Intrinsically Safe Density Meter targets flammable fluid market.February 18, 2011 -
Featuring UL, cUL, and ATEX certification, FuelSense(TM) provides density range of 0.6-1.3 g/cc with ±0.001 g/cc accuracy and temperature range of 5-60°C. By adding meter to existing volumetric flow meters, mass flow can be tracked in critical custody transfer operations. IP67/NEMA 4X-rated meter is also suitable for hydrogen and methane applications for density and concentration of gas mixtures. With remote data logging option, 2 GB of data can be logged and stored internally.

ISSYS Announces the Launching of the FuelSenseTM Density Meter
YPSILANTI, MI - Integrated Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISSYS) announced that it is launching a new intrinsically safe density meter, the FuelSenseTM, geared towards the flammable fluids market.
According to Doug Sparks, Executive VP of ISSYS and the Director of the Microfluidic Product Line, "This new meter will help our customers save money as fuel prices rise by monitoring the quality of the fuels and enabling accurate blending of petrochemical and biofuels. Adding a density meter to existing volumetric flow meters allows mass flow to be tracked in critical custody transfer operations. Airports are one of the first places to start using these meters to monitor jet fuel. We have obtained UL, cUL and ATEX certification for flammable liquid and gas applications. The technology can also be used for hydrogen and methane applications for density and concentration of binary gas mixtures. This will open up a wide variety of new markets for ISSYS' technology."
Dr. Nader Najafi, ISSYS President and CEO, stated that, "ISSYS' MEMS technology is a key component in this new meter. The small sensing elements give the product its size and weight advantage over the competition in the area of safe fuel monitoring. We are proud of this new product and it is our first product that has obtained a CE mark to gain access to the European market. Ethanol, biodiesel and gasoline have different densities and we can use this meter for monitoring their purity and mixing them together. It can also be used in nonflammable applications where a high quality density meter is needed and is sold under the MassSenseTM name for these markets".
