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

在advo - 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、天然气和化工市场。在苛刻和具有挑战性的部门中，对操作的需求不断增加，这为科隆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，年总销售额为18,000个，其中15,000个来自英国的制造。为了满足这一业务需求，我们已经确定，我们必须克服与开发我们的产品线相关的技术挑战，使用新的，高度耐腐蚀的材料，如双相，超级双相和超级双相不锈钢。为了实现这一目标，我们已经确定了关键的项目合作伙伴Langley Alloys和TWI，他们在基材和真空钎焊方面的专业知识将大大降低项目的风险。该项目将探索与产品设计、替代钎焊填充金属成分和制造过程相关的创新机会。KROHNE的OPTIMASS 2000系列大型直管科氏流量计尤其成功。它们提供了一种独特的专利配置，在安装范围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。通常这些都是由标准不锈钢制造的，我们已经确定了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.
