Krohne flow product showcase in Scotland
All roads lead to Aberdeen this September 3rd and 4th for the biennial Instrumentation Scotland and Offshore Systems exhibition, and Krohne teams up with Hamall to present oil and gas flow products
All wetted parts are manufactured from NACE compliant duplex Stainless Steel (ANS 31803) and the meter is supplied with standard flanges rated at up to 1500 lbs (12").
PED approval offers process pressure capability up to 150 barg and the Optimass 2000 also offers flow rates from 7,000 Kg/h to 2,300,000 Kg/h, with a measuring accuracy of 0.1%.
In addition, the stainless steel outer cylinder has a burst pressure in excess of 100bar.
Specifically aimed at the oil and gas industries, the low flow rate capability of the Optimass 2000 prevents the build up of static in hydrocarbons, whilst at the same time offering accurate measurement.
The low flow rate capability is also a benefit for custody transfer applications.
The Optimass 2000 uses the successful MFC300 converter and is available as a compact or remote version.
All signal processing is carried out by the MFC300 which converts the meter output to a Modbus RTU communications signal: the "split architecture" of the MFC300 allows dual redundancy of all calibration data.
The meter can also be supplied with DDC (Direct Digital Communications) where the application doesn't require a converter.
