Hi,
I am a Process Engineer. Working in Oil and Gas company.
I have come across few Flow meters which is in condensate line. The condensate is flashing across the Flowmeter. I am concerned about accuracy of all Flowmeter wherever there is flashing and mechanical stability of Turbine meter.
I understood in Turbine meter, there is no other option but to elevate the vessel, so that the Flowmeter pressure drop will be gained and prevent flashing in meter.
But other meters, like Senior Orifice, if we cannot elevate the vessel height, can we allow the flashing to take place in Flowmeter to some extent?
if yes, what will be the maximum allowable percentage of Flashing?
Please clarify.
Thanks.
