The SFC3000 circulate pc from Sussex primarily based Ex-i Movement Measurement Ltd is a extremely versatile liquid hydrocarbon and gasoline circulate measuring system able to working in a stand-alone single-stream circulate measurement system or as a part of a extremely complicated multi-stream system.
The SFC3000 is excess of only a devoted circulate pc. It may possibly function on numerous ranges from a supervisory machine to a standalone circulate pc or as a system part. With its contact display screen VGA show and in depth processing capabilities, mixed with simple-to-use controls and distinctive working software program, it will probably perform as a whole station supervisor built-in right into a circulate pc housing.

Designed particularly to fulfill the wants of the worldwide liquid hydrocarbon and gasoline measurement markets, the SFC3000 is meant to positively contribute to each administration and conservation of the world’s dwindling power assets by offering each versatile and correct measurement and incorporating cutting-edge designs and elements.
The SFC3000 circulate pc needs to be thought-about the “brains” of a circulate measurement system and requires numerous peripheral elements to take measurements. In its easiest type, a circulate measurement system will encompass:
- An SFC3000 circulate pc with 1 I/O choice board
- A circulate meter (turbine, ultrasonic, differential strain or Coriolis)
- A strain sensor (HART or 4-20mA)
- A temperature sensor (Hart, 4-20mA or PT100 Platinum Resistance Thermometer).
Observe: strain and temperature sensors are usually not wanted with a Coriolis circulate meter, and extra strain sensors are required for a differential strain meter.
Turbine, ultrasonic and Coriolis circulate meters may be linked utilizing a pulse enter, both as a single or twin pulse practice. Alternatively, ultrasonic and Coriolis circulate meters may be linked through the RS232/485 serial port out there on every of the IO choice boards.
Further performance may be added to a fundamental system together with optionally available I/O boards. With the addition of a communication board information may be obtained from a gasoline chromatograph or different sources through the serial or ethernet ports. Movement measurement information will also be handed to different techniques, such printers or DCS, through the communication board ports. Logged information may be saved internally or in an optionally available SD card. A density measurement cell may be linked to a pulse or 4-20mA enter.
SFC3000 circulate pc key options:
- Measurement conforming to AGA, ISO, API requirements of: dry and moist pure gasoline, hydrocarbon liquids, different gases e.g. nitrogen, different liquids e.g. water.
- NMi Certificates to: WELMEC 7.2 and eight.8, OIML R117, MID 2014/32/EU
- Commonplace Options: standalone circulate computing perform, circulate computing mixed with supervisory perform, as much as 2 G-byte extra reminiscence for Alarm, Audit and Information Logging, optionally available SD card required.
- Meter varieties: pulse producing circulate meters, most typical ultrasonic circulate meters, dp transmitters with orifice or venturi measurements
- Configurable Show: system diagrams, Trending and graphical shows, Language choices, Interfaces to most kinds of metering tools and all in style GC’s, Straightforward Set up and interfacing
- Supervisory Options, Alarm/Occasion/Information Logging and Recording, Printer Report Era, System Diagram Show, Community Communication, Station Controller Features, Valve Management and Distant Operation.
- Upkeep Features: stream summation, pid/sampler features, circulate pc specification.
The SFC3000 is packaged in an business Commonplace Half Width 3U Excessive 19” rack building appropriate for panel or chassis mount. It may possibly accommodate as much as 6 person plug-in playing cards and as much as 5 measurement streams in the identical chassis. Working temperature ranges; PRT Inputs, -10°C to 55°C (15°F to 130°F), Hart® and 4-20mA Inputs -25°C to 55°C (-15°F to 130°F). Working humidity to 90% non-condensing and meets environmental lessons M2/E2.
The way forward for gasoline and liquid measurement and circulate management innovates by a steady strategy of evolution. As main circulate pc producers, Ex-i Movement Measurement specialises in researching, creating and manufacturing merchandise for the gasoline and liquid measurement business, with a concentrate on steady challenge growth and enhancement. EX-i provide clients market main efficiency, high quality, reliability, price and response.
