The SFC3000 stream laptop from Sussex based mostly Ex-i Stream Measurement Ltd is a extremely versatile liquid hydrocarbon and gasoline stream measuring system able to working in a stand-alone single-stream stream measurement system or as a part of a extremely complicated multi-stream system.
The SFC3000 is excess of only a devoted stream laptop. It might function on a lot of ranges from a supervisory machine to a standalone stream laptop or as a system element. With its contact display screen VGA show and intensive processing capabilities, mixed with simple-to-use controls and distinctive working software program, it will possibly perform as a whole station supervisor built-in right into a stream laptop housing.

Designed particularly to satisfy the wants of the worldwide liquid hydrocarbon and gasoline measurement markets, the SFC3000 is meant to positively contribute to each administration and conservation of the world’s dwindling power assets by offering each versatile and correct measurement and incorporating cutting-edge designs and elements.
The SFC3000 stream laptop must be thought of the “brains” of a stream measurement system and requires a lot of peripheral elements to take measurements. In its easiest type, a stream measurement system will encompass:
- An SFC3000 stream laptop with 1 I/O choice board
- A stream meter (turbine, ultrasonic, differential strain or Coriolis)
- A strain sensor (HART or 4-20mA)
- A temperature sensor (Hart, 4-20mA or PT100 Platinum Resistance Thermometer).
Be aware: strain and temperature sensors should not wanted with a Coriolis stream meter, and extra strain sensors are required for a differential strain meter.
Turbine, ultrasonic and Coriolis stream meters might be linked utilizing a pulse enter, both as a single or twin pulse prepare. Alternatively, ultrasonic and Coriolis stream meters might be linked by way of the RS232/485 serial port out there on every of the IO choice boards.
Extra performance might be added to a fundamental system together with elective I/O boards. With the addition of a communication board knowledge might be obtained from a gasoline chromatograph or different sources by way of the serial or ethernet ports. Stream measurement knowledge can be handed to different techniques, such printers or DCS, by way of the communication board ports. Logged knowledge might be saved internally or in an elective SD card. A density measurement cell might be linked to a pulse or 4-20mA enter.
SFC3000 stream laptop key options:
- Measurement conforming to AGA, ISO, API requirements of: dry and moist pure gasoline, hydrocarbon liquids, different gases e.g. nitrogen, different liquids e.g. water.
- NMi Certificates to: WELMEC 7.2 and eight.8, OIML R117, MID 2014/32/EU
- Commonplace Options: standalone stream computing perform, stream computing mixed with supervisory perform, as much as 2 G-byte extra reminiscence for Alarm, Audit and Information Logging, elective SD card required.
- Meter sorts: pulse producing stream meters, most typical ultrasonic stream meters, dp transmitters with orifice or venturi measurements
- Configurable Show: system diagrams, Trending and graphical shows, Language choices, Interfaces to most varieties of metering tools and all well-liked GC’s, Simple Set up and interfacing
- Supervisory Options, Alarm/Occasion/Information Logging and Recording, Printer Report Technology, System Diagram Show, Community Communication, Station Controller Capabilities, Valve Management and Distant Operation.
- Upkeep Capabilities: stream summation, pid/sampler capabilities, stream laptop specification.
The SFC3000 is packaged in an trade Commonplace Half Width 3U Excessive 19” rack development appropriate for panel or chassis mount. It might accommodate as much as 6 consumer plug-in playing cards and as much as 5 measurement streams in the identical chassis. Working temperature ranges; PRT Inputs, -10°C to 55°C (15°F to 130°F), Hart® and 4-20mA Inputs -25°C to 55°C (-15°F to 130°F). Working humidity to 90% non-condensing and meets environmental lessons M2/E2.
The way forward for gasoline and liquid measurement and stream management innovates by way of a steady technique of evolution. As main stream laptop producers, Ex-i Stream Measurement specialises in researching, growing and manufacturing merchandise for the gasoline and liquid measurement trade, with a give attention to steady mission improvement and enhancement. EX-i supply prospects market main efficiency, high quality, reliability, value and response.
