Fluid Identification Most hydrocarbons can be distinguished by their sonic velocity when corrected for the effect of temperature. The FLUXUS® HPI meter continually measures the sonic velocity through its clamp-on transducers and the temperature by means of a clamp-on RTD probe or a 4–20 mA current signal. By doing so, the flow meter automatically determines the fluid in the pipe by comparing the measured values with the stored data of the sonic velocity (Sonic ID) of a multitude of hydrocarbons over a broad temperature range. By recognizing changes in the sonic velocity of the media, an...

FLUXUS® HPI Multi-Product Meter Varying conditions and changing media – The FLUXUS® HPI Multi-Product detects it all Barge Loading of Hydrocarbon Products Flow Measurement in Storage Stations A 500.000 barrel Refined Products terminal loads barges with ethanol, diesel and unleaded gasoline. An accurate and reliable flow measurement as well as a high sensitivity to measure low and zero flows with swift response is crucial to regulate the total loads of each batch. For the operation of pumping and storage stations a reliable flow measurement is essential. Intrusive flow meters such as orifice...

One Pipe, one media The FLUXUS® HPI Single Product suits you best Pipeline Check Metering Pipeline Leak Detection A major pipeline operator was looking for a check meter at an ethylene product pipeline to verify an orifice meter at a custody transfer point. The HPI Single-Product meter also proves to be the solution of choice for professional Leak Detection on product pipelines. Though there was virtually no straight piping to work with, a four month test with a FLEXIM Single-Product meter (dual beam configuration) ensured that it proved capable of a consistent, highly repeatable as well as...

Interface Detection Batch 2 Sonic ID c Bt Batch 1 Batch 3 Slope ID cB/dt t The slope signal shows a peak at every batch interface. Even when the types of fluids passing through a pipe are not known, the FLUXUS®HPI meter can inform you about interface changes, while permanently measuring volume flow. The measured sound speed is compensated for the temperature according to a curve fitting the mean behavior of a set of different liquids. The sound speed at base conditions, or Sonic ID, is indicative of the currently sensed fluid. In order to provide easier detection of interfaces, the slope of...
