Double duty flow measurement: How to conquer changing flow conditions and tight footprints

While accurate flow measurement is critical for most industries, flow conditions that change over time can make it difficult to properly size a flow meter. Replacing a meter as the flow changes is impractical and expensive. In addition, flow disturbers can greatly impact meter accuracy, so addressing that issue is important as well. A uniquely designed flow meter may be the solution to both ...

How to get accurate flow measurements despite flow disturbers

Flow meter accuracy is critical for process control but can be hampered by upstream and downstream flow disturbers. This problem may be addressed during the design process, though in some circumstances it’s impossible to eliminate disturbers. What Are Flow Disturbers? Anything that impedes flow upstream or downstream of a flow meter is a flow disturber. This includes piping ...

Not all differential pressure meters are created equal

Due to the dynamics of liquids and gases flowing through elbows, valves, pumps, and other pipeline structures, every flow-meter methodology has its own design limitations. Unlike Venturi meters, pitot tubes, orifice plates, and other devices, V-Cone meters provide highly accurate and reliable readings with minimal straight-pipe length restrictions and virtually no maintenance, in pipe sizes up to ...

Optimal CO2 metering solution critical to enhanced oil recovery

As oil wells age, the internal pressure gradually drops while fluid levels tend to move away from the production zone. To combat the resulting production declines at those wells, oil and gas companies turn to enhanced oil recovery to optimize output. Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection and water alternating gas injection, also known as WAG, are unconventional enhanced oil recovery processes that ...

Nuclear Materials | Identification of isotopically rich materials using bulk composition mass spectra

The isotopic sensitivity, and ability to analyse small particles, makes SIMS the ideal technique for the study of nuclear materials. The spectrum below was measured from a uranium containing glass (under 1% wt.) using a 5keV oxygen primary ion beam and 500eV electron beam charge compensation. The 235U fraction is determined to be 0.55 ±0.02%; less than the 0.72% abundance expected from ...

CEE-USV with 33kHz CEESCOPE LITE Tackles Deep Acid Pit Lake Survey

On mine sites, pit lakes form as excavated mine pits fill with water; often the water is actually acidic, corrosive process leachate solution highly rich in dissolved components such as copper. The leachate may be removed and reprocessed to extract the desired metal. Usually, such pit lakes are too hazardous to survey on a manned boat so a USV is ideal. Existing land survey data may be used to ...
