GE Panametrics Ultrasonic Transit-Time Gas Flowmeters

DigitalFlow GF868 - Flare Gas Mass Ultrasonic Flowmeter

The GF868 flare gas flowmeter improves the efficiency of petrochemical plants, refineries and offshore platforms. It uses a proprietary algorithm to determine instantaneously the molecular weight and mass flow rate of the flare gas. The meter is used to conserve energy and reduce product loss by identifying sources of leaks into the flare systems. It also helps improve compliance with pollution-control regulations and reduces energy usage by accurately controlling the amount of steam fed to the flare tip.

The GF868 flowmeter operates reliably even under unsteady flow, pulsating pressure, varying composition and temperature, harsh environments and the wide flow ranges typical of flare systems. Flow velocity is measurable from 0.1 to 394 ft/s (0.03 to 120 m/s) in pipes or stack sizes up to 120 in (3 m) in diameter. There are no moving parts or orifices to wear or clog. The GF868 flow measurement is independent of the gas properties, and it does not require regular maintenance
 
 

DigitalFlow GM868 - General Purpose Gas Ultrasonic Flowmeter

The DigitalFlow™ GM868 general-purpose flowmeter measures gas flow in pipes or ducts ranging from ½ in (1.27 cm) tubing to flue stacks greater than 25 ft (7.6 m) in diameter with appropriate transducers. Innovative configurations for installation of its ultrasonic transducers meet pipe or duct size and other application-oriented requirements. This obstructionless meter has very wide rangeability, causes no pressure drop, and requires no regular maintenance. Analog and digital outputs in velocity and actual volumetric flow rate are standard.
 

DigitalFlow XGM868i - Gas Flow Ultrasonic Transmitter

The XGM868i gas flow transmitter is a low-cost, transmitter-based version of the GM868 general-purpose gas flowmeter. Like the GM868 flowmeter, the XGM868i transmitter uses the ultrasonic transit-time technique for measuring gas flow. It measures flow in virtually every gas in any pipe or duct size from 1 to 120 in (2.5 cm to 3 m) and larger.

The transmitter is weatherproof and approved for use in hazardous areas. The wetted transducer designs offer low pressure drop, low maintenance, and accurate measurement over a wide range of flows and compositions.
 
 

PanaFlow Meter System - Integrated Ultrasonic Flowmeter

The GE PanaFlowTM Meter System wetted ultrasonic flowmeter product for liquids, gases or steam that uses standardized flowmeter body designs with options for one or two-path ultrasonic transducers, and local or remote flowmeter electronics. The PanaFlow Meter System is designed for applications such as natural gas, fuel gas, hydrocarbon liquids or gases, solvents, weak acids, water, and saturated or superheated steam.

The PanaFlow Meter System offers the benefits of ultrasonic flow measurement, including no pressure drop, no moving parts to replace and extremely low maintenance, in a complete flowmeter system package that is preferred in the chemical, oil and gas, and other industries for permanent installation in rugged process environments.
