Overview

Metering systems that transfer ownership of a liquid or gas between buyer and seller are basically large cash registers. In addition to technical requirements these systems must also comply with the applicable metrological requirements. These are often complex and require in-depth subject knowledge. Our KROHNE experts can provide you with expertise and consultancy throughout the process, from the discussions with local metrology institutes over the required metering concept, up to the operational and maintenance concepts for your installations. KROHNE has a local presence in over 100 countries with direct access to local requirements and approval bodies.

Designing the optimal metering system with an unambiguous functional design specification requires specific skills and experience. As a long-term manufacturer of flowmeters, instrumentation, flow computers and supervisory software, KROHNE engineers cover all the disciplines required to achieve a cost effective, fit-for-purpose design. Piping stress calculations, E&I diagrams, metrological test requirements, FAT, SAT and commissioning procedures, amongst others, are all engineered in-house by our experienced specialists.

Product features and options depend on device configuration: Contact us to make sure that your preferred functionality can be combined in one device.
