Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Integrated API Volume Correction: Beyond simple mass flow, the LPGmass performs automatic volume correction based on API Table 53. This allows the meter to provide accurate, temperature-compensated volume readings directly on-site, ensuring fair and standardized billing regardless of environmental temperature swings.
-
Optimized for Custody Transfer: The transmitter is specifically designed and certified for worldwide metrological approvals. It delivers the high-level accuracy required for fiscal measurement, with both pulse output and Modbus RS485 interfaces to ensure seamless data exchange with station controllers or truck-mounted systems.
-
Robust Design for Extreme Environments: LPG distribution often takes place in harsh outdoor conditions. The LPGmass features a robust, ultra-compact transmitter housing designed to maintain performance under extreme ambient temperatures and weather, providing excellent operational safety and longevity.
-
Simplified Multivariable Measurement: A single LPGmass installation captures mass flow, density, and temperature simultaneously. By performing multiple measurements in one device, it reduces the complexity of the piping and the number of potential leak points, which is a critical safety consideration for flammable liquids.
-
Space-Saving Installation: Because the Coriolis measurement principle is independent of the flow profile, the LPGmass requires no straight inlet or outlet piping runs. This allows it to fit easily into the compact cabinets of LPG dispensers or the tight piping modules on bobtail delivery trucks.
-
Rapid Commissioning and Service: Each device is delivered pre-configured for the specific application, allowing for immediate start-up. In the event of maintenance, the automatic data recovery feature ensures that all calibration and configuration parameters are restored without manual re-entry.
