Flare Ultrasonic Flow Meter – SOPAS Engineering Tool

In this article, we will learn the procedure of using SOPAS engineering tool of SICK ultrasonic flare flow meter software.

A gas flow meter device must be calibrated against a reference or a master calibration system as per the standards.

The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging pitot tubes and one of the primary sensor for flow measurement.

In this article, we are going to discuss the calibration procedure of the prover tank and mass flow meter (Coriolis) verification steps.

An impulse line is a small bore pipe that is used to connect a tapping point in a pipeline to the measuring instrument.

Impulse lines are used in the installation of the DP transmitter for measurement of flow and level. Heat tracing problems discussed here.

Pressure Temperature Compensation is applicable when we have DP flow elements like Orifice, venturi, pitot tube, etc for flow measurement.

Here we shall learn about Magnetic flow meter basics and installation requirements. It is used to measure the flow of conductive liquids.

Vortex flow meters measure fluid velocity using a principle of operation referred to as the von Kármán effect to calculate the flow rate.

In variable area flow meters, fluid flow raises a float in a tapered tube. The greater the flow, the higher the float is raised.
