Argon flow measurement

Dear All,

Please, can you help me with an argon flow measurement method selection?

I have chosen a Coriolis flow meter which can withstand 170 bar of process pressure.

An issue is that we need to two pcs and it would be too pricey for the customer since they do not measure flow at the moment.

Pipeline diameter: DN 20 or 3/4"

I am wondering can I decrease a pressure but not affect real measurement values, or do you know another method( orfice+DP) or Vortex?

Any help is highly appreciated.

  Milan,
  
  Good morning,
  With regard to orifice + DP we have a few options. Depending on the temperature of the process we can provide a single hole orifice plate with the appropriately rated flanges and 3051SMV. This would be the cheaper but more work intensive option. We are also able to provide an all welded design 1195 with the 3051SMV as well, but the application would have to neck up or down as we only offer this product in .5", 1", and 1.5". This would be the more expensive option, but potentially less than Coriolis. Both of these options would solve your customer concerns.
  
  Feel free to reach out via email or give me a call if you'd like to discuss further.
  
  Thank you
  Adam

  Vortex would do fine. What is the pipe size

  Hi Milan-
  
  Thank you for using Emerson Exchange 365 to reach out with your questions!
  
  Currently we do not have a 3/4" 8800 Vortex flow meter that would fit this application without modifying the piping for a 1/2" or 1". In order to see if Vortex would be a great fit, we would need more process details to perform a sizing on this application.
  
  If you want to size your application to make sure a 1/2" or 1" Vortex flow meter will work for your flow ranges in your conditions, you can use our online sizing and selection tool using this link:
