Webinar   

Taking liquid and gas hydrocarbon flow measurement to a new level of perfomance

Martin Dingman of Siemens Industry, Inc. discusses the new FS230 clamp-on ultrasonic meters for liquid and gas hydrocarbon flow measurement. Topics covered are theory of operation, innovative features and benefits, liquid and gas hydrocarbon applications, installation tips and tricks, and selection criteria. 

Benefits

One of the world’s first digital ultrasonic flow systems, the FS230 features among others:

  • Market-leading accuracy and repeatability – Accuracy of 0.5 to 1.0% of flow rate for all liquids/pipe sizes and repeatability of 0.25% according to ISO 11631
  • Available internal AGA 9 gas tables - Simplifying correction for temperature and pressure variations in gas flow
  • Industry-leading 100 Hz data update rate – Detects even the smallest variations in flow 100 times a second
  • Three resettable totalizers - Allowing simultaneous totalizing for daily, monthly and annual lease production
  • Easy to read and use graphic Human Machine Interface (HMI) – Offers intuitive menu-driven navigation as well as step-by-step setup and troubleshooting wizards, with up to 6 user-configurable views on display at a time
  • SensorFlash® internal, non-volatile data storage – Stores settings, calibration/ datalogger information and certificates for easy servicing and increased uptime
  • Versatile sensors  – Requires little to no maintenance and can be installed on pipes as small as 0.5 inches and as large as 394 inches (33ft) without issue
