The project in context
Technology in its operating context.
The instrument scope covered pipe sizes from DN200 to DN1000. Algeria is the documented delivery country; the individual instruments formed separate measuring units for subsequent installation.
Scope of work
- 1 × DN1000, 1 × DN500 and 3 × DN400
- 1 each of DN350, DN300 and DN200
- Common PN10 pressure rating
- 8 wooden crates with a gross weight of approximately 1.34 tonnes
Execution
In 2024 the flowmeters were prepared in eight individual wooden crates. The delivery scope included transport from Czechia to Algeria.
Eight instruments in six sizes
The largest instrument was DN1000, followed by one DN500 and three DN400 units. The remaining three units were DN350, DN300 and DN200. All eight flowmeters were supplied with a PN10 pressure rating.
- 1 × DN1000 and 1 × DN500.
- 3 × DN400.
- 1 × DN350, 1 × DN300 and 1 × DN200.
Packing and transport of large instruments
Each flowmeter had its own wooden crate. The DN1000 instrument alone weighed 468 kg, or 546 kg including packaging; its crate measured 153 × 136 × 117 cm.
The itemised weights total 1,122 kg without packaging and 1,344 kg including packaging. Transport to Algeria formed part of the invoiced scope.
Outcome
A package of eight F31 electromagnetic flowmeters in sizes from DN200 to DN1000.
