Micro Motion 7835 density and concentration meters

The 7835 density meter is designed for the fiscal metering of crude oil, refined hydrocarbons, and nonaggressive process liquids. It offers the highest accuracy with excellent repeatability under pipeline
operating conditions. The vibrating element is manufactured from Ni-Span-C for excellent long-term
stability and low temperature coefficient. All other wetted parts are ANSI 316L stainless steel.
Available in both explosion-proof (Ex d) and intrinsically safe (Ex ia) versions, the 7835 series offers a full
range of ATEX and CSA approved units.
The 7835 density meter is designed to operate with one of two electronic configurations:

as a meter giving a frequency output to a signal converter (such as the Micro Motion 7950 and 7951
signal converters) or flow computer.

as a transmitter with up to three integral analog outputs and Modbus RS-485 communications.
(HART protocol communications and a remote display are also available as options).

Micro Motion 7835 Density and Concentration Meters

Principle of operation
The 7835 liquid density meters use a vibrating tube to measure density. As the liquid density changes, it
affects the vibrating mass of the density meter. The change in vibrating mass then affects the resonant
frequency, which is inversely proportional to the density of the process fluid. By monitoring the resonant
frequency and applying well-known conversions, the 7835 can provide highly accurate inline density data.

Features
The 7835 density meters are factory-calibrated and no field calibration is required. The calibration is
traceable to UK National Standards through the onsite ISO/IEC17025-accredited density laboratory.
The meters measure line density and temperature, and calculate referred density using API tables or a
matrix referral. Parameters such as API and specific gravity are also available. Calculations are performed
in conjunction with a signal converter (for the frequency output version) or by the integral transmitter
electronics. Any of the parameters can be used to drive analog outputs (from either the signal converter or
the transmitter).
The design of the 7835 density meter ensures highly accurate and reliable results with minimal maintenance
and lower overall operating costs.
Measuring Instrument Directive (MID) Compliance
The 7835 density meter has been evaluated against OIML R117-1:2007 and WELMEC guide 8.8 for use in
measuring systems for the continuous and dynamic measurement of quantities of liquids other than water.
This evaluation was completed in compliance with the European Measuring Instrument Directive
(2004/22/EC) Annex MI-005. The evaluation certificate for the 7835 meter may be used, with written
permission of Mobrey Limited a division of Emerson Process Management, to assist in obtaining an
EC-type examination certificate for the complete measuring system.
System capabilities
Depending on the functionality required, the 7835 density meters are available in any of the following
configurations:

Frequency Output version (requires external signal converter / flow computer)

-

Explosion proof (Ex d) or intrinsically safe (Ex ia)

Transmitter version with integral communications (Modbus RS-485 and two 420 mA outputs)

(1) Accuracy is dependent upon the calibraton option chosen. Density range for which this accuracy applies depends on the calibration
option chosen.
(2) Stated accuracy is for operating density range of 0.3 to 1.1 g/cc (300 - 1100 kg/m3).
(3) Temperature effect is the maximum measurement offset due to process fluid temperature changing away from the density calibration
temperature.
(4) Pressure effect is defined as the change in sensor density sensitivity due to process pressure changing away from the calibration
pressure. To determine factory calibration pressure, refer to calibration document shipped with the 7835. If data is unavailable, contact
the factory.

Fluid containment
Recognizing the increased emphasis on safety by chemical, hydrocarbon, and process markets alike, these
Micro Motion density meters have been enhanced by the introduction of an optional outer 725 psi (50 bar) or
secondary 1450 psi (100 bar) pressure retaining capability. In the unlikely event of an instrument failure, the
meter safely contains any leakage. As a further safety feature, all welds are qualified to
ASME 9/EN ISO 156141 standards and can undergo dye penetration testing to ASME standards, if
required. Furthermore, the flange welds may be x-rayed to most recognized international standards.

Installation
You can mount the 7835 density meter at any angle. However, at low flow rates [such as 2.7 gallons/minute
(750 liters/hour)], we highly recommend you mount the meter vertically or at an incline with the liquid flowing
in an upwards direction. For continuous typical flow rates [such as 7.4 to 11.1 gallons/minute
(2000 to 3000 liters/hour)], you can select the mounting position based on the need to simplify the
associated pipework and minimize the pressure and temperature losses. The maximum flow rate for the
7835 meter is 60 gallons/minute (15,000 liters/hour).
