CORROSION-RESISTANT CORIOLIS FLOWMETER
Proline Promass 83O/84O Coriolis flowmeter is designed for use in corrosive, high-pressure and high-temperature environments in the oil and gas industry. Key parts are manufactured from super duplex stainless steel with 25% Cr (25 Cr duplex), which offers high protection against saline seawater and other corrosive materials found in crude oil and natural gas. The T316L stainless steel external design also resists corrosion from salt and seawater exposure.

BREAKTHROUGH THERMAL MASS FLOWMETER
QuadraTherm 640i/780i thermal mass flowmeter series is breakthrough thermal dispersion technology. Its sensor design advances and a proprietary iTherm "Brain" give the 780i in-line version gas mass flow rate measurement accuracy of ±0.5% of reading above 50% of the full scale (air). The patented sensor and proprietary algorithm set results in a gas mass flow rate calculation using all pertinent variables.

MORE MAGNETIC FLOWMETERS
FCMI flowmeter measures flow rates between 0 and 9.9 gallons per minute. It uses the magnetic inductive principle to detect flow in a range of electrically conductive fluids. It has an accuracy rating of 2% of measured value, and unlike paddle wheel or vortex flowmeters, it doesn’t obstruct the flow of the media to obtain a measurement. It has no moving parts, which virtually eliminates early replacements.

WORLD'S SMALLEST CORIOLIS METER
RotaMass LR, the world’s smallest, dual bent-tube Coriolis mass flowmeter, employs a proven dual bent-tube design. Designed to be self-draining and to measure both liquids and gasses, the mass flow measurement spans from 0-40 kg/h. The accuracy is ±0.15% for liquids and ±0.5% for gasses. It features an in-line temperature sensor for measurement in ranges from -50°C to +150 °C and a gas-tight stainless steel containment that can handle pressure to 65 bar.
