How it improves performance
All ultrasonic flowmeters have extensive diagnostic capabilities, but interpreting the data has traditionally been a task reserved for specialists. The Caldon USM Advisor diagnostic software addresses this issue by providing expert-level interpretation without requiring personnel to undergo advanced training. Recognizing the demands on operational time, SLB has ensured that the software is user friendly and presents information in an intuitive fashion, facilitating the tracking of flowmeter health and long-term performance and supporting rapid, objective decision making.
