FlowCalcTM Flow Computer

Code: FC

FlowCalcTM Advantage:

Flexible design with power and communication options to meet site needs.
Custody compliant.
Local data logging capabilities.
Advanced diagnostic software can continually monitor and verify the meter’s primary flow element health and confirm output uncertainty.
Advanced diagnostic software can reduce need to re-calibrate resulting in less time spent on site.
User configurable for multiple differential pressure primary flow elements. Such as: orifice, venturi, flow nozzle, wedge, cone.
Push button interface.
Volumetric or mass flow monitoring of most liquids, gases, and steam.
Mass flow equations - real gas, ideal gas, AGA 8, API 2540.
When used in conjunction with VorTek Instruments’ VorConeTM, FlowCalc can provide a measurement of fluid density, volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate without any fluid information being required from an external source.
When used in conjunction with VorTek Instruments’ VorConeTM, FlowCalc can provide a reliable steam quality (steam dryness) measurement as well as mass flow measurement.
When used in conjunction with VorTek Instruments’ VorConeTM, FlowCalc can calculate the density of changing gas mixtures. For example, natural gas is typically a composition of many different gases which can vary over time and vary by application.
Energy Monitoring–ability to compute and output energy consumption with select fluids. Steam, water, and heat transfer fluids.
Low power.
Modbus, BACnet, Power over Ethernet (PoE) communications available.
HART protocol communications – Standard.
Approvals pending.

Verification System

Differential Pressure Verification System – DP Health CheckTM DP Health Check is a comprehensive verification system for Differential Pressure (DP) meters. Utilizing a third pressure port downstream of the DP meter and reading three DPs, DP Health Check analyses not just the traditional single DP reading, but the entire pressure field. The additional information expands the capability of the DP meter, offering a full diagnostic suite. DP Health Check creates a smart DP meter allowing for condition based maintenance operations.

DP Health Check creates seven diagnostic checks, i.e. one DP integrity check, three separate inter-comparible flowrate predictions, and three DP ratios comparible with the baselines. The HMI (human-machine interface) is designed for simplicity: the seven diagnostics are plotted as four points on a graph with a 1x1 box. All points inside the box shows the meter is func-tioning normally see Display for Correctly Operating Meter. Any points outside the box shows a potential metering issue. Display for Varying Quality Saturated Steam Flow & Display for Drifting DP Transmitter show response to varying saturated steam quality and single phase DPt reading error resectively. Pattern recognition technology allows the source of the problem to be directly identified
