Features and Benefits:

High measuring accuracy & repeatability:

  • Accuracy: ± 0.15% of measured value
  • Repeatability: 0.04% band
  • Viscosity independent (Q/v = 1:1000)
  • Negligible effect of distorted flow profiles and swirl

High reliability:

  • Multiple beams ensure redundancy and validation of results
  • Redundant electronics
  • Internal diagnostics

Multi-measurement purposes:

  • Standard volumetric flow rate and totalization
  • Additional information on Volume 15°C / 60°F (acc. to API), mass flow, reference density and VCF calculation possible with external transmitters

Low capital cost:

  • Large sizes available. High turndown ratio reduces the number of parallel flowlines i.e. meters
  • System includes sensor and flow processor
  • No strainers required
  • Long economic life
  • Easy, low cost installation
  • Many options to suit wide range of (transfer) metering needs
  • Bi-directional flow measurement possible

Low operational costs:

  • No change re-routing to different meter on changing products
  • No re-calibration when changing products
  • Negligible pressure drop, saving on extra pump capacity, and minimizing flow problems

Low maintenance costs:

  • No (mechanical) moving parts. No wear.
  • No need for periodical re-calibrations
  • Rugged and reliable design
