KROHNE Announces the Availability of its OPTIMASS Coriolis Mass Flowmeters for Oil & Gas Industry

The ideal solution for all process and custody transfer applications

Beverly, MA: KROHNE, Inc. announces the availability of its OPTIMASS 6000, OPTIMASS 7000, OPTIMASS 1000, and OPTIMASS 2000 Coriolis mass flow sensors with the latest version of the compact or field mounted MFC 400 converters. Based on more than three decades of experience in developing innovative Coriolis meter technology, these devices are an ideal solution for all process measurement and custody transfer applications. They provide significant value in the oil and gas industry where exact and repeatable measurements are crucial for efficient production of various hydrocarbon-based products.


OPTIMASS flowmeters provide highly accurate mass, volume flow, and temperature measurement of liquids and gasses as well as density, and concentration measurement for liquids. A wide variety of sizes and materials ensures optimal performance in your applications. Even in safety-related applications, all products provide secure wireless access via Bluetooth, allowing for parameter changes or meter verification from a distance. The sensor design results in a lower pressure drop which translates into energy savings and possible reduced meter sizes.

These flowmeters maintain operation over a wide range of gas volume fractions, even up to 100% with Entrained Gas Management (EGM™), as a unique standard feature in each and every OPTIMASS. This permits the meter to operate in the presence of complex or unexpected multiphase flowing conditions.
In upstream oil and gas well site applications, the OPTIMASS' EGM capabilities maintains accurate and reliable production measurement by withstanding the dynamic flowing conditions that might cause excess gas or water to come up alongside oil from a separator.

The OPTIMASS sensors also feature crosstalk and vibration immunity that allows for their installation in extremely tight spaces with no impact on measurement which is ideal for skid mounted systems.
For applications such as custody transfer, OPTIMASS meters are among the most traceably accurate instruments in their class. They are fully API compliant for LACT measurement and ideal for the quality analysis of crude oil in custody transfer use. Other applications of OPTIMASS Coriolis mass flowmeters include chemical additives metering skid, automated backpressure control, and managed pressure drilling skids.

For larger flow applications, the OPTIMASS 2400 straight tube meter is available in sizes to 16 inch, for mass flow rates to 169,000 lbm/min (4,600 t/h).

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
