Some applications need special considerations.
This may include crude export lines with varying
amounts of water cut, high temperature hot oil applications,
produced water and applications where conventional
meters or even inline ultrasonic flowmeters will
fail. The EESIFLO Hybrid Flowmeter is a another
solution. We guarantee it works !
The EESIFLO Hybrid Spool is is available in pipe
sizes ranging from 4 to 42 inches and from 150 ANSI
to 1500 ANSI . It can be installed in general industry
applications and in also in hazardous environments
(Zone 1) . A standard system will normally be delivered
with standard documentation which include traceable
pressure and functional tests or with optional requirements
such as NACE compliance , client painting specifications
or other additional requirements such as radiographic
testing.
Spool piece construction materials are available
in Carbon steel, stainless steel and Duplex. The
Hybrid has been designed to work in flow applications
where transducer mounting is fixed and cannot be
easily tampered with. The system employs either
single or dual path permanently coupled non-intrusive
ultrasonic sensors mounted to a spool. This configuration
provides full flow and zero pressure drop. The measurement
technique used enables reliable flow data even during
temperature fluctuation, a high turn-down ratio
and ability to work at high temperatures. Advanced
ultrasonic transducer technology combined signal
processing optimized for speed and robustness, provide
the capability of the system to operate even in
applications where conventional meters are unable
to operate due to technology constraints over extended
time periods.
The Hybrid spool is an alternative to
wetted transducers which protrude into the pipe .
The spool pieces are manufactured with smooth walls
which increase signal attenuation and without the
use of any form of grease or couplant between the
sensor and pipe wall. This has great advantages in
many applications where coupling compounds are not
practical. The positioning of the sensors allows for
some degree of change in refractive index due to a
change in the liquid make up or temperature so that
the signal is not lost from process variations. This
could include temperature changes or some liquid variations
. The non-intrusive sensors and electronics are not
affected by process conditions and do not experience
sensor coating or fouling enabling the system to work
for extremely long periods of time and are maintenance
free.
The Hybrid system is ideal for use wherever accurate,
reliable and economical long-term flow measurement
is critical to process and product quality. This includes
applications such as hot /cold water mixtures of water/oil
, produced water , fossil fuels and high temperature
flow measurement. Measurement is non contaminating,
obstructionless and causes no pressure drop.
