Emerson Smart Meter Verification software

Emerson has launched the latest version of its Smart Meter Verification software for Coriolis and magnetic flow meters, providing flow meter verification on demand.

Updated tools in the Smart Meter Verification software allow users to fine-tune and adjust their engineering processes to ensure absolute measurement confidence and top performance in the chemicals, food and beverage, life sciences, oil and gas, and other process industries. In addition to onboard diagnostics, Smart Meter Verification also accelerates implementation of companies’ IIoT strategies with its remote diagnostics, digital intelligence and multiple data points, providing users with a complete process overview and greater operational certainty.

Rather than time-consuming calibrations and laboratory testing, leading to production interruptions, shutdowns and safety concerns, Smart Meter Verification provides in situ calibration verification on demand without any impact on process or meter outputs. The system also provides operators with crucial information on other flow issues across the plant.

Key features include algorithms that detect coating, corrosion and erosion in the meter; process diagnostic capabilities that include a ‘flow range’ diagnostic, which alerts the engineer when flow rates are not within the specified range of the meter; instrument diagnostics that can identify if entrained gas is in the process; and immediate alerts to process upsets that may affect measurement performance.

The system also provides clear and transparent verification audit trails, and advanced visual analysis and reporting software that meets third-party regulatory agency compliance requirements in lieu of meter calibration, inspection or removal.
