Consultancy for
Measurement Systems
De Flow Ltd. is associated with internationally recognised measurement engineers undertaking metering system design and have worked internationally as ‘Subject Matter Experts’ for major oil companies such as BP and PDO, Oman.
We consider that modern metering systems are best considered as information providing systems which can use a variety of equipment to provide the required information.
We use the following diagram to illustrate our approach to analysing any metering or measurement system for any business entity.
We consider it is especially relevant for the project in question:
- The top part of the diagram deals with the system requirements, regulatory, contractual, safety, environmental etc., defining what the system must do.
- The middle part deals with the information flow from the sensors in the field, through data processing in the field and in offices, through to final reporting.
- The bottom part deals with the specific equipment at each stage in the information processing. In a large system, such as any pipeline system which has developed over many years and a variety of equipment may be used to achieve the functionality.
