Daniel JuniorSonic and SeniorSonic multipath ultrasonic flowmeters for gases and liquids

Accuracy, line size breadth and flexibility make the Daniel JuniorSonic one-path (3411) or two-path (3412), and SeniorSonic four-path (3414) gas ultrasonic meters suitable for a number of flow measurement applications. In addition, the four-path (3814) liquid ultrasonic meter expands on the functionality and performance of its predecessor, the 3804 liquid ultrasonic meter, to offer improved reliability for custody transfer applications.

With faster flow sampling rates, the improved electronics platform significantly increases the data set used to calculate average velocity, allowing rapid recognition of changing flow dynamics. Users will have access to high-volume data capture as well as detailed flow parameters, including pressure, temperature and gas composition, allowing the meter to act as a redundant flow computer. Improved calculations for auditing or invoice resolution are enabled by the electronics’ fast delivery of key data from the meter’s audit trail. The audit trail complies with American Petroleum Institute Standard 21.1 and is supported by a standard 128 MB non-volatile memory.

The meters’ electronics feature a compact circuit board for increased reliability and maintainability, simplifying field removal and reinstallation, and can be retrofitted in Daniel legacy ultrasonic meters. The electronics supports remote access as well as true 100BaseT Fast Ethernet connectivity to facilitate enterprise-wide communication and integration.

Each Daniel gas ultrasonic meter is supplied with rugged T-20 Series transducers that are engineered for wet, rich and/or dirty gas applications. The transducers facilitate troubleshooting by enabling operators to quickly detect and isolate problems, preventing unnecessary depressurisation of the meter.
