MODELS & CAPACITY

The bypass gas measurement loops are available in different standard sizes, any of which is added to a standard
MPFM-300 Series unit to complete a MPFM-400 Series unit. The size of the MPFM-300 used in the 400 model Process Measurement & Control
is based on the required liquid measurement capacity.

The following chart outlines which MPFM-400 Series meter would be used to handle flow rates for varying flow MPFM 400 Series
line sizes and gas to liquid ratios.

range and gas handling
capabilities of the
Multiphase Flow Meter.

ACCURACY
Accuracies are not affected by changes in salinity, viscosity, density, temperature, pressure or pH. Since the
MPFM-400 Series uses the MPFM-300 Series for core multiphase measurements, its accuracy is dictated by the
accuracy of the MPFM-300 as shown in the following table:

Oil Flow Rate 2% of full scale, plus 5% of reading

Water Flow Rate 2% of full scale , plus 5% of reading FEATURES: APPLICATIONS:

Gas Flow Rate 5% of full scale*, plus 5% of reading The ability to be used in all flow patterns High void fractions
Requires little maintenance High gas to liquid ratio
*Full scale depends on the size of the MPFM-400 Series bypass loop. Compact, portable, and easy to transport and Surging flow conditions
