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 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 […]
When you purchase an SFC3000 flow computer here is what you will find in the box: The SFC3000 flow computer with option boards and backup battery installed Certificate of Quality that has followed the flow computer through production Print out of production database records, showing options and firmware installed Flow computer power connectors IO Connector […]
The SFC3000 is a very versatile flow computer, capable of operating in a stand-alone single stream flow measurement system, or as part of a highly complex multi-stream system. The flow computer should be considered the “brains” of the flow measurement system and as such, requires a number of peripheral components to take measurements. What are […]
The flow measurement needs of the oil and gas industry are many and varied. Flow computer design must be responsive to these needs if it is to support the industry in all possible applications. While a fully bespoke flow computer would be costly, Ex~i Flow supports powerful, cost-effective solutions using option boards and flexible software […]
The SFC3000 Flow Computer is one component in a system that precisely measures the flow of liquids, steam, or gases. While the computer offers insight into the system’s effectiveness and efficiency, the meters gather the measurements, and the process controls allow for adjustment of the quantities, pressures, and more. In March 2021, BP announced its […]
