Smith Meter® Ultra6
- The Smith Meter Ultra6 Liquid Ultrasonic Meter is the culmination of FMC Technologies' long history of measurement expertise technology. The Ultra6 utilizes transit time technology to provide highly accurate measurement, in the same tradition as the Smith Meter Positive Displacement and Turbine Meters. The non-intrusive design has no moving parts to provide a low maintenance measurement solution and offers a wide dynamic flow range, wide viscosity application range with low differential pressure.
- Backed by FMC Technologies' world-class customer service, the Ultra6 is the cutting edge solution for your custody transfer measurement applications.
- With more than a QUARTER MILLION custody transfer meters installed WORLDWIDE, the measurement experts at FMC Technologies offers advice you can rely on to help you determine if this latest advancement in technology is the best solution for your measurement application.
- OIML and GOST tested and approved.
Unique Smith Meter® Ultra6 Features:
- Custody Transfer Accuracy - Meets or exceeds custody transfer requirements worldwide.
- Field-Proven Electronics - The same electronic processor and rugged packing as the FMC Technologies MPU™ Series gas ultrasonic meters which have been proven in the world's harshest field environments
- In-line Transducer Replacement - Designed so there is no need for special tooling or process shut-down to replace a transducer
- Real Time Diagnostics - WinScreen Software provides real-time logs, trends, signal performance and parameter reports for operation, diagnostics and maintenance.
Unique Smith Meter® Ultra6 Features for Crude Oil Service:
- Advanced Noise Immunity - Provides up to 20 times the immunity of other ultrasonic meter to accurately measure hard to handle high viscosity crude oils with S&W
- Measurement Stability - Unique six-path configuration provides optimum compensation for changes in secondary flow profiles of crude oils - matching and surpassing the performance of any other multi-path ultrasonic flow meter on the market
- Reciprocity - Exclusive transducer and electronic design that virtually eliminates zero flow offset and drift to provide long-term measurement stability independent of pressure, temperature, and transducer aging.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Technology:
- Low Pressure Drop - Drop is the same as an equal length of straight pipe
- Low Maintenance - No moving parts that need replacement due to wear, especially beneficial in severe operating environments
- Ideal for Problematic Applications - Non-intrusive parts help avoid product build up on equipment
- Operational Flexibility - Bi-directional flow reduces time required to redirect product flow
Applications:
- Pipelines
- Marine Terminal Loading/Unloading
- Floating Storage and Offloading Vessels (FSOs and FPSOs)
- Line Balancing
- Inventory Control
- Allocation
