The project in context
Technology in its operating context.
The measuring assembly was intended for a flare-gas line within a gas-processing facility. The specification addressed an insertion probe using thermal flow measurement and a flanged pipe connection.
Scope of work
- 1 TMFM01 thermal mass flowmeter
- Insertion probe and customised flanged assembly
- 3-inch Class 300 flange and an as-built DN32 PN63 valve
- Dimensional, visual and material inspection
Execution
The instrument and mounting assembly underwent inspection in 2022. The final invoice for one TMFM01 instrument was issued in 2024; the public delivery period corresponds to that supply.
Probe and pipe connection
The assembly drawing covered a 3-inch Class 300 RF flange, isolation valve, adapter and twin-ferrule compression fitting. Inspection of the actual assembly recorded a DN32 PN63 valve.
The project datasheet specified a 24 V DC supply, local LCD and Foundation Fieldbus H1 communication. These values describe the proposed instrument interface.
Mounting assembly inspection
The inspection included visual, dimensional and quantity checks, examination of accessories and packaging, and review of the submitted documents. Assembly materials were checked using PMI.
The inspection record rated the inspection satisfactory with comments. Verification concerned the instrument assembly before subsequent shipment release.
Outcome
Supply of one thermal flowmeter with its mechanical connection assembly and associated technical documents.
