Development of advanced, highly corrosion resistant Coriolis mass flow meters (Adv-Flow)

在ADV-FLOW方面，我们将开发下一代先进的高温科里奥利质量流量计。该项目瞄准的大型生产线产品特别适合石油、天然气和化工市场。在要求苛刻和具有挑战性的部门，对运营的需求日益增长，这为Krohne创造了基于先进材料开发新产品线的机会。我们最先进的科里奥利流量计被公认为是世界领先的，年总销量为18,000台，其中15,000台来自英国的制造厂。为了满足这一业务需求，我们已经确定，我们必须克服使用新型高耐蚀材料(如双相、超级双相和超级双相不锈钢)开发我们的产品线所面临的技术挑战。为了实现这一目标，我们已经确定了关键的项目合作伙伴朗利合金公司和TWI公司，他们在基础材料和真空铜焊方面的专业知识将显著降低项目风险。该项目将探索与产品设计、替代钎料金属成分和制造工艺相关的创新机会。KROHNE在OPTIMASS 2000系列大型直管科里奥利流量计方面尤其成功。它们提供了独特的专利配置，在安装包络和低压降方面为最终用户带来了好处。这有利于最终用户降低安装和泵送成本。通常，这些都是用标准不锈钢制造的，我们已经确定了开发具有优异耐腐蚀性的新产品的机会。

In Adv-Flow we will develop the next generation of advanced, high temperature Coriolis mass flow meters. The large line size products that this project is targeting are particularly suited to the oil and gas, and chemical markets. The increasing demand for operation in demanding and challenging departments has created the opportunity for KROHNE to develop new product lines based on advanced materials. Our state of the art Coriolis flowmeters are recognised as being world leading with total annual sales of 18,000 of which 15,000 is from manufacturing based in the UK.In order to meet this business need, we have identified that we must overcome the technical challenges associated with developing our product lines using new, highly corrosion resistant materials e.g. duplex, super duplex and hyper duplex stainless steels. To achieve this we have identified critical project partners Langley Alloys and TWI for their expertise in the base materials and vacuum brazing, which will significantly de-risk the project. The project will explore opportunities for innovation related to product design, alternative braze filler metal compositions and within the manufacturing process.KROHNE has been particularly successful with its OPTIMASS 2000 line of large straight tube Coriolis meters. These offer a unique patented configuration that gives benefits to the end user in terms of installation envelope and low pressure drop. This benefits the end user in lower installation and pumping costs. Typically these are manufactured from standard stainless steels and we have identified an opportunity for new products with superior corrosion resistance.
