Flow Measurement & Control


Bulk measurement

September 2008 Flow Measurement & Control

Krohne has extended its range of Coriolis mass flowmeters, for accurate bulk measurement in the oil and gas industry, with the launch of the OPTIMASS 2000.

The popular twin tube design of the OPTIMASS 1000 has been extended to provide accurate measurement for the bulk market. All wetted parts of the OPTIMASS 2000 are manufactured from NACE compliant duplex Stainless Steel (ANS 31803) and the meter is supplied with standard flanges.

The OPTIMASS 2000 uses the successful MFC300 converter and is available as a compact or remote version

PED approval offers process pressure capability up to 150 bar and the OPTIMASS 2000 also offers flow rates from 7000 kg/h to 1 200 000 kg/h, with a measuring accuracy of 0,1%.

Aimed at the oil and gas industries, the low flow rate capability of the OPTIMASS 2000 prevents the build-up of static in hydrocarbons, whilst at the same time offering accurate measurement. The low flow rate capability is also a benefit for custody transfer applications.

All signal processing is carried out by the MFC300 electronics which converts the meter output to a MODBUS RTU communications signal and the split architecture of the MFC300 allows dual redundancy of all calibration data. The meter can also be supplied with direct digital communications (DDC) where the application does not require a converter.
