Enhancing Accuracy and Reliability in Gas Measurement: A Case Study on DP Flow Meters

Jim Cahill — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 01:00:12 GMT

In the dynamic world of industrial gas supply, accuracy and reliability are paramount. We recently explored a transformative solution implemented by a leading gas plant provider that delivered remarkable results for a Taiwanese multinational company. This company supplies industrial gases to various sectors, including medical, chemical, and electronic fabrication, and operates in over eighty countries.

The Application

Gas plants are critical to ensuring the consistent supply of essential gases like nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, helium, and carbon dioxide. Accurate flow measurement within these plants is vital not only for optimizing operations but also for maintaining safety and compliance standards, especially in high-purity applications like semiconductor manufacturing.

Figure 1. An exterior view of the gas plant, like the customer’s site, that would supply gases to the main plant from the utility wing of the plant.

The Challenge

The company offers customized onsite gas generation solutions that deliver bulk volumes of industrial gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, to a variety of industries. These offerings include full-service installation, operation, and maintenance of the gas supply system.

The end user required a highly accurate flow meter capable of maintaining precision across varying flow rates. The main priorities were to achieve accurate readings in both high and low flow conditions, reduce shutdown frequency, and increase overall production uptime. They also needed a consistent flowmeter type that could be applied uniformly throughout the production line.

At the time, the facility was using diaphragm gas meters and thermal mass flow meters, both of which produced unsatisfactory results. Thermal mass flow meters required gas-specific calibration and were only suitable for clean, non-abrasive media with known thermal properties. These devices also came with high capital expenditures. Diaphragm gas meters, which use mechanical components, required regular maintenance and were generally limited to smaller pipes operating at low flow rates and pressures.

As a result, the plant experienced significant downtime due to the need for annual audits and calibrations. These limitations prevented the implementation of predictive maintenance strategies and restricted the range and flexibility of their flow measurement process.

Figure 2. Working Principle of the Thermal Mass Flowmeters (left) and the Diaphragm Gas Meters (right) that resulted in poor accuracies during audited calibrations.

The Solution

To address these issues, Emerson provided a solution using a combination of the Rosemount™ 3051SMV MultiVariable™ Transmitter and the Rosemount™ 3051SFC Compact Orifice Flow Meter, designed to deliver high flow measurement accuracy, including temperature-compensated flow. This setup supported predictive maintenance strategies by eliminating the need for frequent manual calibration and costly annual gas audits.

Optimized for variable flow applications across both high and low flow conditions, the solution also removed the need to stack transmitters, simplifying the installation. The 3051SMV was utilized as a pay meter for billing transactions between the gas plant and the end user. As a mass flowmeter, it offered online calibration capabilities—performed annually without interrupting the gas supply—and proved to be a cost-effective and scalable choice.

Each gas line in the facility transported different gases—including nitrogen (N₂), oxygen (O₂), hydrogen (H₂), helium (He), and carbon dioxide (CO₂)—across various pipe sizes. This complexity previously required frequent calibration and equipment replacement. In high-purity applications like semiconductor manufacturing, any disassembly of the flow meter also triggered an N₂ purging process, adding further cost and downtime.

The Rosemount™ 3051S MultiVariable™ Transmitter simplified operations by enabling measurement of multiple variables using a single model number. This not only reduced the need for stacked transmitters and extra wiring, but also minimized pipe penetrations and connection systems—key for cost-efficiency and maintaining gas purity.

Depending on process needs, the system could be equipped with a compact orifice plate, 4-hole conditioning orifice plate, or averaging pitot tube. These options provided reliable measurements across closed-loop control, general process monitoring, and custody transfer applications. Emerson’s time-tested orifice technologies followed well-established manufacturing standards and were proven to perform under a wide range of installation and process conditions.

