Automatic Sampling Systems for a wide variety of liquid petroleum products
Flow MD’s Programmable Automatic Sampling Systems draw a representative sample of hydrocarbon products to determine the products compositional quality. When combined with a metered quantity, sampling results are used to calculate the product volume for process control, allocations, and financial transactions.
For enhanced performance, optional instrumentation such as densitometers, flow meters, and water cut meters can be added, creating a customized combined fast loop sampling and analysis package.
Utilizing a precision electric servo pump ensures a consistent sample size every stroke without the worry of line pressure, pneumatic, or hydraulic pressure. Adjustable sample grabs can range in size from 1 to 75 ccs.
