Flow computers are used to measure, control, and monitor the flow of liquids, gases, or steam in a variety of industrial processes such as oil and gas production, power generation, water treatment, and chemical processing.
The flow computer measures the flow rate of the fluid and then uses this information to adjust the flow rate as needed, they are also used to calculate totalised flow rates, totalised energy, and other parameters. The flow computer can also be used to add data for other systems such as alarms, data logging, process control, and more.
Flow computers will:
- audit changes that have been made to any of the parameters required, turning the raw flow meter data into volumes
- record events and alarms related to the flow meter
- keep a running tally of the volume for each flow meter it monitors
- create a record of this volume on an hourly, daily, batch, or monthly basis
