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
