TORPEE-MAG on a fishing ship

Customer

Our customer operates a fishing ship in the North Sea. They needed to measure the flow of water between tanks in a full pipe.

Task definition

• Installation & commissioning has to be done by the customer with an engineering company
• Installation shall be quick and easy
• Pipe size: 350 mm
• Very accurate flow rate needed
• Other types of sensors can't be used (Transit-time was not accurate enough; Full-bore is too heavy and the space too limited for installation

Solution

• Installation of a TORPEE-MAG 1,5” full pipe multi-point electromagnetic flowmeter using a saddle without shutting down the flow
• The TORPEE-MAG is connected to a stationary converter, the TMC-20, displaying all information on a LCD screen 
• No calibration on site necessary

Installation

• Installation was done by the customer following the manual

Sensor

• Sensor for a DN350 pipe with 5 pairs of electrodes

First values

• Measuring data from TORPEE-MAG is stable and accurate
• The customer has placed an order for multiple additional sensors
