Flow Meter Space / Weight-Savings Cost Analysis to be Performed At OTC .09

Visitors to McCrometer Exhibit Booth 9345 will be offered the opportunity to complete a free on-site computerized Flow Meter Space / Weight Savings Cost Analysis of their FPSO Vessel and Subsea Processing applications and be eligible to win a Hitachi Lightweight Ultrathin HDTV.

McCrometer will exhibit its space-saver, weight-saver V-Cone® Flow Meter and highly scalable Wafer-Cone® Flow Meter, which both feature advanced differential pressure technology. The exhibit will include demo meter models and video flow measurement technology presentations. Visitors will learn the advantages of McCrometer’s advanced flow technologies in reducing FPSO Vessel tonnage and in shrinking the footprint of SubSea Processing units.

V-Cone Flow Meter
The V-Cone Flow Meter relies on proven differential pressure (DP) flow measurement technology with built-in flow conditioning that reduces the upstream/downstream straight pipe run required by Orifice Plates and Venturi Tubes by up to 70 percent. This significant reduction in pipe requirements adds up to cost savings in materials and installation labor that reduce FPSO Vessel tonnage and the footprint of Subsea Processing Units. Using less pipe and reducing total weight also simplifies vessel balancing, making it easier to find the optimal location for flow meter installation.

Wafer-Cone Flow Meter
Engineers with small line size processes rely on the versatile Wafer-Cone Flow Meter for superior accuracy and repeatability for gas measurement in Offshore Platforms. Its advanced DP technology and built-in flow conditioning also eliminate the need for extensive up/down stream straight pipe runs required by Orifice Plates and Venturi Tubes. It can be installed virtually anywhere in a piping system or be easily retrofit into an existing piping layout, resulting in significant installation flexibility and in new installation initial cost savings.
