Rosemount™ 3051SFC Compact Conditioning Orifice Plate Flow Meter

Rosemount™ 3051SFC Flow Meter

Emerson, a top provider of process measurement and control solutions, created the RosemountTM 3051SFC Compact Conditioning Orifice Plate Flow Meter, a cutting-edge flow measuring tool. This flow meter offers the advantages of an orifice plate together with built-in flow conditioning technology to provide precise and trustworthy flow readings in a small package.

The differential pressure (DP) measuring method is used by the 3051SFC Compact Conditioning Orifice Plate Flow Meter to calculate the flow rate of fluids in pipes. It comprises of an aperture plate that drops pressure across the flow, and a high-precision sensor built inside the meter measures the difference pressure. The oil and gas, chemical, and power-generating sectors all make extensive use of this technology.

The integrated flow conditioning technology of the RosemountTM 3051SFC Flow Meter is one of its most notable features. Pipe elbows, valves, and other upstream flow variables may produce flow disturbances in conventional orifice plate flow meters. By adding cutting-edge flow conditioning components like flow straighteners and velocity reducers to guarantee a steady and uniform flow profile at the orifice plate, the 3051SFC solves these difficulties. By doing this, measurement accuracy and reproducibility are improved—even in difficult flow scenarios.

The 3051SFC Flow Meter is simple to install and maintain thanks to its small design. It may be installed in tiny locations or places with short pipe lengths because of its modest footprint. The integrated flow conditioning components of the meter remove the need for extra pipework and flow straighteners, simplifying and lowering the cost of installation.

The RosemountTM 3051SFC Flow Meter from Emerson is renowned for its outstanding measurement precision and dependability. Precision and consistency in flow measurements are ensured by modern sensor technologies and signal processing methods, improving process management and optimization. The flow meter also provides exceptional long-term stability, reducing the need for routine maintenance or recalibration.

The 3051SFC Flow Meter offers a number of choices for integrating into current process automation systems and for communication. It enables smooth interaction with distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems by supporting industry-standard protocols like HART and Modbus. This makes it easier to monitor, configure, and diagnose systems remotely, improving operational effectiveness and lowering maintenance costs.

For the RosemountTM 3051SFC Flow Meter, Emerson also provides a variety of diagnostic and verification options. This includes integrated self-diagnostics that keep track of the meter’s performance and health and notify operators of any possible problems. The flow meter also supports digital valve signatures, which makes it possible to quickly and precisely check the functionality of a valve without halting the process flow.
