Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Engineering excellence in advanced metallurgy utilizes Nickel Alloy C22 for all wetted parts to provide a robust defense against reactive media. This alloy offers exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking from acids and chlorides, ensuring long-term structural integrity even at the higher reactivity levels found at elevated temperatures.
-
Precision engineering for thermal management features an extended neck design that protects the transmitter from process heat. This architecture creates a physical buffer, allowing the sensor to operate in high-temperature streams while keeping the electronics within their optimal temperature range, ensuring signal stability and preventing thermal fatigue.
-
Integration of operational intelligence through Smart Meter Verification (SMV) allows for real-time health checks without process interruption. For Nickel Alloy meters in high-temperature service, SMV is vital for detecting internal coating or tube wear caused by aggressive fluids, providing a safe and automated audit trail for maintenance teams.
-
Robust immunity to process noise and vibration ensures the F100B remains stable despite the turbulence of high-temperature pumping. Advanced digital signal processing filters out mechanical interference, delivering clean and repeatable data for mass flow and density even in volatile process conditions.
-
Compact and self-draining sensor geometry facilitates efficient installation in space-constrained industrial environments. When mounted vertically, the F-Series design is inherently self-draining, preventing corrosive fluids from pooling during downtime—a critical feature for preventing localized corrosion in 1-inch piping.
-
Reliable multi-variable measurement delivers simultaneous output for mass flow, volume flow, density, and temperature. By capturing all these variables in a single Nickel Alloy C22 device, the F100B eliminates the need for multiple specialized alloy penetrations, simplifying high-temperature system design.
Common Industry Applications
-
Chemical & Petrochemical: The definitive choice for measuring hot, aggressive feedstocks such as sulfuric acid, wet chlorine, or reactive monomers. It ensures precise mass balance while maintaining material integrity in high-heat chemical synthesis.
-
Specialty Chemical & Polymers: Ideal for processes involving hot, corrosive catalysts or intermediates where product purity is paramount. The C22 construction ensures no metallic contamination occurs, even at the elevated temperatures required to maintain fluid viscosity.
-
Oil & Gas: Used for high-temperature chemical injection and the measurement of sour gas condensate on offshore platforms. Its ability to resist both heat and corrosive salts makes it a highly reliable asset for heavy oil and refining applications.
