Heavy, sour, viscous...all terms that describe the kind of crude all of us in the petroleum industry deal with today. This thick, gummy, sometimes gritty, liquid puts stress on infrastructure and wear on equipment. It disrupts operations with downtime, reduces throughput with maintenance, and cuts profit due to increased cost.
Now there's an enhanced meter that withstands operation on heavy crude - the Smith Meter® CT Series positive displacement meters, only from FMC Technologies. We call it "CT", for crude transportation, because it keeps transportation channels moving. The Smith Meter CT Series PD meter is engineered to deliver long-lasting operation ensuring accurate custody transfer measurement in the harshest crude oil applications. That means longer run times, extended maintenance intervals, and maximum throughput. The bottom line on the Smith Meter CT Series is lower cost of ownership.
Our Smith Meter CT Series is sized for 10-, 12- and 16-inch transportation lines for a variety of application including pipeline custody transfer, marine loading and unloading, pipeline leak detection, blending, batching, and inventory control.
