NDT flaw detectors are large pocket size
A family of flaw detectors allow eddy current inspection for crack and corrosion detection and conductivity and coating thickness measurement in the most difficult of environments.
Hand-held, test/calibration system is modular
A hand held test and calibration system combines advanced multi-function calibrator with 'world-class' pressure measurement and generation.
The Sentinel can be used for such typical natural gas applications as transmission, distribution and storage, or for any measurement point where high accuracy is needed.
"GE Sensing has long been a leader in ultrasonic flowmeter technology, especially in clamp-on technology, Bundle Waveguide Technology for LNG, and for specific applications like flare gas flow measurement," says Jacob Freeke, product line manager for GE Sensing.
"The Sentinel provides our customers with a new approach to custodial transfer, and applies our advanced transducer and signal processing technology to fiscal natural gas flow measurement with a flow accuracy of 0.1%, relative to the calibration of the facility." Sentinel is available in pipe sizes ranging from 4 to 24 inches and meets AGA9 criteria.
The system uses a two- diametrical-path, single-traverse meter body design with a 10 diameter upstream pipe run and a flow conditioning plate.
This configuration provides sufficient flow conditioning to handle any upstream flow disturbance and provides a well-known flow profile at the meter body.
Advanced Panametrics ultrasonic transducer technology, combined with signal processing optimized for speed and robustness, give the system the capability to operate even in air at atmospheric pressure - important for field verification of the meter system during commissioning.
