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.

在Adv-Flow中，我们将开发下一代先进的高温科里奥利质量流量计。该项目针对的大型生产线产品特别适合石油和天然气以及化工市场。要求苛刻和具有挑战性的部门对操作的需求不断增加，为KROHNE开发基于先进材料的新产品线创造了机会。我们最先进的科里奥利流量计被认为是世界领先的，年总销售量为18，000台，其中15，000台来自英国的制造业。为了满足这一业务需求，我们已经确定，我们必须克服与使用新的高耐腐蚀材料（如双相，超级双相和超双相不锈钢。为了实现这一目标，我们已经确定了关键的项目合作伙伴兰利合金和TWI，他们在基础材料和真空钎焊方面的专业知识，这将大大降低项目的风险。该项目将探索与产品设计、替代钎料成分和制造工艺相关的创新机会。KROHNE的OPTIMASS 2000系列大型直管科里奥利流量计尤其成功。这些提供了一个独特的专利配置，使最终用户在安装信封和低压降方面的好处。这有利于最终用户降低安装和泵送成本。通常这些都是由标准的不锈钢制造，我们已经确定了一个机会，新产品具有上级耐腐蚀性。
