Case Study
Flow meter fidelity proves pipeline health
SPECIALTY CHEMICAL Flow meter fidelity proves pipeline health RESULTS • More than $300,000/yr. was saved by extending the SIL-1 proof-test interval from annually to once every three years ($4,000 per year savings, per meter) • Meters damaged by erosion, corrosion and over-pressure were now detectable • ROI on the purchase of Smart Meter Verification was under six months APPLICATION SIL-1 Proven-in-Use application on gas phase propylene feed with a Micro Motion ® ELITE ® Coriolis CMF300 flow meter. The meter was being recalibrated annually, despite providing an accurate measurement. CUSTOMER A major international specialty chemical manufacturer focusing on performance materials, nutrition & care resource efficiency. CHALLENGE Accurate propylene flow measurement is cr
