Description: Custom flow measurement systems have been developed, which meet specialised application requirements. A high shock design has been developed for installations such as monitoring BOP activation where the meter may be subjected to extreme hydraulic shock loading. This design enables the turbine meter to withstand the water hammer effect without sustaining damage. Various other mechanical configurations, including manifold housing and meters with SAE Code 62 end fittings, have been utilised as the applications require. Several different electronic packages have been developed for use in both surface and subsea applications. Watertight packages are available to house a standard pick-off with a low level output, an amplified pick-off with a square-wave pulse output, and linearising electronics that provide a linear output of ±0.1 % throughout the 100:1 dynamic range of the meter with a frequency and analogue output. These subsea packages also have the flexibility to utilise various connector brands, such as SeaCon, D G O'Brien, or a connector manufactured as specified by the end user. These specialised turbine meters are offered by Flow Technology, a company recognised throughout the oil and gas industry for its ability to develop custom flow measurement systems.
