The SoundTrack® consists of a wafer and a transmitter. The wafer is for installation between flanges in a pipeline and houses acoustic transducers that are controlled by the transmitter. The acoustic transducers produce ultrasonic pulses that are sent through the flow stream. The time of passage and the attenuation of these signals are measured directly. This information is used to derive the density and the viscosity of the liquid flowing in the pipeline. The temperature of the liquid is also measured.

SoundTrack provides analog outputs of relative density and kinematic viscosity that Operations can use to detect the passing of an interface between two liquids in a pipeline. These signals can be used to properly divert the flow into the correct tankage. SoundTrack can be used in marine fuel blending, water or gas slug determination, or any other application requiring an immediate indication of density and/or viscosity of liquid flowing through a pipeline.
