CEESI calibration

Clamp-on ultrasonic flow technology for pipelines that meets AGA 9 guidelines? Yes, it exists!

USA | FS230 Gas Campaign Page - CEESI Calibration Results

Siemens clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters have been installed on natural gas pipelines for over 20 years, servicing a wide range of applications including gas storage, compressors, transmission, custody transfer and more. Recently, the dual-path SITRANS FS230 gas clamp-on flow system installed on a 16” meter run calibrated at CEESI (Colorado Engineering Experiment Station Inc.) was proven to meet AGA No. 9 guidelines for custody transfer.

Success story

Leading gas pipeline operator exceeds accuracy requirements with new clamp-on flow meter run design

USA | SITRANS FS230 Gas Clamp-on Flow Meter Success Story

A Midwestern pipeline operator with tens of thousands of miles of pipelines provides critical links between major natural-gas producing basins and downstream processors and markets across the USA. In need of a new balance meter approach, the company found a cost-effective solution that saved $100,000 compared to alternatives. Even before calibration, the SITRANS FS230 non-intrusive ultrasonic flow meter delivered flow rate accuracy rivaling that of other dual-path flow meters triple its cost!

PHMSA-compliant leak detection in hazardous liquid pipelines

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued directives for effective leak detection and location systems on all hazardous liquid pipelines. To support internally based leak detection systems that comply with PHMSA requirements, the SITRANS FS230 can be installed without pipeline interruption and allows for the passage and detection of an instrumented inspection device (pig).
