The DT300 “Touché” Intelligent Density Transmitter is an instrument developed for the continuous, online measurement of liquid density and concentration, directly in the industrial process.

Its pioneer technology consists of a capacitive type differential pressure sensor coupled to a pair of pressure repeaters immersed in the process. A temperature sensor located between the two pressure repeaters is used to compensate the temperature variations in the process fluid.
A dedicated software, by means of an algorithm, calculates the fluid density.

Depending on the industrial process, density may be expressed in g/cm3, Kg/m3, lb/ft3, Specific Gravity, Brix degree, Gay-Lussac degree, Baumé degree, Plato degree, INPM degree, API degree, Solids %, Concentration %, etc.

Designed for process control applications, these 2-wire transmitters generate a signal proportional to the concentration/density. Digital communication for remote calibration and monitoring is also provided.

The DT300 “Touché” is available in two models:

  • DT300I (Industrial Model) for general purpose;
  • DT300S (Sanitary Model) for food and other applications where sanitary connections are required.

Both models have two mounting types: top mounting (straight type) and side mounting (curved type).
Installation may be done either in open or pressurized tanks, or directly in pipes since the DT300 is suitable for dynamic and static fluids.

The Sanitary model that meet 3-A Certification (Authorization N° 1399) uses a Tri-Clamp connection to allow a quick and easy connection and disconnection from the process. The wetted surface finish is polished and then is free of crevices where food or bacteria can be collected. 3A is the most widely accepted sanitary standard in the food, drug and beverage industry.

 

Applications:

  • Sugar and Alcohol Processing Plants:
    Brix of the sugarcane juice, brix of the must, brix of the syrup, brix of the molasses, brix of the solved juice, calcium solution of the Baumé, interface level of the hexane cycle, lime density, INPM degree of the hydrated alcohol, INPM degree of the anhydrid alcohol, etc.
  • Dairy Product Industries:
    Condensed milk, Lactose, Yogurt, Cream cheeses, Lactic Acids, etc.
  • Food Industry:
    Vegetable oils, miscellaneous extractions, fruit syrup, starch dilution, glucose, jams, jellies, sweets, honey, tomato pulp, citrus juices, etc.
  • Pulp and Paper Industries:
    Black liquor, green liquor, white liquor, red liquor, caustic soda concentration, ash dilution, talc dilution, pulp dilution, ink concentration, potassium hydroxide, etc.
  • Beverage Industry:
    Beer (Plato degree in the fermentation process) Soft Drinks (brix of the liquid sugar, etc.), liquors, wines, soluble coffee, malt, tequila, etc.
  • Chemical Industry: Acids, concentration/mixture, caustic soda, glycol, salt solution, detergent, toluene, urea, potassium, etc.

DT300 Series are available in three different technologies: HART® (DT301), Foundation fieldbusTM (DT302) and PROFIBUS PA (DT303). These instruments can be configured with Smar software and other manufacturers’ configuration tools.

Local adjustment is available in DT302 and DT303. For these models is possible to configure concentration adjust, self-calibration, direct density or concentration readout in engineering units and other control functions using the magnetic screwdriver. Smar has developed Asset View, which is a user-friendly Web Tool that can be accessed anywhere and anytime using an Internet browser. It is designed for management and diagnostics of field devices to ensure reactive, preventive, predictive and proactive maintenance.

DT301 (HART® protocol) can be configured by:

  • CONF401 for Windows and UNIX;
  • DDCON100 for Windows and UNIX;
  • HPC301 for several models of Palms*;
  • Other manufacturers’ configuration tools based on DD (Device Description) or DTM (Device Type Manager), such as AMSTM, FieldCareTM, PACTwareTM, HHT275 and HHT375, PRM Device Viewer.

For DT301 management and diagnostics, Asset View ensures continuous information monitoring.
*Requires the HPI311 or HPI321 interface.

DT301 - Transmissores de Densidade

DT302 utilizes the Foundation fieldbusTM H1 protocol, an open technology that allows any H1 enabled configuration tool to configure this device.
Syscon302 (System Configuration Tool) is a software tool used to configure, maintain and operate the field devices. Syscon offers efficient and friendly interaction with the user, using Windows NT version 4.0 or later, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Configuration tools such as AMSTM and HHT375 can configure DT302 devices. DD (Device Description) and CF (Capability File) files can be downloaded at either the Smar or Fieldbus Foundation website.
DT302 supports complex strategies configurations due to the high capacity and variety of dynamic instantiable function blocks.

Seventeen different types of function blocks are supported, and up to 20 function blocks can be running simultaneously. Maintenance procedures with Asset View diagnostics and status information from Foundation fieldbusTM result in a safer plant with longer availability.

DT300

DT303 (PROFIBUS PA protocol) can be configured using Simatic PDM and by the FDT (Field Device Tool) and DTM (Device Type Manager) concept tools, such as FieldCareTM and PACTwareTM. It can also be integrated by any PROFIBUS System using the GSD file.

PROFIBUS PA also has quality and diagnostic information, improving plant management and maintenance.
