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 flow meter is highly resistant 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 flow meters 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
