Flowmeter delivers accuracy and stability for H2 applications
The new Micro Motion Coriolis flowmeter (photo) is designed for high-pressure hydrogen-dispensing and chemical-injection applications, where measurement accuracy and safety are essential. The Micro Motion Coriolis HPC015 flowmeter is capable of a flow-accuracy margin of 0.5% for gas and 0.1% for liquid mass-flow measurement, a significant improvement over existing meters, says the company. The meter performs under wide pressure and temperature fluctuations, ensuring security and reliability, while onboard diagnostic tools eliminate the need for pre-inspections or interim maintenance checks, saving time and money. One of the main applications for the HPC015 is to manage costs in large-scale custody-transfer applications, such as public transportation systems. A second, significant market for the HPC015 is in other high-pressure applications, such as injecting methanol, corrosion inhibitors and other chemicals downhole at high pressure. The HPC015 is designed to accurately and reliably dose chemicals at pressures up to 1,060 bars (15,374 psi) to ensure pipeline integrity and avoid events like plugging, which can halt production. — Emerson, St. Louis, Mo.
