NGL metering station
NGL metering station is designed for direct or indirect dynamic measurements of weight and product parameters. It is a set of measuring instruments, information processing systems, process equipment and other technical means located at different points of the controlled facility, functioning as a single whole and intended to obtain information about the measured parameters of the product and measurement conditions, automatic and manual processing of measurement results, indication and registration of measurement results and the results of their processing. When measuring product weight using dynamic methods, product in the pipeline shall be in a single-phase liquid state.
Depending on the climatic conditions of the area, NGL metering stations can be manufactured of open type (on a frame) and closed type (in a heated block-box). General design of the metering station is highly resistant to negative impacts, elevated temperatures and mechanical damage. Volumetric, coriolis (mass) and ultrasonic meters are used as flow transducers in NGL metering stations.