Following the success of the initial deployment, the customer expanded implementation, replacing 40 to 60 sets of older metering systems with Emerson’s solution over the course of two to three years. This upgrade—initiated by one of the largest semiconductor plants in Taiwan—marked a full-scale shift from conventional gas meters to Emerson’s 1595 DP Flow technology and Rosemount™ 3051S MultiVariable™ Transmitter.

The Results

The implementation resulted in significantly improved measurement accuracy across both high and low flow conditions. The customer achieved mass flow rate accuracy of up to ±1.0%, which enabled online calibration for the pay meter application—removing the need for costly shutdowns during annual audits.

With enhanced data accuracy and sensor stability, the solution contributed to better decision-making and helped prevent unplanned downtime. By enabling predictive maintenance and streamlining gas flow operations, the Emerson system supported the customer’s goals for safety, reliability, and continuous plant uptime.

Customer Experience

“The Rosemount™ 3051S MultiVariable™ Transmitter, fully assembled with the 1595 Conditioning Orifice Plate, helped improve operational certainty across key parameters such as safety and reliability—while enabling us to move toward predictive maintenance.” – A large Semiconductor Plant in Taiwan

Conclusion

This case study highlights how Emerson’s advanced flow measurement solutions can address the complex challenges faced by industrial gas providers. By deploying the Rosemount™ 3051S MultiVariable™ Transmitter and 1595 Conditioning Orifice Plate, the customer streamlined operations, improved billing accuracy, and moved confidently toward predictive maintenance. For industries where gas purity, process stability, and cost efficiency are mission-critical, Emerson’s technologies offer a proven path forward.

Non-Intrusive Pipeline Flow Measurement

Jim Cahill — Thu, 22 May 2025 22:07:16 GMT

At the Emerson Exchange 2025 Conference, Emerson’s Fabian Reichwald presented, Save Costs and Time with Flexim Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meters. Here is his presentation abstract.

Due to its practical advantages, non-intrusive flow measurement with clamp-on ultrasonic technology has evolved from a niche technology to a standard procedure used in many industries worldwide. Non-intrusive means no opening of pipework, so full system availability is given at all times. The wear-free design also enables enormous cost advantage over the entire life cycle. Generally, there is no risk of leakage of hazardous media. Flexim has decisively driven this development forward as a pioneer. In our presentation, we will give an introduction to the technical basics of measurement technology as well as an overview of our product portfolio. The focus will be on demonstrating the practical benefits in terms of time and cost savings in specific application examples from various industries.

Fabian opened his presentation by explaining how ultrasonic sensors work. A pair of sensors acts alternately as transmitter and receiver. The ultrasonic signal passed between the sensors is accelerated in the direction of the flow and braked against the flow. The time difference between the signals is proportional to the flow velocity. From this time difference, the volume flow is calculated based on the pipe parameters.

The instrumentation includes transducers and a transmitter.

The Flexim solution can measure flow for liquids, gases, and steam. Liquids in pipes from 0.24 inches to 256 inches and gases from 0.28” to 63”. Almost all pipe materials are suitable for Flexim application, including metals, alloys, plastics, glass, and more.

Precision for liquid measurement is 0.15% with an uncertainty of +/-1%, and for gas measurement, the same precision with +/-2%.

Minimum pipe pressure for gases is 44 psi, with no limit on maximum pressure, since the transducers are externally clamped on. The standard transducer can handle temperature ranges from -40°F to 266°F. The high-temperature transmitter can handle temperatures up to 392°F. The Flexim WaveInjector handles a temperature range from -310°F to 1166°F.

The Flexim Transmitter series includes the 4 series, 5 series, 6 series, 7 series, and 8 series. The FLUXUS 7series is designed for stationary liquids, flow & gas flow measurement.

These transmitters are used in a wide range of industries and applications:

Chemical industry
Petrochemical industry
Oil and gas industry
Pharmaceutical industry
Manufacturing industries
Building technology/energy management

The FLUXUS 5series is a compact stationary meter for dedicated applications such as water & wastewater, thermal energy, semiconductor clean rooms, compressed air and technical gases, saturated stem volume and mass flow measurement.

