The turbine flowmeters are on the market since 1925 and they have proved their worth in various applications, including the harsh ones in the Oil & Gas sector.

The turbine flowmeter Tecnova ht can operate at very high temperatures and pressures. It is intended for applications involving liquid, gaseous and cryogenic materials (never steam).

The flowmeters do not require maintenance and can be made of different materials, such as Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex, Hastelloy.

The turbine flowmeter Tecnova ht brings many advantages and guarantees a refined mechanics and high precision with an immediate response time.

The turbine flowmeter calculates the flow rate of the fluid in relation to its speed: thanks to the thrust of the fluid, the rotation speed is linear to the flow. The coil is equipped with a permanent magnet and, once the passage of the blade is detected, the pick-up sends a pulse. The volume of the poured fluid is indicated by the total of the pulses. Their frequency also indicates the flow rate: Q = K * nmt

Q = volumetric flow rate
K = Constant of Proportionality of each turbine (k-factor)
Nmt = number of turns

The K constant, indicated on the meter body and on the calibration certificates, is calculated through the calibration of the flowmeter.

The flowmeters of the new AQ-Rate 300 series are instruments for measuring the mass of hydrocarbon and fuel oil in the liquid phase.

These flowmeters are provided with flanged connections splitting internally into two smaller tubes identical to one another and shaped like a V. Their resonance frequencies are induced in the opposite direction between them. At the passage of the fluid in the tubes, the input section of the V-shape starts vibrating at the same frequency of the output section, but with a time delta called mismatch. The magnitude of this mismatch is proportional to the mass flow through the tube, while the density of the liquid in question is given by the frequency of the complete system. It is also possible to obtain the volumetric measurement by dividing the mass flow for the density.

The meters of the AQ-Rate 300 series are equipped with integrated totaliser transmitter, replaceable by remote electronics for applications in harsh environments, high temperatures or strong vibrations.

Equipped with an LCD color screen, the portable ultrasonic flowmeter Portaflow-C is very simple to configure and use. It also allows you to store a very high amount of information (about 2 years of measurements), by saving it on a SD card. An algorithm can also calculate the amount of energy stored and released from the liquid during cooling and heating operations.

The ultrasonic flowmeters TIME DELTA-C and C-PORTAFLOW are the latest generation devices using the transit-time measurement technology, and allow you to make any non-intrusive flow measurement executable on-site, even with the calculation of calories/frigories exchanged.

TIME DELTA-C and PORTAFLOW are particularly suitable for measuring liquids (temperature between 40 and +200° C) and have a great advantage: the sensors are attached on the exterior of the pipe, without cutting or drilling it. The 32 bits microprocessor allows highly accurate measurement (± 1%), very short response times (1 second maximum) and an excellent resistance to the formation of air bubbles (ABM system) and to changes in pressure and temperature of the fluid (continuous calculation of the whole sonic speed).

PORTAFLOW-C is available for a free trial!

FEATURES

• Compact and easy to handle
• Rechargeable, with an electric range of 12h
• Includes a wide variety of sensors for tubes from 13 to 6,000 mm in diameter
• Maximum accuracy guaranteed (margin of error: ± 1.0%)
• ABM technology (anti-bubble measurement) for measurements even in the presence of gas bubbles or particulate
• Large backlit color display for ease of configuration
• Provided with SD card for storing huge amounts of data (up to 2 years of measurements)
• USB port and installation software for easy connection to PC
• Operating as calories and frigories counter, both in heating and cooling circuits

V-Cone flowmeter

The V-Cone is composed of a metal cone and a socket piece which is welded or flanged – DIN or ANSI, Weld Neck, Slip-On or wafer – to the process piping. The cone reduces the cross sectional flow area of the fluid, by subjecting it to a huge increase in speed due to the progressive narrowing of the toroidal section. The increase in speed causes a pressure drop which is detected by a hole located in the rear part of the cone. The difference between the two pressures, upstream and downstream of the cone, is returned via tubing to the classical manifold configuration & differential pressure transmitter.

The V-Cone is suitable for measurement of liquids, gases and steam (both saturated or overheated) and is especially recommended for applications involving fluids with particles or bubbles, vapor with drops of condensate, gas with particulates, wet biogas. The non-congruent phase slips between the cone and the piping without affecting the measure and thus ensuring maximum efficiency.

The V-Cone guarantees an accuracy from 0.5% to 1% in reading, ensured by the certified calibration with water, air or natural gas and is able to handle different process conditions thanks to the Turn Down. Furthermore, using the V-Cone  allows you to considerably reduce the loss of Permanent Headloss Load, keeping it lower than any flange or venturi.

Provided with PED certification, The V-Cone flowmeter is available with ND from ½” to 120” and rating from #150 to #2500. Furthermore, it can be built in CS, LTCS, SS 304 / L, SS 316 / L, P9, P11, Hastelloy, Monel, Duplex on request.

As it is provided without moving parts, the V-Cone meter requires no maintenance and can also be installed in vertical sections, with flows going either up and down.

The V-Cone is particularly effective in a number of critical applications in which other meters instead show their limits:

• Cooling Water or BFW
• Three-phase separator water – oil – gas
• Measurement of the combustion air flow
• Measurement of saturated and superheated steam
• Flow measurement of biogas, even in case of wet and erratic flow.
• ASME B31.3 construction available
• ISO 9001:2008 Certified

Nuflo Cameron Gas Turbine flowmeters

The Nuflo Cameron Gas Turbine flowmeters are ideal for applications involving Fuel Gas, Production Gas, Vent Gas, Flare Gas, etc.. They are able to handle any unexpected spikes in case of overrange up to twice the flow, without any damage to the meter.

Moreover, thanks to the cartridge design, the service is extremely simple, as the turbine is inserted between the two flanges of the process piping. The body is made of SS 316, while the rotor is instead made of SS 455, a high reliability material.

In addition, the digital pulse output generated by the gas turbine flow meter can be fed to companion readout devices capable of providing direct measurement of flow rate and accumulated throughput. These measurements can be automatically pressure- and/or temperature-compensated to obtain volumetric measurements in standard units.

The Nuflo Cameron Gas Turbine flowmeters, with a 2″ ND, are able to measure a Turn Down up to 15:1 under process conditions up to 107° C and 153 barg and can be coupled with flanges of #150, #300 and #600.
