The Optimass 2000, a large diameter Coriolis mass flowmeter that features a twin straight-tube design, is designed for accurate and repeatable bulk measurement in the oil industry. Optimass 2000 is available in three sizes (4, 6 and 10 in.), and its wetted parts are constructed of NACE-compliant duplex stainless steel (ANS 31803). The meter is available with flange ratings up to 1,500 lb, and flange sizes from 4 – 12 in. The Optimass 2000 is CRN approved and can handle process pressures to 2,200 psig with an outer cylinder that can handle burst pressures in excess of 1,500 psi. Flow rates ranging from 250 to 4,400 lb/min. are easily handled by the Optimass 2000 with a measuring accuracy of 0.1%. One major benefit for the oil-and-gas industry is the low flowrate feature. A lower rate of flow prevents the buildup of static in hydrocarbons without affecting measurement accuracy. — Krohne, Peabody, Mass.
