I need to measure crude oil volume flow compensated at 60°F from an crude oil plattform. Which flowmeter technology you recommend me to use. I don´t need just to measure volume flow but I also need to compensate it to 60°F (then I can compare all my different reading at the same temperature since pressure is almost constant).
I don´t want to use coriolis mass flowmeter since they are two expensive (3 inch pipeline). I was thinking in maybe using vortex. What do you think? Do you have experience measuring crude oil with vortex flowmeters? I heard that since the crude oil is very dirty it works at the beginning but then you have to do a lot of maintenance. maybe an ultrasonic clamp on flowmeter is better.
About compensating to 60°F, do you know how can I solve it without using a flow computer? Do you know some solution.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
