On the distribution side of the hydrocarbon supply chain, Endress+Hauser provides precise instrumentation with no moving parts. In addition, Fieldgate transmits measurement data automatically back to the office for remote monitoring and control

Due to their accuracy, low price and maintenance-free operation, Promass Coriolis mass flow meters are continuously replacing the classic PD meters. One great advantage over PD meters is that Promass does not need to be regularly calibrated. A two year period is sufficient, as recommended by most weights and measures autho-rities. Direct mass measurement is another advantage, since LPG volume varies even with small temperature changes such as those during the day. Also, the very small size makes Promass an easy retrofit. Customer surveys on weight bridges showed incredible accuracies and repeatability.
LPG bottling station
Returned LPG bottles are not always fully empty. For that reason, a weight bridge system measures and calculates the exact quantity missing. The correct batch based on the missing mass is controlled by Promass. Employing the guided radar Levelflex on bullets and spheres, customers now have a radar level measurement solution requiring no additional block valve below the radar device. This is due to the antenna of Levelflex with maintenance-free feed-through. Additionally, the transmitter can be removed from the antenna at any time without the need to shutdown the process.
CNG gas stations
With the increasing number of vehicles running on compressed natural gas (CNG), there is consequently an increasing amount of CNG gas stations. The extremely compact CNGmass for natural gas refueling can be easily built into each gasoline pump. Its excellent measurement accuracy and repeatability always guarantee that vehicle owners receive the exact amount of fuel that they pay for - down to the cent!
Airport fuel trucks
Many international airports use mass flow measurement for airplane fueling. Promass is ideal due to its small size and fits easily on the refueling truck.
