Strategic Technical Advantages
Unmatched Sensitivity for Extreme Flow Volumes The CMFHC3M features a specialized large-bore dual-tube design that delivers unparalleled measurement sensitivity. Even at the massive flow rates typical of 10-inch lines, the meter maintains a stable zero point and high signal-to-noise ratio. This allows operators to achieve fiscal-grade accuracy in bulk loading and unloading operations, significantly reducing uncertainty and financial risk in high-value transfers.
Smart Meter Verification (SMV) In large-scale operations, downtime is extremely costly. Smart Meter Verification allows for a comprehensive health check of the sensor tubes and electronics in under 90 seconds while the process remains fully operational. This in-process diagnostic tool provides documented evidence of calibration and structural integrity, ensuring the meter meets regulatory and quality standards without requiring a shutdown.
Highest Immunity to Process and Environmental Noise Large-diameter piping systems often experience significant vibration and pressure fluctuations from high-capacity pumps. The ELITE platform is engineered to isolate the measurement from these external factors. The CMFHC3M offers the industry’s highest immunity to environmental effects, ensuring that the mass flow and density data remain steady and repeatable regardless of the installation environment.
Widest Process Range and Scalability This high-capacity sensor is built for extreme versatility, supporting a process temperature range from -240°C (-400°F) to 350°C (662°F). With pressure ratings reaching up to 414 barg (6,000 psig) on select configurations, it is capable of handling everything from cryogenic LNG bunkering to high-pressure crude oil pipelines.
Global Compliance and Safety Leadership The CMFHC3M carries a comprehensive array of international certifications, including CSA, ATEX, NEPSI, and IECEx. It is certified SIL2 and SIL3 capable per IEC 61508, making it a trusted component for critical safety-instrumented systems. Additionally, it holds marine and legal-for-trade custody transfer approvals for global commercial operations.
