The Baker Hughes Panametrics PanaFlow DigitalFlow XGS868i steam flow transmitter from HMA Instrumentation is a complete ultrasonic flow metering system for measurement of the mass flow rate of saturated steam and superheated steam. It offers a unique combination of rangeability, ease of installation and low maintenance and accuracy in a low-cost transmitter.

The measured flow velocity rate, along with the input of temperature and pressure, allow the powerful on-board computer to calculate the steam mass flow rate. The mass flow rate can be displayed locally or transmitted to a remote system via an analogue or digital communications link.

Features include:

• Economical flow measurement in a compact transmitter
• No moving parts
• No pressure drop
• Wide rangeability, with a 1 500:1 turndown ratio
• Non-obstructive flow measurement
• Tolerance to dirty streams
• Low maintenance
• Suitable for high temperatures
• Two-path measurement available for maximum accuracy
