Flowmeters meet Pressure Equipment Directive
Following the onerous procedure of showing compliance with the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 97/23/EC Lloyds Register has granted Torbar Flowmeters certification.
Flow and mass flow instrumentation packages
The Tribar is a fully integrated flow meter for liquid and gas flow measurement.
The Torbar averaging pitot tube Flowmeters comply with the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 97/23/EC, certification having been granted by Lloyds Register.
Furthermore the PED analysis established that the Torbar multi-port, self-averaging pitot tube flow meters were compliant without the need for any modifications to the design or construction.
Now all Torbar products are CE marked as mandatory in the EC but the same standards, already established by Torbar, also apply to products for world markets where the company is very active.
The certification is required for any item with a volume greater than 500 cubic centimetres and which is subject to pressures of half bar or more.
The standard range of Torbars is available for pipelines from 50mm to 8m diameter at pressures up to 100 bar and temperatures up to 500 deg C, for threaded, flanged and 'hot-tap' fittings.
Integral valve manifolds and temperature sensors provide for direct mounting of DP transmitters and for mass flow measurement.
Standard construction is 316L stainless steel and the design allows exotic metals and other materials to be specified.
All units are manufactured to BS, ANSI, ASME, ISO and DIN standards.
Material test certificates to EN 10204 (DIN 50049), pressure test, and conformity certificates are available for each instrument.