The FLUXUS 8series are high performance flow transmitter for FM Class 1, Division 1 and ATEX/IECEx zone 1 hazardous zones for liquid, gases applications.

The FLUXUS 6series 601 and 608 models are non-intrusive multi-purpose portable meters. The FLUXUS 4series model 401 meter is a portable and robust non-intrusive flowmeter for water applications.

Fabian shared numerous applications including:

Semiconductor fab cooling water monitoring
High-pressure mass flow measurement for ethylene
Heat exchanger temporary and permanent performance monitoring
Sour gas volume & mass flow measurement

Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is a great solution for abrasive and dangerous media, cryogenic or high-temperature applications, very high-pressure media. They help improve operational safety performance.

Solving High-Pressure Hydrogen Fuelling Challenges with Micro Motion™︎ High Pressure Coriolis Flow Meters

Jim Cahill — Thu, 15 May 2025 07:00:29 GMT

As hydrogen fuel technology advances, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must guarantee accurate, safe and reliable fuelling solutions. Operating at pressures up to 700 bar, they present unique technical challenges.

To address the specific challenges associated with high-pressure hydrogen dispensing, Emerson’s Micro Motion™ High Pressure Coriolis (HPC) Flow Meter delivers exceptional performance by combining precision, durability and real-time data insights.

The Challenges of High-Pressure Hydrogen Dispensing

OEMs designing hydrogen fueling stations or dispenser systems face several engineering and operational challenges:

Extreme Pressure and Temperature: Hydrogen is dispensed at pressures up to 700 bar (10,000 psi) to achieve fast vehicle fill times, often with pre-cooling to −40 °C to manage temperature rise during filling. Meters must maintain accuracy across this wide pressure and temperature range without drift or damage.
Hydrogen Embrittlement and Leakage: Hydrogen can permeate and embrittle traditional metals, raising the risk of material fatigue or leaks over time. Components must withstand the chemical and mechanical aggression of high-pressure hydrogen for years of service without failure.
Accuracy and Compliance: For custody transfer, measurement accuracy is paramount. Hydrogen is costly, so end-users and regulators demand precise metering to ensure each kilogram dispensed is correctly measured. International standards like OIML R139 mandate rigorous accuracy and repeatability for hydrogen dispensers. OEMs need metering solutions that meet these standards to certify their stations.
Rapid Fuelling and Wide Flow Range: Hydrogen vehicles – from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks – require rapid fills. A meter might see flow rates varying from a slow trickle at start/stop to very high flow during peak filling. For example, passenger vehicle protocols (SAE J2601-1) require up to ~3.6 kg/min flow at 700 bar, and heavy-duty fuelling can approach ~9 kg/min.
Maintenance and Downtime: Given the hazardous and high-pressure environment, minimizing maintenance is crucial. Traditional meters or multi-device setups may require frequent calibration, filter changes, or have moving parts that wear out. Each intervention means station downtime and potential safety exposure. OEMs need a robust, low-maintenance solution to keep hydrogen dispensers running reliably with minimal service interventions.

Precision and Reliability with Emerson’s Micro Motion HPC Series

Emerson’s Micro Motion HPC flow meters are purpose-built to excel under high-pressure hydrogen fueling conditions. The HPC series (including models like the HPC015 and the newer HPC020) leverages the proven Coriolis flow measurement principle in an enhanced design for ultra-high pressures. Key features that enable HPC meters to tackle OEM challenges include:

