High capacity flow control and measurement systems offer advantages over installing individual components, according to the author. In this article, he lists the advantages and types of equipment available. A typical prepackaged, pretested high capacity flow control and measurement system is shown. This system includes positive displacement flowmeters, strainers, flow control valves, block and bleed shut-off valves, bi-directional meter provers and remote instrument console; all pre-assembled on skid frames with electrical conduit, electro-hydraulic power supply, sampler system, pipe, fittings and manifolding., This particular system is designed to measure and control the flow of crude oil loading tankers from a single buoy mooring point.
