Caldon 280CiLT-R LEFM ultrasonic cryogenic flowmeter

Reliable custody transfer measurements for cryogenic liquid hydrocarbons

Applications

  • Tank storage
  • Ship loading and offloading
  • LNG transfer to plant
  • LNG process measurements

Benefits

  • Proven and robust transducer technology
  • 4- and 8-path chordal designs for optimal linearity and repeatability, suitable for cryogenic applications that require custody transfer and allocation performance
  • Dramatically reduced sensitivity to swirl and asymmetry effects with the industry-leading 8-path chordal design
  • 5-diameter minimum upstream pipe run and no requirement for flow conditioner, reducing total cost of ownership
  • Transducers that are isolated from the process and outside the pressure boundary for ease of service
  • No recalibration or zeroing required if transducer is replaced
  • In-house transducer manufacturing for maximum quality control
  • Continuous logging capabilities

Features

  • Available sizes: 6 to 36 in
  • Advanced signal processing with real-time diagnostic analysis
  • Internal resistance temperature detector (RTD) for thermal expansion compensation
  • G3 electronics with rich I/O and integral SD card
  • Remotely mounted electronics
  • Caldon USM Advisor™ diagnostic software included
  • Compliance with API MPMS Chapter 5.8, International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) Recommendation R 117-1 Edition 2019 (E) Accuracy Class 0.3, Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2014/32/EU, and NACE MR0175
  • NMI*-approved, Reynolds-extrapolation-based calibration procedure, enabling traceable calibration on an alternate fluid with minimal impact on installed uncertainty
