The 1x4x1 scheme shown opposite, has a single common inlet header
which divides into 4 meter runs, each having its own flowmeter,
pressure and temperature measurement. The common inlet header
typically has on-line density and/or viscosity measurement, which
can be referred to meter run conditions, using either API/ASTM or 4x5
matrix referral, all under the control of the flow computer.

multistream flow computers to
work together to give a fiscally

with in-built redundancy in the
flow computers, with all of the
advantages of multistream flow

please ask for data sheet D351485X412. Product: With automatic product detection enabled, whenever the
product changes, the current batch is completed, and a new one
started.
Quantity: Each time a batch quantity (set by the user) is reached, a
batch report is produced and the flow can be stopped. This facility
allows fluids to be batched by volume or mass.
Daily batch: a new batch is triggered automatically when the
‘contract hour’ is reached.
PID flow delivery control: this is available to either control the flow
delivery rate on each individual stream, or it can be used to maintain
the flow rate across the metering station, balancing the flow across
the optimum number of meter runs.
