Description

3.2 Applications

Channel Functions
The system software allows simultaneous operation of one channel in the Transit-Time mode
and the other in Reflexor mode.
Transit-Time Mode
All SITRANS F 1010 models use transit-time flow measurement technology varying only in
functionality and environmental housing.
Reflexor Mode
The SITRANS F 1010 transit-time flowmeter is highly resistent to the effects of liquid non-
homogeneity caused by the inclusion of air or solid particulate. However, sonic beam scattering
may occur when mineral-based solids or gaseous content is a high percentage of the volume.
This can cause difficulty in operation due to signal attenuation. Liquid conditions that may be
unsuitable for transit-time operation can be measured using the Reflexor mode. Dual channel
portable systems allow operation with one transit-time channel and one Reflexor channel
measuring flow on the same pipe.
3.2 Applications
Measurement of liquids
SITRANS F flowmeters are designed for measurement of a variety of liquids and gases. The
transmitters are multi-parameter devices offering accurate measurement of mass flow, volume
flow, density, and temperature.
Typical Applications
The typical applications of the flowmeter are:
● Fuel Flow Measurement
● Hydraulic Oil Leak Detection
● Measurement of Additives
● Oil & Gas: Filling of gas bottles, furnace control, CNG-dispensers, test separators
● Crude Oil
● Finished Hydrocarbon Products
● Fuel Oil
● Bunker Fuel
Typical Industries Serviced
● HVAC (Hotels, Airports, Government)
● Power Generation (Nuclear, Fossil, and Hydro)
