Slurry Density Measurement

Is there any link with the earlier post by Enrique Rengel?

He talks about an inline weighing device.
Gravitrol style perhaps?
 
I didn't read all the way through the blog, but the indications I got is a Coriolis meter would not last. However, my experience with Krohne's Optimass 7000 Series would indicate otherwise. We've had them installed for quite some time on lime slurry and they have performed well from a stability, accuracy, and reliability standpoint. This straight, single tube design made from titanium is worth investigating further.
 
Here we are in 2019 and I'm reading all these suggestions for non-nuclear densometers:

This thread suggests the Sciam DS3 back in 2012 - they no longer exist. Another thread from 2015 suggests the MPV MassExact - they no longer exist.

I just stumbled upon REDmeters RM_ series.

As best I can tell, it's the same product through several corporate rebrandings. The tech seems simple: measuring the deflection of a rubber pipe. Now, does it actually work?
 
This thread has been very informative. I have many customers who need non-nuclear.

Straight tube Coriolis makes sense - Krohne should have application references.

I'm also waiting on a response from Red.

Ultrasonic options seem to be weak at moderate/high percentage solids values.

I'll be looking into the pressure measurement approach mentioned many times in this thread. Perhaps a good low cost...decent approach (?)
