Vibration Type Density Meter in 1967. Developed in response to user requirements, the Model VD6 put an emphasis on saving labor, resources, energy and better and more stable quality. As part of its policy of continuing development, YOKOGAWA...

Preamplifier Density signal Temperature signal Temperature measuring element Vibrator Sample Piezo-electric element Pick-up electrode Principle of the Tuning Fork The natural frequency of a tuning fork is determined by its shape and material. If the tuning fork is hollowed out and fi lled with a liquid, the vibrating frequency is determined by the liquid's density. This is the operating principle of the Model DM8 vibration type liquid density meter. High Sensitivity and Stability Stable measurement can be performed in spite of high detecting sensitivity. The density meter is not affected by viscosity...
