Industrial Gas Applications of GE Panametrics Clamp-on Flowmeter Model GC868

摘要

This paper describes the technical features of the GE Panametrics GC868 clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter for gases. General application requirements related to pipe sizes; pipe geometry, gas composition and pressure are outlined. The meter creates no pressure drop, has a 100:1 turndown ratio and is useful for measurement of erosive, corrosive and toxic gas flow rates. rnApplications and test results for the meter on flow measurements of natural gas for re-injection to sub-sea well reservoirs, flow measurements of natural gas at a separator outlet, accuracy verification of flow measurement of natural gas at a compressor station and import/export of natural gas at an underground salt-cavern storage facility are discussed.
