The Profibus PA DT303 Density Transmitter (Touché) is an equipment intended for continuous measurement of liquid density, directly in industrial processes. The DT303 consists of a probe with two repeating diaphragms that are immersed in the process fluid.
A temperature sensor inside the probe located between the two repeater diaphragms automatically compensates for any variation in process temperature. Special care in the manufacture and assembly of the probe and the temperature sensor means that small variations in the process temperature are quickly informed to the transmitter, which, through a dedicated software, accurately calculates the value of the process fluid density and/or concentration. According to the industrial process, the concentration measured by DT303 can be expressed in Density, Relative Density, Brix Degree, Baumé Degree, INPM Degree, Plato Degree, % Solids, etc.
The DT303 uses the Profibus PA digital communication protocol.
It can be configured using commercially available Profibus-PA compatible programs or locally using a magnetic tool in basic operations.
The DT303 was developed according to Profile V3.0.
