Follow on Google News | Space-Saving V-Cone Flow Meter Cuts WAG System Installed & Operational CostsProcess engineers designing WAG Injection Systems for mature oil/gas reservoirs will find that the V-Cone Flow Meter® features a space-saver design that reduces both installation and operational costs while improving oil production efficiency.
By: McCrometer Water-Alternating- In a typical WAG system, the V-Cone Flow Meter is installed as a master meter at the CO2 source with stainless steel piping split run to as many as 16 injection wells. Even with 16 pipe runs, the V-Cone master meter maintains excellent accuracy when the volumes of the 16 pipe runs are added together. The meter itself also requires virtually no maintenance— Engineers in the oil and gas industry rely on the V-Cone Flow Meter to remain accurate in the toughest applications. Its low-maintenance, no-moving-parts design is proven to remain accurate for 25 or more years and all but eliminates the need to shut down production for calibrations, inspections or regular primary element replacement. It saves money by increasing production up-time and in parts and labor. With built-in flow conditioning, the V-Cone Flow Meter features advanced differential pressure(dP) The V-Cone Flow Meter is inherently more accurate than traditional dP instruments because of the flow conditioning function built into its unique sensor design. Its centrally located cone interacts with the fluid steam, reshaping the velocity profile to provide a stable signal thatincreases measurement accuracy. The pressure difference exhibited between the static line pressure and the low pressure created downstream of the cone is measured via two pressure sensing taps, one placed slightly upstream of the cone and the other located in the downstream face of the cone itself. The pressure difference is then incorporated into a derivation of the Bernoulli equation to determine the fluid flow rate. The versatile V-Cone Flow Meter is available in line sizes from 0.5 to greater than 120 inches in materials and with flanges compatible with any application. It operates over a wide flow range of 10:1, is accurate to +/- 0.5% and offers repeatability to +/- 0.1%. It features standard beta ratios of 0.45 to 0.85 with custom betas available. It is constructed of rugged Duplex 2205, 304 or 316 stainless steel, Hastelloy C-276, 254, SMO and carbon steels with special materials and testing available on request. # # # McCrometer’s advanced liquid, steam and gas flow measurement solutions solve complex challenges in Municipal/Industrial Water & Wastewater, Oil & Gas, Process Control & Plant, Electric Power Generation, Institutional Facilities and Agriculture.
