McCrometer offers advanced ß ow meter technology measure- ment solutions for challenging space- and weight-constrained offshore oil & gas production environments. Subsea modules, Offshore Platforms and FPSO Vessels necessitate ß ow meters that can maintain accuracy under rugged, crowded, high pressure conditions. Already cramped installations are further complicated by the extensive straight pipe runs required by most ß ow meter measurement technologies to condition ß uid for measurement accuracy and repeatability. McCrometer?s versatile, space- and weight-saving V-Cone Flow Meter and highly scalable Wafer-Cone Flow Meter have met the challenges of the oil and gas industry for more than three decades. V-Cone Flow Meter Featuring advanced dP technology, McCrometer?s V-Cone Flow Meter offers built-in ß ow conditioning that is designed to reduce the upstream/downstream straight pipe run required by Ori Þ ce Plates and Venturi Tubes by up to 70%. This reduction in pipe re- quirements adds up to cost savings in materials and installation labor, reducing FPSO Vessel tonnage and the footprint of Subsea modules. McCrometerThe V-Cone provides a stable ß ow pro Þ le for reliable measure- ment, featuring accuracy of ±0.5% of actual ß ow and repeatability of ±0.1% over the entire range. It is ideal for the measurement of liquid, steam or gas and is available for line sizes from 0.5 to 120 inches, with an unmatched 10:1 turndown ratio for wide range- ability. Its no-moving-parts design provides an extremely rugged instrument with virtually no maintenance required over a long life. Wafer-Cone Flow Meter The scalable Wafer-Cone Flow Meter is ideal for small line pro- cesses in line sizes from one to six inches. Like the V-Cone, self- conditioning means little or no upstream or downstream piping runs are required. The economical Wafer-Cone can be installed virtually anywhere in a piping system or be easily retro Þ t into an existing piping layout, making it ideal for retro Þ tting into the space- constrained offshore production environment as well as reducing the cost of new installations. www.mccrometer.com Offshore Flow Measurement Solutions from McCrometer www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 57MTR #1 (50-64).indd 57MTR #1 (50-64).indd 571/30/2013 11:31:51 AM1/30/2013 11:31:51 AM