High Accuracy & Repeatability: Micro Motion HPC meters provide ±0.5% mass flow accuracy (batch) under hydrogen dispensing conditions. Even as pressures fluctuate and flow rates ramp up or down, the meter maintains custody-transfer accuracy so that every kilogram of H₂ is measured with confidence. The HPC platform successfully obtained the strict OIML R139 metrology certification for hydrogen dispensers, proving it delivers its best performance even at the largest flow rates and harsh conditions. OEMs can meet global weights and measures requirements using HPC meters as the fiscal measuring device.
Wide Operating Range: Thanks to advanced sensor design, an HPC meter can accurately cover the full range of dispensing flow rates from idle to maximum fill. The original HPC015 was designed to meet the SAE J2601-1 fueling standard of ~3.6 kg/min for both 350 bar and 700 bar systems. The latest HPC020 expands that capability with a nominal flow rate of up to 9.0 kg/min to accommodate the rapid fills needed for larger trucks and buses. Despite the higher capacity, HPC020 still maintains the same ±0.5% accuracy, ensuring even heavy-duty vehicle fills are measured precisely.
No Moving Parts, No Incremental Drift: Being a true Coriolis meter, the HPC sensor has no moving parts in the flow stream. This design inherently avoids wear and drift, meaning repeatable accuracy over time. Unlike mechanical meters, the Coriolis measures mass flow and density in real time. The result is a stable output that OEMs and end-users can trust every day, on every fill.

Real-Time Data for Smarter Operations

In addition to providing accurate mass flow measurement, the HPC flow meter delivers real-time diagnostic and process data. Emerson offers proprietary Smart Meter Verification (SMV) technology built into the meter. SMV is a diagnostic routine that periodically checks the health of the meter (for both sensor and transmitter) without removing it from service. It can detect issues like sensor coating, erosion, or other degradation by analyzing the meter’s internal signals. This enables OEMs to monitor system performance, identify anomalies early, and optimise the dispensing process for consistency and efficiency. The result is minimising unplanned downtime and improving overall process stability.

Meeting Industry Standards

The Micro Motion HPC flow meters are designed to comply to both key industry standards for hydrogen refuelling such as SAE J2601-1 and SAE J2601-2, as well as batch-level accuracy and performance requirements defined in the international recommendation OIML R139 for compressed gaseous fuel measuring systems for vehicles and similar fiscal metering guidelines. This makes it a perfect fit for dispenser applications where precise, certified measurement is required.

Additionally, the meter is constructed using materials and fabrication processes in accordance with ASME B31.3 Chapter IX, ensuring mechanical integrity in high-pressure hydrogen environments and addressing concerns such as hydrogen embrittlement.

This level of compliance enables OEMs to integrate the HPC meter into their systems with confidence, knowing it supports the necessary certifications for market access and contributes to safe, verifiable fuel delivery in commercial hydrogen applications.

Emerson’s Commitment to OEMs and Innovation in Alternative Fuels

Emerson recognizes that the transition to hydrogen and other alternative fuels is a collaborative journey. The development of the Micro Motion HPC product line itself was driven by close engagement with OEMs in the hydrogen fueling space, ensuring the meters meet real-world needs. Emerson’s team has worked hand-in-hand with dispenser manufacturers and industry bodies to align the design with emerging standards. This collaborative approach means customers get a solution that is fit-for-purpose from day one, and they can expect Emerson to be a long-term partner, ready to support new requirements as hydrogen infrastructure evolves.

Emerson’s focus on OEM collaboration in the alternative fuels space is reflected in the words of Joanne Brooks-Kinder, European OEM Sales Manager:

“ Our collaboration with OEMs focuses on understanding their unique needs and delivering tailored flow measurement solutions. The Micro Motion HPC flow meter represents our dedication to innovation, safety, and reliability in hydrogen dispensing. By working closely with OEMs, we ensure our solutions not only meet but often exceed their expectations, advancing the industry in alternative fuels”

Conclusion

As the hydrogen refueling industry accelerates, OEMs require instrumentation that they can count on to meet the extreme demands of high-pressure service. Emerson’s Micro Motion High-Pressure Coriolis Flow Meters provide a compelling answer to this need. By delivering unmatched accuracy, rugged durability, and intelligent diagnostics, the HPC series allows OEMs to overcome the challenges of hydrogen dispensing – from precision metering and safety compliance to maintenance reduction and data-driven operations.
