Virtual Flow Computer VFC - The ﬂexible and low-cost solution for on-line ﬂow calculations The Virtual ﬂow computer Windows® software program is the next generation in ﬂow computing. Like the conventional ﬂow computer it can perform volume correction, ﬂow totalization, turbine linearization, meter proving, etc. The Virtual ﬂow computer is by far the most economical option in case of multiple ﬂow measurements (3 or more). It is also a logical consequence of the ﬁeldbus trend in the process industry that will (partially) replace conventional hard-wired I/O. Based on the successful function...

Virtual Flow Computer Traditional ﬂow computers can be directly connected to ﬁeld transmitters and ﬂow meters. They have a number of onboard provisions that ensure accurate and reliable signal processing. The added value of traditional ﬂow computers is especially visible in dedicated (ﬁscal) metering skids with conventional transmitters and ﬂow meters, which can be directly connected to the ﬂow computer. The ﬂow computer performs the ﬂow calculations, providing a clean ﬁscal system boundary. The Virtual ﬂow computer is a software program. Its stability mainly depends on the operating system...
