Coriolis Flowmeters More Than Measure Up to the Challenges of the Oil & Gas Industry

Endress+Hauser Promass Coriolis mass flowmeters offer outstanding performance in the oil & gas industry in challenging applications such as inventory monitoring and custody transfer where high accuracy and reliability are key. We offer a range of sensors optimised to oil & gas industry requirements:

• Promass F: Twin-tube mass flowmeter suitable for distribution, pipeline, refinery, terminals, jetties and bunkering applications.
  Available with nominal diameters from ½” to 10” (ANSI 150 to ANSI 600).
• Promass X: The first four-tube on the market, capable of metering up to 4,100 metric tons per hour or 720,000 barrels per day!
  Available with nominal diameters from 12” to 16” (ANSI 150 to ANSI 600).
• Promass O: Twin-tube mass flowmeter specifically designed to withstand harsh environments and high pressure applications.
  Available from 1” to 6”(ANSI 900).

Best-in-class performance

As mass flowmeters, our Promass range is unaffected by the fluid properties such as density, viscosity, temperature and pressure or by the flow profile, meaning that measurement compensation or flow conditioning is no longer required. In addition, with 0.05% accuracy, they provide the best performance of any flowmeter for custody transfer on oil and gas pipelines up to 16-inch diameter, ensuring that both the buyer and seller know exactly how much is transferred.

When accuracy and reliability are vital

Accuracy is vital in custody transfer applications – and our Promass flowmeters more than measure up! Not only do Promass flowmeters comply with custody transfer regulations and accuracy requirements – they often outperform them. This offers significant savings when dealing with valuable products such as oil and gas. For example, consider a custody transfer metering system for pipeline measurement delivering 80,000 BPD of oil priced at $100 US per barrel equipped with a standard meter with an accuracy of ±0.1% with a total system accuracy of ±0.3% (custody transfer norm). Imagine now using a Promass flowmeter with an accuracy of ±0.05% where the total system accuracy will be lower than the requested ±0.3% up to certified (from past executed projects) ±0.15%. When you look at the figures, the Promass flowmeter clearly offers significant cost savings!

Additional information, simple installation
Promass flowmeters provide direct fluid density measurement that offers additional quality information on the fluid measured along with accurate conversion from mass to standard volume when required. Better still, the compact and lightweight design offers simple installation in both horizontal and vertical configurations without the need of special supports for easy integration into your plant.
