Key Advantages and Operational Value
Exceptional Sensitivity for Bulk Flow The CMFHC2M features a specialized sensor architecture that provides unparalleled measurement sensitivity for large-diameter lines. This design ensures that the meter maintains an extremely stable zero point and a high signal-to-noise ratio, even at the highest flow velocities. This stability is critical for minimizing measurement uncertainty in high-value bulk transfers.
Real-Time Integrity with Smart Meter Verification (SMV) Operational confidence is maintained through Smart Meter Verification, which allows for a comprehensive health check of the sensor tubes and electronics in under 90 seconds. This process occurs while the meter is in-line and the process is flowing, providing a documented audit trail of performance and structural integrity without requiring a costly shutdown.
Unmatched Immunity to Environmental Effects The ELITE platform is designed to be virtually immune to external factors that typically disrupt flow data. The CMFHC2M excels at filtering out pipeline vibration, pressure fluctuations, and temperature transients. This robustness ensures steady, repeatable performance in harsh industrial environments, such as high-capacity pumping stations or maritime bunkering facilities.
Widest Process Range and Scalability This high-capacity sensor supports an extensive operational range, handling temperatures from cryogenic -240°C (-400°F) to high-heat 350°C (662°F). With pressure ratings available up to 414 barg (6,000 psig) on specialized configurations, the CMFHC2M is a versatile solution for everything from LNG transfer to high-pressure refinery outputs.
Global Compliance and Safety Standards The CMFHC2M carries an exhaustive list of international certifications, including CSA, ATEX, NEPSI, and IECEx. It is certified SIL2 and SIL3 capable per IEC 61508 for integration into critical safety-instrumented systems. Additionally, it holds marine and legal-for-trade custody transfer approvals for fiscal measurement accuracy.
