01 / The challenge
The Challenge
Reliable airflow measurement is essential to maintaining process efficiency and operational performance within large chemical processing facilities. The project required flow measurement solutions capable of delivering accurate and stable measurements across a wide range of pipe sizes while meeting demanding process conditions.
02 / McMenon's solution
McMenon's Solution
McMenon supplied a total of 72 Qbar™ Averaging Pitot Tubes, with sizes ranging from 8" to 60".
The probes were manufactured from 316/316L stainless steel with carbon steel process connections, providing durability and long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
Each probe was engineered to allow connection to up to three differential pressure transmitters simultaneously through three independent tapping point sets, providing increased installation flexibility and operational capability.
To further enhance measurement performance, the probes incorporate specially designed slotted sensing ports, delivering improved measurement accuracy and stable flow sensing across the operating range.
