Flowmeter comes with top accuracy claims

Flotech Solutions product story

The recently introduced BiRotor Plus PD meter is now available in the UK from Flotech Solutions.
Brodie Meter has been developing positive displacement flow metering technology for over 50 years, ever since the Ralph N Brodie Company in the USA developed the BiRotor PD meter for oil industry use in 1948.
This has evolved into the recently introduced BiRotor Plus PD meter, now available in the UK from Flotech Solutions.
"The BiRotor Plus flowmeter, which is a helical rotor type design, is the most accurate meter of its type in the world today", says Henry Webster, VP at Brodie Meter.
The accuracy is better than +/-0.075%, with repeatability of +/-0.01%.
Webster added: "One of our customers, who has several BiRotor Plus meters in a truck loading facility, tells us that he has not had to make any K factor adjustments to the meters since they were first installed, which was over four years ago".
"This consistency and reliability has resulted in considerable cost savings on this site, compared with other styles of PD meter".
The standard BiRotor Plus flow ranges are from 150 to 3800 litre/min in up to 4in line sises.
In addition, Brodie has now produced a 12in high capacity meter, specifically designed for crude oil applications.
"The first units of this large meter design have been installed on lines working at pressures up to 100 bar, with flow rates of up to 2000m3 per hour, providing an accuracy of +/-0.15%", said Webster.
This meter, like all Brodie meters offered by Flotech Solutions, is available with both a mechanical totaliser output, as well as electronic output.
The pulses used by the counters are driven directly from the meter rotation itself.
The full Brodie product range includes PD meters, control valves, electronic totalisers, strainers and air eliminators, which can be designed into complete Brodie engineered metering systems.
Brodie meters have been supplied to oil and petrochemical industry installations around the world over the last 50 years, and a complete recalibration and reconditioning service is available for any Brodie meter, either at the Flotech Solutions facility in Stockport or at the main Brodie plant in the USA.
Brodie is ISO9001:2000 certified and Brodie products comply with PED, CE and ATEX requirements.
