More Information:
The DigitalFlow XGF868i ultrasonic flow meter uses the patented
Correlation Transit-Time technique, digital signal processing, an
accurate method of calculating molecular weight. Add to these features
the inherent advantages of ultrasonic flow measurement reliability with
no routine maintenance, high accuracy, fast response, wide
rangeabilityand the DigitalFlow XGF868i flowmeter is the clear choice
for flare gas applications.
The DigitalFlow XGF868i may be used for standard volumetric or
hydrocarbon mass flow measurement. Flow measurement is independent of
gas properties, and does not interfere with the flow in any way. The
DigitalFlow XGF868i meter achieves a rangeability of 4000 to 1, measuring
velocities from 0.1 to 328 ft/s (0.03 to 100 m/s) in standard range, in
both directions, while the Extended Range version measures velocities to
394 ft/s (120 m/s) in one direction. In steady or rapidly changing flow,
it measures in pipes from 4 in to 120 in (100 mm to 3 m) in diameter.
For base load operation, the volumetric flow in flares is often in the
range 0.1 to 1 f/s (0.03 to 0.3 m/s) and the XGF868i flare gas flow meter
improves the accuracy over that range, but still measures at high
velocity during facility relief or upset conditions.
FieldComm Group (FCG) makes available to its members and to the public certain device driver (DD) files, in various forms, that have passed certain tests conducted by or through FCG. The DD files are, or are created from, submissions to FCG by FCG members and are provided by FCG AS IS. FCG disclaims all liability for the accuracy, suitability or use of the DD files. Each member creating DD files has its own policies regarding supporting use of those files, and may, for instance support use of DD object code files, but not DeviceInfo or other files. While FCG is under no obligation to provide support for use of any DD files, FCG welcomes all inquiries on the subject and will often be able to assist.
