Density Test Fluid

02/12/2015 1:21 AM

Dear Engineers.

I have designed a carioles mass flow meter test bench and seeking help from you to suggest me the fluid with density (12-15 lbs/usgallon .

the fluid should be none mixable with water .oil like for example .

please do a search for me to bring this unit in action .

Best Regards

Carbon tetrachloride/tetrachloromethane.

China clay slurry.

Sewage sludge.

Strawberry jam.

It's spelled "coriolis", by the way.

thank you .

I wrote the coriolis but correction made it 'corioles' I am sorry .

my one condition was that the liquid should not mixable with water .because I want

use 2 types of liquids one of them is water .

Best regards to you I consider a bit unusual to ask us to do a research for you.

If you can write to CR4 you can also use google or any other search engine and get your information.

I would NEVER give a help to some body acting as you.

You built a test bench! Good!

You seeking a fluid that does not mix with water?! Good. Basic research would have to include to look at what an emulsion is.

You want us to do your research? Good!

I take 400 USD per hour.

Good?

You might get advice for free here but your question has to include some effort on your side.

Good! I mean Good luck!

That's the rate that IS wants to give a hoot about this problem. Sounds OK.

He probably won't get this job, but you know, sometimes the nicest way to deal with a request for a quote on something you can do or supply but really don't want to have any part of, for loads of reasons, is too quote really high and let your competitors have the headache.

I know somebody who did not want a job so quoted very high. Unfortunately he got the job - reason was if he quoted that high, he must be good!

Can be good and bad.....

If it was so high he couldn't help but make a tidy profit no matter how badly things went then that's OK. It's when you quote high and get it but you're still not high enough.....

Start here:

Tips to Effective Internet Searching - Hannon Library

Begin by typing the title of your thread into the search window.

Or maybe "immiscible fluids". Type in different variations.

Few here have any patience with those who do not contribute.

friend,

I am very surprised that you used US or Imperial units in asking your question, instead of metric units of kilograms/liter of just specific gravity (unitless). Your numbers convert to a sp.gr. of 1.4-1.8. Are you trying to get two fluids with very similar densities (specific gravities) that are immiscible, so you can study their flow in the coriolis meter?

There aren't many liquids that reach your requirements with such a high #/gal or sp. grv.. About the only consumers materials that are anywhere near it are thick glues with high solids.

A possibility would be to take a high density water soluble liquid and dilute it down to the density that you want. An example of this would be Lithium Metatungstate (LMT) Heavy Liquid with a Sp Grav of 2.95 . It is water soluble so it could be diluted to whatever you want.

I did search for you, didn't find anything useful, guess you are torqued, too bad.

Time to go design something else.

Carbon Tetra Chloride is very toxic . Your fluid weight seems strange , One Imperial Gallon of water weighs 10 pounds . You are , as I understand your bench testing machine , testing compressibility of fluid , are you not ?

Am I to understand that this is pertaining to testing hydraulic high pressure systems ?

Can you begin with a relatively benign fluid , something like low viscosity vegetable oil , and work your way towards heavier and denser fluids ?

Re: Density Test Fluid

OK all you geniuses out there, I am somewhat unfamiliar about this posting and the "coriolis effect". I am somewhat knowledgeable about the coriollis effect but certainly not an expert on the subject. In my scholarly years, years and years ago with Ben Franklin, the class must have been held on Friday afternoons. One of my academic rules was burgers and beers for lunch on Fridays. Must have missed this one.

How would the coriolis effect and high #/gallon liquids tie together for this experimentation? Also I can't understand whether the liquid in question is supposed to be water soluble, not water immiscible, is there a second liquid, is this one not water soluble such as oil and any other things you can explain to me. Yes, I can seem rather unintelligent at times and this is one of those times. On some subjects I am a expert is disguise but this isn't one of them.

Your help please!

Good Luck, Old Salt

Two things puzzle me.

1. How can someone "design" a test bench without knowing how it would work?

2. Is Kuwait located on the Equator?

Dear Lyn.

I am not asking for the bench design support I have design that already ,and normally

we test the water cement mix density with this .but the dumping of test fluid is a problem that's why I am looking for something near-about the flow/flowrate/pressure in lines /temperature monitoring have been added in the unit and also it is eligible to

test vibration effects on coriolis sensors.so the design have no connection with the fluid density ,just asking you to find something near to this .

regards

OP stated clearly "none mixable with water". We should translate that to "immiscible with water" ... as oil.

Without further information from the OP, there is no point in attempting to solve this problem for him. If he wants a heavy liquid, several have been offered that do not dissolve in water. If he wants an oily substance that is viscous and heavy, he could attempt dissolving barium or zinc stearate in oil.

No other suggestions will be offered here.
