DC-1510

0% to 50%
ATEX Zone 1
rapid response

A water in oil transmitter designed for on-line monitoring of oil and other non-conductive liquids.

This device provides on-line monitoring of crude, fuel, hydraulic and lubricating oils for traces of water with equal accuracy, for alerting operators to the danger of water breakthrough, or as a quality control check on custody transfer applications.

The DC-1510 monitor operates on the capacitance principle: the higher the water cut the greater the capacitance. The microprocessor-based electronics incorporate sophisticated algorithms to compensate for temperature and dielectric variations, which facilitates high resolution and stable results.

Robust engineering, combined with a 4 to 20 mA output, makes this a reliable and easy to use instrument for water or base sediment and water (BS&W) for precise measurement of water volume between 0 % and 80 %.

The DC-1510 is suitable for by-pass or slip-stream type installations. This method can be installed on systems with small pipe diameters, offering ease of calibration and sampling. (See DC-3510 for direct insertion option.)

Installation of the DC-1510 is simple. Adequate flow is required to ensure that 'free' water does not drop out within the monitor or sample system, and that the take off point provides a representative sample.
