Enhanced diagnostics & troubleshooting of flow measurements

Measurement Data: from Well to Awareness


STANDARD AND CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
Flow-Xplore is an out-of-the-box Human Machine Interface for Flow-X flow computers. In case a custom solution is
required, Flow-Xplore offers a high level of flexibility and can be customized according to your specific requirements
and project needs.

Contact us and Xplore new possibilities.

The familiar built-in web-based interface of the Flow-X series of flow computers offers an attractive user interface which is
more than adequate for many flow computer applications and systems.

When more advanced functionality is required, such as troubleshooting of electronic flow meters, our Flow-Xplore User
Interface can be connected to up to 8 flow computers and offers many additional features besides trouble-shooting. The
device can be used for advanced meter diagnostics, performance monitoring and offers additional report storage and
printing, combined alarm- and event management and more.

The Flow-Xplore User Interface is standard offered on an all-in-one desktop computer equipped full color touch screen. The
softwareonly edition of the Flow-Xplore User Interface can be installed on a separate Windows based computer as well.

ADVANCED METER DIAGNOSTICS


For Coriolis and Ultrasonic Meters
Smart Flow meters have self-diagnostic capabilities. They
can detect and indicate failures in their electronics as well
as input and output signals. The meters also have more
advanced diagnostics to analyze the trend in deviations
from a “reference status”, which was determined at the
factory calibration or the initial meter startup.

Flow-Xplore offers a special advanced feature for coriolis


meters. A deviation in the ‘tube damping factor’ from the
reference value indicates mechanical charges like coating
or another type of build-up on the tube walls and for
corrosion and abrasion of the meter tubes. Fluctuations in
‘tube frequency’ and ‘tube damping’ indicate possible gas
in the fluid. Asymmetry in sensor signals indicate potential
mechanical damage to the meter internals.

Flow-Xplore provides a real-time and centralized overview


of these diagnostics for all the meters and clearly indicates
warning and failure conditions to the user. Furthermore
Flow-Xplore checks if there are conflicts between
the configuration of the meters and the Flow-X flow
computers with respect to measurement, which simplifies
the system startup and troubleshooting process.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY
Real-time and historical Trending
Real-time graphical trending charts of temperature,
pressure and density provide you with accurate
and detailed information upon which you can react
immediately if necessary. This information is logged and
is also available in historical trending reports.

System Overview and Totals


The user interface provides a total system overview
of all data of 4 different flow computers. When a flow
computer is plugged in, its I/O and tags are automatically
detected and implemented in the system.

Hardware
The Flow-Xplore interface can be installed on most
desktop computers and laptops. In the standard version,
Flow-Xplore is supplied on an all-in-one touch screen
desktop PC.
