RABO Meter for Gas Measurement

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) has expanded its portfolio of integrated gas measurement solutions in the US. The company is now offering the standard Honeywell Elster® RABO meter combined with a mechanical totaliser or instrument drive (ID), along with the direct-mounted Honeywell Mercury Instruments TCI temperature corrector or EC 350 volume corrector. This combination will deliver advanced measurement, control, and analysis technology from a single source, and thus reduce costs and integration challenges for customers. Honeywell’s integrated solutions portfolio provides US natural gas companies with a compact, reliable and accurate gas measurement capability, meeting the fiscal measurement needs of commercial and industrial customers.

The RABO meter and volume correctors are part of Honeywell’s Gas Measurement and Data Management Solution. The newly integrated offering delivers accurate flow measurement data converted to volume at standard condition for use in billing purposes. It includes PTZ correction for commercial and industrial applications optimised for custody transfer.

Available in four sizes, the RABO meter comes in a heavy duty, compact design with a high impact-resistant, index cover aluminum body and impellers. It provides greater rangeability than competitive meters, increased maximum operational pressure (MAOP), low pressure drop enabling flexibility in station design, reduction in hazardous noise for safer operations, reduction in piston speed for longer asset life, and a low cost of ownership. TCI is the most advanced electronic temperature-compensating index available for natural gas rotary meters. This rugged, reliable and exceptionally accurate device is an ideal replacement for mechanical indexes. The EC 350 electronic volume corrector (EVC) offers best-in-class features such as improved accuracy, expanded memory, advanced diagnostics and integrated cellular communications.
