Flow measurement is a critical aspect of industries handling gas and liquid transfers, ensuring accurate billing, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Unlike the small domestic gas meters found in homes, industrial flow computers manage high-pressure, high-volume pipelines, calculating real-time flow data across various applications. What Is a Flow Computer? A flow computer collects data from […]
The addition of a Dual Ethernet board provides a widely used communication interface to the SFC3000 flow computer as well as galvanically isolated serial ports. Both Ethernet and serial ports can be used to communicate with Ultrasonic and Coriolis Meters, Gas Chromatographs and other analysers, printers, distributed control systems (DCS) and other supervisory systems. Ethernet […]
A new software update available for use with the SFC3000 flow computer that can calculate CO2 emissions to BS8609:2014 from gas fuelled industrial processes, or power stations and also record the carbon subsequently captured for storage facilities rather than being released into the atmosphere. A major oil and gas company recently approached Ex~i to find […]
Winners will be announced on Thursday 24th October 2024, at The Grand Connaught Rooms, London The SFC3000 flow computer has been selected as a finalist in the 2024 Instrumentation Excellence Awards . The Awards celebrate the very best measurement, sensing and control sectors. The market leading SFC3000 flow computer has been designed specifically to meet […]
The SFC3000 flow computer may be configured to provide a multi-stream measurement solution for gas flow. Using a SFC3000 to make multiple sample point measurements can offer cost savings by allowing a single emissions analyser to make sequential measurements from many different sample points. With additional I/O option boards, the number of streams measured by […]
The EX-i SFC3000 flow computer offers versatile measurement of gas flow Designed specifically to meet the needs of the liquid hydrocarbon and gas measurement markets worldwide Measurements conforming to AGA, ISO, API standards The SFC3000 flow computer from Sussex based Ex-i Flow Measurement Ltd,. is a highly versatile liquid hydrocarbon and gas flow measuring device […]
Due to the ever-changing silicon market, we have needed to redesign the SFC3000 option boards. Each option board has a “Mk2” version – functionally the same from the outside of the flow computer, but uses an ARM processor to replace the Motorola. Alongside this revised processor, some of peripheral components have also been changed, either […]
This article was originally posted for the Mk1 option boards, but has been updated for the Mk2 option boards . When specifying how you would like your flow computer configured, there are a lot of important things to consider in terms of how it will be used and the required inputs and outputs needed. To […]
Ex~I Flow Measurement Ltd confirms appointment of Daniel Goodwin as new Managing Director, effective 1st April. After leaving Sussex University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Engineering with honours degree in Computer Systems Engineering, Daniel worked as a development engineer on a forerunner to today’s flow computer at BS instruments, latterly becoming Elster. From here […]
Across the UK, there are thousands of tankers on the road at any one time; each carries on average 22000 litres of fuel. There is a flow of liquid from the manufacturer to the storage facility and then from the supplier to the forecourt client. Flow measurement is essential in the passing of custody of […]
