DIGITAL SUPPORT FOR VALVE ACTUATORS E
lectric actuator manufacturer AUMA presents
Coralink, its new digital ecosystem. Coralink supports plant operators across all phases of the plant’s lifecycle, from commissioning and predictive maintenance to active life cycle management of their AUMA actuators. Plant operators can ensure sustained plant availability and benefit from simple and efficient processes in everyday operation. At the heart of Coralink is the ability to evaluate the extensive operating data that AUMA actuators record automatically in their
Coralink helps plant operators ensure sustained plant availability while benefitting from simple and efficient processes around AUMA actuators
role as intelligent field devices. The data can easily be read from each actuator, including via a smartphone. A new feature is a detailed action plan with concrete recommendations for action, which is accessible through just a few clicks. These
recommendations are based on the combined expertise of AUMA service experts and decades of field experience. Plant operators can thus identify maintenance requirements at an early stage and take corrective measures in good time. Coralink also provides easy online access to documentation, spare parts ordering and AUMA service experts. Coralink is scalable and can be used to check the
condition of individual critical actuators, to monitor all the actuators on a plant, or to implement IIoT solutions. l

VALIDATING CORIOLIS METER PERFORMANCE T
ÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory, the world’s foremost authority on flow measurement
technology, has launched an international research project to validate the performance of Coriolis meters when used in multiphase flows. The research will be one of the first of its kind in the world to validate the performance of Coriolis meters in multiphase flow situations, with the
aim of delivering increased confidence in measurement results and improved fiscal accuracy for oil and gas operators. Coriolis meters are one of the most
accurate flow metering technologies for single phase flow measurement and have a significant global market share. However, many manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of Coriolis technology beyond its traditional single flow use and into multiphase phase flow situations. Currently, operators have no way to substantiate the multiphase performance in both flowrate and density measurements. Dr Chris Mills, Senior
Consultant at TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory, is leading the research programme

and said: “Ultimately, the project will provide large-scale, independent validation for the first time. This will enable operators to make informed decisions about the use of Coriolis technology in multiphase flows, saving them precious resource and money. We are looking for project partners to join us in this ground-breaking new project to understand the accuracy of Coriolis technology when used in two and three phase flows. “We will work with sponsors to
research meter performance in our Advanced Multiphase Facility - a high- pressure, high-flow rate multiphase facility. The target areas will be focused on liquid continuous flows with various quantities of water liquid ratio and small quantities of gas volume fraction.” l
