DFX-MMFeatures & benefits

PerformanceA master meter class UFM exceeding current

standards from Naphtas / Condensates / Liquid

gases to Heavy crudes / Fuel oils

Superior linearity and repeatability thanks to

unequalled spatial coverage and ultra-fast

scanning rate

Compliant with OIML R117-1 class 0.3, M.I.D.

2004/22/EC and API MPMS Ch5.8

Truly Provable with standard turbine prover loops

Design32-beams protected design

Transit time operating principle

Unique 22.5° axial symetry with excentration

design for really much less sensitivity to flow

profile disturbances

Small volume transducers cavities minimize the

scaling effects and avoid gas pockets

InstallationReduced straight runs installation possible

Compact integrated electronics for easy site

commissioning and start-up

CommunicationHigh integration to common flow computers.

Secure ethernet communication

HTML-based configuration and auditing software

with open communication protocol for on-line

remote technical support

Powerfull flow imaging capability

ServiceUltrasonic paths redundancy allows scheduled

site maintenance and downtime reduction.

Transducers exchangeable without recalibrating

the meter

DFX-MM is the only UFM with a stable meter factor over a wide Reynolds range and therefore is ideal for multiproduct pipelines and crude oils with viscosity variation.

DFX-MM requires much less prove volume than other UFM's and therefore is truly provable with standard turbine prover loops where other UFM's definitively should be proved by master meter method.

DFX-MM Software

DFX-MM interfacing is easy and cost effective thanks to its Web server and Ethernet link,making skid commissioning, meter health check and auditing operations straightforward.

DFX-MMCalibration curves

DFX-MM is provable with standard ball provers thanks to repeatability improved by its unequal spatial coverage and ultra-fast scanning rate.

DFX-MM accurately measures viscous flows and therefore is ideal when pressure drop is the concern.
