Variable Area – VA meters, commonly called rotameters, are a cost-effective solution used for flow indication of liquids and gases. External power is not required for operation; therefore they provide a fail-safe flow rate measurement under any circumstance. VA meters are used in simple to sophisticated applications. They are offered in variety of wetted materials for high pressure, high temperature and hazardous locations.

Thermal Mass Flow – TMF technology uses thermodynamic principles to derive mass flow. A TMF sensor can be combined with an integral valve and PID controller in one compact, efficient instrument that can accurately control the flow of gases. TMF products exhibit high repeatability and accuracy.

Coriolis Mass Flow – The Coriolis products use a proven direct mass measurement technology to provide precise flow measurement and control of liquids and gases. These stand alone devices include an integrally mounted control valve function with a compact miniaturized configuration. They can simultaneously measure mass flow fluid density and temperature.

FMC Invalco

Turbine Flow – The turbine flow meters utilize a rugged, durable one piece cartridge design with integral flow straighteners, double sleeve bearing and a flow through design. This provides excellent performance and unequaled service life in non-lubricating and solids contaminated fluids. The stainless steel/tungsten carbide construction provides corrosion free service so that long life is guaranteed, even in the toughest applications.

Positive Displacement – These volumetric flow meters provide high levels of accuracy and repeatability for a wide range of liquids from low viscosity solvents and chemicals to viscous oils, greases and food bases. Low Pressure Drop allows for economical pump selection or gravity flow applications. Either a piston or oval gear flow meter have no requirement for flow conditioning (straight pipe runs), pulse outputs and accept bi-directional flow.

Insertion Flow – The Dualpulse insertion flow transducer provide a cost effective and simple means of measuring the flow of water and a wide range of low viscosity liquids. The two models cover pipe sizes from 1.5” – 100” nominal bore. Installation is quick and inexpensive. The linear measuring range covers flow velocities from 0.7 – 33 ft/sec without creating flow cavitation.

Daniel Flow Measurement

Turbine Flow – The Daniel liquid turbine is a volumetric flow metering and transmitting device for fiscal custody transfer metering across the oil and gas industry. Turbine meter technology is a proven, reliable and accurate method of flow measurement. Daniel turbine meters address the requirements of petroleum production, transportation and terminal marketing applications. With a built-in flow conditioning plate, the meter is suitable for installation in confined areas such as load rack skids. It is designed for use within the guidelines of API Standards, Chapter 5.3 and the test procedures of API Chapter 4 (Prover Systems).

Ultrasonic Flow – The Daniel liquid ultrasonic meter is rapidly becoming the technology of choice for measuring a wide range of fluids. With no moving parts and no impediments to flow, ultrasonic meters virtually eliminate pressure loss common to other types of measurement technologies. The technology can be applied to custody transfer, allocation measurement, check metering, leak detection, and inventory control applications. With no moving parts, the meter is ideal for bi-directional flow as it provides accurate measurement of both upstream and downstream transit times.

Brodie Meter Co.

BiRotor Flow – This positive displacement meter is recognized throughout the petroleum industry for its accuracy, durability and repeatability. The Brodie patented design measures liquids up to 50,000 SSU of viscosity, offers connection sizes from 1 ½” – 16” and maximum flow ranges up to 13,000 BPH. Resistant to sand and other abrasives, the BiRotor is recognized as a workhouse in oil production for crude oil. It is also offers low operational costs in the pipeline, railcar/truck loading, tank farms and marketing terminals.

Primary Flow Signal, Inc.

Venturi Flow – The venturi flow element produces a differential pressure to calculate flowrate through a pipe. The fluid is accelerated through a converging cone and the pressure difference between upstream side of the cone and the throat is measured and provides the signal for the rate of flow. The venturi tube has less head loss than an orifice or nozzle due to its streamlined design. These are ideally suited for clear gas, liquid or steam applications. This design is available in many materials and end arrangements and equipped with fittings to accept secondary instrumentation packages.

Wedge Meter – The PFS Wedgetype flow element is also a differential product, but is especially geared for highly viscous, contaminated and/or abrasive fluids. The “wedge shaped” segment protruding into the flow path produces a differential that is captured by the DP transmitter. The particulate or slurry component of the fluid can easily pass through the throat construction since it is open in the bottom segment.

Orifice Plates, Flange Unions, Meter Tubes – PFS manufacturers and stocks a growing range of orifice plates and accessories compliant with the gas industry standards, as may be required. Standard 316 SS paddle type and universal style orifice plates in line sizes ranging from 1” – 24”. Larger line sizes and exotic materials can be manufactured by request. Flange unions in A105 are stocked, but 304 and 316 SS are readily available. Meter tubes and runs are designed and manufactured to order.

AW Lake Company

Positive Displacement Flow – These flow meters are ideal for highly viscous fluids or fluids with changing viscosities, such as oils, resins, sealants, adhesives and paints. AW offers 4 types of positive displacement flow meters: spur gear, helical gear, high pressure gear and streamlined gear. The flow ranges are from 0.001 gpm to 265 gpm, can handle up to 15,000 psi and are compact for tight spaces.

Coriolis Flow – AW Liquid Coriolis flow meter technology offers advantages over traditional volumetric technologies. 316 Stainless tubes and ATEX rated explosion proof transmitters; with accuracy of +/- .5% while measuring flow, density and temperature.
