For maximum accuracy when loading, unloading and transporting hydrocarbons in the oil & gas industry.

August 2022 – Worldwide, over 90 million barrels of crude oil, natural gas and refined hydrocarbons are produced, transported, stored, and sold to end customers every day. Any measuring inaccuracy results in enormous shortfalls for suppliers or buyers. This is not the case with Promass Q. Thanks to its revolutionary 4-tube technology and an extended measuring range for pipelines up to DN 250 (10"), operators of loading stations are just one example of those who enjoy its many benefits.

Promass Q, the high-tech Coriolis flowmeter from Endress+Hauser, is now also available for larger pipe sizes with maximum flow rates between 850 and 2400 t/h (6700 and 18 900 bph). Furthermore, the implementation of the revolutionary 4-tube technology opens up numerous promising applications in the oil and gas industry – for example, as a highly accurate duty meter for custody transfer and fiscal metering, or as a precision reference device (master meter) for on-site verification measurements.

Benefits

·         Best measuring accuracy (±0.05% o.r.) and exceptional repeatability (±0.025%) over the entire measuring range: tested and confirmed on various external, accredited oil and gas calibration facilities

·         Excellent measuring performance for liquids with microbubbles thanks to patented MFT (Multi-Frequency Technology)

·         Outstanding density measuring accuracy (tested by H&D Fitzgerald/UK): ±0.2 kg/m³ (±0.0002 g/cm³)

·         Best turndown and zero point stability in the industry, and

·         Can be used for process temperatures up to 205 °C (401 °F) or in the low temperature range down to –196 °C (–321 °F).
