  • Publication number: 20180080860
    Abstract: A process for on-line density measurement for a hydrocarbon fluid. The hydrocarbon fluid is caused to flow through first and second density sensors arranged in series. The first density sensor has a first temperature and the second density sensor has a second temperature, defining a temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature. A first density measurement and second density measurement are received from the first and second density sensors, respectively. A temperature conversion factor is determined. The first density measurement or the second density measurement is corrected using the determined temperature correction factor to provide a temperature-corrected density measurement.
