The EX-i SFC3000 flow computer offers multi-stream measurement of gas flow

Offers cost savings by making multi-point measurements

Measurements conforming to AGA, ISO, API standards

The SFC3000 flow computer from Sussex based Ex-i Flow Measurement Ltd may be configured to provide a multi-stream measurement solution for gas flow. Using a SFC3000 to make multiple sample point measurements can offer cost savings by allowing a single emissions analyser to make sequential measurements from many different sample points.

With additional I/O option boards, the number of streams measured by the EX-i SFC3000 flow computer can be increased up to 5. While it is possible to have multiple streams on a single I/O board, fiscal measurements require one stream per board. If more than 5 streams are required these can be spread over more than one flow computer and the data collated together using the supervisor features of the SFC3000.

The optional I/O boards also have output functionality to allow the control of, or information to be passed to, other parts of a system via pulse or status digital outputs and 4-20mA outputs. With the addition of a communication board, data can also be passed to other systems via the communication board ports, such printers or DCS. Data can also be obtained from a gas chromatograph or other source via the serial or ethernet ports. 

The SFC3000 is a highly versatile liquid hydrocarbon and gas flow measuring device capable of operating in a stand-alone single stream flow measurement system or as part of a highly complex multi-stream system and offers a great deal more than a dedicated flow computer.
