Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Engineering excellence in high-pressure containment allows the CMFHC3Y to operate reliably in environments that exceed the limits of standard stainless steel. The Super Duplex construction provides a high yield strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the sensor tubes maintain structural integrity and measurement stability even under extreme internal line pressures.
-
Precision engineering for high-volume custody transfer provides a global benchmark for accuracy in large-bore operations. By delivering exceptionally low uncertainty across a wide flow range, it eliminates financial discrepancies in high-pressure bulk fluid transport and ensures every kilogram is accounted for with scientific certainty.
-
Integration of operational intelligence through Smart Meter Verification (SMV) empowers facilities to maximize uptime. This technology provides a comprehensive health check of the sensor tubes and electronics while the process is fully operational, which is critical for high-pressure systems where manual inspection or disassembly is hazardous and costly.
-
Robust immunity to process noise and vibration ensures the CMFHC3Y thrives amidst the intense interference common in high-pressure pumping stations. The balanced dual-tube design acts as a natural filter, while advanced digital signal processing isolates the flow signal from environmental noise and mechanical vibration.
-
Exceptional corrosion and erosion resistance is achieved through the use of Super Duplex Steel (UNS S32750) for all wetted parts. This material is specifically chosen for its resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments, such as seawater or sour gas applications.
-
Reliable multi-variable measurement delivers real-time data for mass flow, volume flow, density, and temperature simultaneously. This consolidated data stream simplifies the management of high-pressure process loops and reduces the total cost of ownership by eliminating the need for multiple independent pressure-rated instruments.
Key Applications
-
High-Pressure Oil and Gas Production: Reliable measurement of wellhead fluids, high-pressure separator outputs, and water injection lines in offshore or subsea environments.
-
Brine and Seawater Processing: Ideal for large-scale desalination plants and chemical processes involving high concentrations of chlorides where material integrity is paramount.
-
Offshore Chemical Injection: Precise dosing of corrosion inhibitors and methanol at high pressures to prevent hydrate formation in large-diameter subsea pipelines.
-
High-Capacity Marine Terminal Loading: Facilitating the high-speed transfer of fuels and chemicals at elevated pressures, ensuring accurate billing and safe inventory management for DN250 lines.
