The DigitalFlow GF868 is an ultrasonic flare gas mass flowmeter designed for high-performance flow measurement in challenging environments. It utilizes the Correlation Transit-Time technique, allowing it to measure velocity, volumetric, and mass flow rates accurately across a wide range of conditions, from 0.1 to 394 ft/s (0.03 to 120 m/s). The device is capable of handling a turndown ratio of 4000 to 1 and is independent of gas composition, making it suitable for various applications including flare gas, vent gas, hydrocarbon gases, biogases, and digester gases. The flowmeter features a compact, explosion-proof transmitter that can be installed close to the measurement point, simplifying wiring. It offers minimal maintenance due to its lack of moving parts and is tolerant to dirty or wet conditions. The DigitalFlow GF868 can be configured in one or two path setups, enhancing its versatility for different installation scenarios. Additionally, it can measure the net heating value (NHV) of flare gas, aiding in optimizing combustion efficiency and reducing emissions. The device is designed for easy serviceability and has field-proven installation techniques, making it a reliable choice for engineers looking to manage flare emissions and improve operational efficiency.
The DigitalFlow GF868 from Panametrics is a highly versatile, high performance flowmeter capable of many configurations with a large display and ample space for complicated wiring. Several options exist for I/O, including the ability to handle two flare lines with one box.
The DigitalFlow GF868 is ideally suited in Zone 2 applications but can be fitted with a Zone 1 enclosure when required. Setup is simple through its large display and intuitive interface.
The DigitalFlow GF868 works with all Panametrics gas transducers and is backwards compatible with all older model Panametrics meters, including the original 7100 and its digital replacement, the 7168.
