(MW), or density at reference conditions (D@ref) can be used in the plant instead of density at-line conditions. In applications where the process gas is too dirty, too hot, or at too high a pressure, the Sarasota SG901 allows for pre-conditioning of the process stream so a measurement can be made.
A calibration tee, fitted to the inlet pipe of the density meter assembly, allows for tapping to the calibration valve. The calibration tee facilitates purging and accurate calibration of the pressure transmitter and SG system. Sarasota SG901 User Guide Thermo Fisher Scientific...

Operation With the frequency output option, signal outputs from the transducers are fed to a Thermo Scientific Sarasota density converter, which calculates the density (measured), D@ref, SG, and MW of the gas and provides corresponding 4–20 mA current outputs. All variables and calculated values can be displayed on the front panel of the converter.
1/4-inch bulkhead unions. Inlet piping should be kept as short Tubing as possible to minimize system response time. The pressure available at the inlet to the Sarasota SG901 system should be at least 0.4 bar (6 psi) above the control pressure set in the system to ensure regulation.
Note It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that local requirements are met. Cable Specification The cable specification for the Sarasota SG901 analyzer is: BS5308 part 1 : 1986 : type 2 Polyethylene insulated, bedded, single wire armored, PVC sheathed, five twisted pairs with individual screens, core size 0.5 mm².
