LCMass™ Meter - Overview

The LCMass by Rheonik is a patented Coriolis mass flow meter with unique construction features that solve the problem of directly measuring the mass flow of liquids and gases.

Positive displacement, electromagnetic, and turbine meters are VOLUMETRIC meters that measure in volume units. Coriolis mass meters, in contrast, measure MASS UNITS (weight). Such measurements are common in many industries including the chemical industry for weight-based batching and blending.

The LCMass meters stand apart in industrial applications in these important areas:

• High accuracy for low flow applications below the practical limits of volumetric meters
• High temperature applications to 660°F
• High-flow and high-pressure applications

A complete installation includes an RHM Flow Sensor, and an RHE Remote Transmitter.

MARKETS:
Specific markets for LCMass meters include:

• Oil-field Exploration and Production
• Petroleum Refinery
• Petrochemical
• CNG (compressed natural gas)
• Paints and Coatings
• Pulp and Paper
• Pharmaceutical
• Food and Beverage
• Agriculture
• and More

Ideally Suited for:

• Very low-flow "drip flow" applications such as
  • laboratory
  • scientific
  • additive injection
  • batch
  • and others
• Very high-flow and high pressure applications

APPLICATIONS:
LCMass meters can be applied in a broad range of applications, but have found particular success in the very low flow applications found in many industrial installations, in the scientific community, laboratory systems, pilot plants and additive-injection applications. Similarly these meters are ideally suited for high temperature, high pressure and/or high flow applications because of the LCMass's unique construction features.

Typical application examples include:

• Fast batching in combination with an electronic batch or process controller, even for small quantities
• Metering in combination with high-pressure piston pumps (pulsating flow)
• Metering for high-temerature and high-pressure processes (up to 660°F)
• Metering for very low "drip" flow rates, e.g., 0.004 lbs/min
• Metering for highly corrosive liquids, e.g., bromine compounds

Regardless of application, the high accuracy of the device is not significantly affected by changes in pressure, temperature, density, viscosity, flow profiles and multiphase fluids.
