Rugged V-Cone Flow Meter Ideal

For Gritty Oil Sands Separation Processes

Ideal for High-Temperature, High-Pressure Liquid, Natural Gas or Steam Service

Oil Sands process engineers looking for a rugged all-purpose flow meter that delivers high accuracy measurement in dirty liquid, natural gas or steam media will find the versatile V-Cone Flow Meter from McCrometer is the right fit for extreme process environments.

Extracting oil from tar sands, which include a combination of crude bitumen (a semi-solid form of crude oil), silica sand and clay minerals, requires three processes-- extraction, separation and upgrading. The tar sands are typically mined from open pits and sent to a plant, where a hot water process and agitation are used to separate bitumen droplets that are later upgraded into synthetic oil.

Other alternative oil sands processes inject heated steam directly into the sand for the purpose of separation where bitumen deposits are deep below the surface. No matter the process, large amounts of water and energy are required for heating and pumping purposes. Flow meters that can accurately and reliably measure liquids, natural gas and steam play an important role in controlling and optimizing these processes to produce oil with the highest efficiency.

McCrometer's V-Cone Flow Meter provides a high accuracy, dependable flow measurement solution for oil sands production and refining in all media. It operates in the most demanding conditions—including dirty flows, high temperatures and high pressures with superior accuracy of +0.5% of flow rate and repeatability of +0.1%.

The precision V-Cone's unique no-moving parts design provides built-in flow conditioning, which also nearly eliminates the upstream/downstream straight pipe runs required by nearly all other flow meter technologies. Typical flow meter installations require 10 to 40 straight pipe diameters upstream from the meter and 5 or more straight pipe diameters downstream to eliminate the effects of swirl and other pipeline disturbances caused by valves or elbows that negatively affect measurement accuracy.

The space-saving V-Cone reduces typical flow meter straight pipe run requirements by up to 70 percent or more and needs only 0-3 straight pipe diameters upstream and 0-1 downstream to operate effectively. It fits in crowded separation plant layouts as well as in refineries, while also reducing pipe material costs and installation labor costs dramatically.

The versatile V-Cone operates over a wide flow range of 10:1 and supports line sizes from 0.5 to 120 inches. Oil sands process engineers can rely on the V-Cone Flow Meter for long life and low cost of ownership because it requires virtually no recalibration or maintenance over an exceptionally long life.

McCrometer's versatile V-Cone Flow Meter is compatible with the demanding standards set by the oil/gas production, delivery and refining industry. The testing of the V-Cone Flow Meter now conforms to the American Petroleum Institute's API 22.2 Testing Protocol for differential pressure flow measurement devices.

McCrometer's V-Cone® Flow Meter, known for precision flow measurement solutions providing superior accuracy and repeatability in rugged environments, has been certified for oil/gas service by Petroleum Development Oman. The newly certified V-Cone Flow Meter requires virtually no recalibration or maintenance over an exceptionally long life. The V-Cone Flow Meter is ideal for oil/gas well or platform production, delivery and refining applications.

Engineers can save retrofit time and costs with the V-Cone's maximum installation flexibility because it accurately measures disturbed flow and doesn't require the upstream and downstream pipe runs of other flow meters. Designed for the measurement of liquid, steam or gas, and ideal for tough applications, the V-Cone Flow Meter supports a wide range of oil/gas production and delivery and petroleum refining applications. The V-Cone's highly compact, no-moving parts design keeps operating costs down for key applications such as oil production, natural gas production, raw material refining and petrochemical production. McCrometer's versatile V-Cone Flow Meter is compatible with the demanding standards set by the oil/gas production, delivery and refining industry. It relies on an advanced differential pressure flow sensor designed with built-in flow conditioning to achieve an accuracy of +0.5%, with a repeatability of +0.1%. It operates over a flow range of 10:1, and comes in line sizes from 0.5 to 120 inches. With its unique ability to self-condition flow, the V-Cone Flow Meter is a real space-saver, eliminating the need for up/down stream straight pipe runs required by other DP technologies, such as orifice plates and venturi tubes. It can be installed virtually anywhere in a piping system or be easily retrofit into an existing piping layout, resulting in significant installation flexibility and initial cost savings.

Due to extremy high diesel fuel prices, substantial savings can be realized when diesel engines are converted to vegetable oil operation. Savings per liter amount to approximately US $0.65 and with an average consumption of 30 l/100 km and an operational performance of 120,000 km/yr, up to US $23,400.00 can be saved over a year per vehicle.

Standard diesel injection pumps for trucks are not able to draw fuel out of the holding tank due to the higher viscosity of vegetable oil which can result in cavitation on the suction side. Manufacturers offer conversion kits to solve this problem. Their pump is part of this booster conversion kit.

In response to market demand for an accurate, easy-to-use differential pressure standard at high static pressures, GE Sensing is introducing the Ruska Model 2482 differential piston gauge. Featuring a patented triple-piston assembly, this new primary standard is designed to calibrate virtually any differential pressure sensing device from 0 to 850 inH2O ( 2100 mbar ) at line pressures up to 2900 psi (200 bar).

GE's Model 2482 can be used to calibrate the majority of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure devices, including other industrial or portable piston gauges, transducers, transmitters, gauges or pressure switches. It offers an accuracy of 40 ppm of reading + 0.0013 psi and its Windows-based menu-driven software both controls the piston gauge and provides the full range of necessary corrections and calculations. It is ideally suited as a calibrating instrument for a wide range of applications requiring best-possible accuracy at high line pressures, such as the calibration of pressure transmitters used in custody transfer measurements in the oil & gas industry, and turbine efficiency testing in the power generation sector.

The Model 2482 eliminates the traditional zeroing process through the use of a precision load cell, or digital force balance. The load cell supports the weight of the differential piston and serves as a null indicator to ensure the line pressure balance point. It also provides feedback to an active control system to ensure the differential pressure produced is maintained when changing the mass load. The effective area of the triple-piston assembly is not affected by the line pressure, which simplifies operation of the instrument by minimizing the computations needed for accurate results and therefore reduces uncertainty in output pressure.

The Model 5000 offers wet/wet differential pressure measurements of gases and liquids compatible with stainless steel. The compact size contains no internal O-rings or fluid filled cavities, making it ideal for water management, gas pipeline instrumentation, filtration, natural gas compressors and many other applications. In the event that either pressure port is at full line pressure and the other at zero, no damage will be done to the transducer/transmitter.

On board digital compensation with analog through path ensures low thermal errors with fast response times. Both voltage and current outputs are available over a wide operating temperature range.

The Model 5000 has been designed specifically for applications with demanding price and performance requirements. Measurements are available in differential pressures covering line pressures up to 1,000 PSI.
