Liquid Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Emerson Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter: A high-precision liquid ultrasonic flowmeter applied in the petrochemical industry.

June 18, 2012

Designed for reliable measurement, minimal maintenance, and ease of operation, the Emerson Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter with a high accuracy and repeatability is a cost-effective metering solution for many applications in the petrochemical, oil, water, and wastewater industries.

Features include:

  • Full bore meter with no incremental pressure drop increases energy savings
  • No moving parts reduces maintenance costs
  • Field replaceable transducers simplify maintenance
  • Stability of measurement
  • Wide flow range
  • Bi-directional flow capabilities
  • Integrated diagnostics package provides an intuitive view of meter health
  • Ease of installation and operation reduces start-up time and lowers capital costs
  • WirelessHART support
  • Offers all the advantages of transit time and inline ultrasonic flowmeters. Ultrasonic flow measurement is independent of conductivity, temperature, density, and pressure.
  • Uses two mid-radius, parallel-plane measurement paths to reduce the influence of the flow profile.

Typical applications include: process measurement, sewage flow measurement, loading and offloading trucks, and ship metering.
