Flow Meter Operates Under Challenging Conditions To Provide Vital Data

EPA requires periodic integrity tests on brine disposal lines at the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) site to detect any leaks. While pitot tube-type meters were used to profile the pipe and measure the flow in the past, this was a lengthy procedure for divers on the sea floor that often produced less than satisfactory results. DM Petroleum Operations Company chose the FPI Mag Flow Meter to replace the problematic pitot tube meters based on the product’s high performance accuracy, compact insertion design, and its ability to be removed from pipes under pressure for easy inspection, cleaning, or calibration verification without an expensive shutdown. After over a decade of periodic testing service, the FPI Mag Flow Meter continues to demonstrate performance accuracy in a demanding environment.
