Not at home! - Domestic gas supply is delivered through a 6-15mm diameter pipe at just over atmospheric pressure (1Bar+). Imagine a pipe of 100-2,000mm diameter at pressures of up to 180Bar, the volume changes, by how much depends on what the gas or liquid is. Flow bill which can run to many millions of £/$ per hour.
Flow measurements are usually taken either at the point of production or point of use, although there may be others in between such as: • Oil rigs and gas platforms. Extraction of hydrocarbons from underground and can be offshore or onshore. Measurements of both quantity and quality are taken since these are crude products which usually contain
• Storage sites these. Storage sites are used to buffer production and demand. These can be above ground tanks, or underground caverns, converted for storage. • International transfer Langeled gas pipeline from Norway to the UK, measurements are required to ensure the correct quantity is recorded. This particularly true when the two countries use different base conditions of pressure and temperature, or different metric and imperial units, or different standards of calculation. • Truck and Ship loading/unloading. Ships are often used to move product from one country to another. Trucks can be used to deliver product to off
• Factories and industrial processes. Very high energy demand processes, such as steel and cement works and brick kilns are required by EU legislation to have accurate measurements of usage, which can also be
computers.
• Standby electricity generation stations. These are placed at strategic locations, ready to deliver electricity at short notice by using, for example,
running on gas. These sites can be started and shutdown very quickly, usually within 15-20 minutes. This is compared to a coal and nuclear power
are especially useful on days when wind and solar are not able to output enough to meet demand.
• Key points in the distribution network, this helps to manage the system but can also be used to detect leaks or theft. • Biogas injection sites minimum level before injecting into the national grid. • Hydrogen generation. Mostly standalone but could be used much like a Biogas Injection site, or in a closed system, to store wind and solar energy.
as BS8609:2014. By accurately measuring what fuel goes in and energy
to predict maintenance requirements and pollution released from the process. • Steam as a byproduct of electricity generation and other processes can be sold to other nearby factories a means of saving energy used for heating water. Steam is used during steel production for both heating and cooling, as well as mechanical power.

Three-way ball sector valve with electric actuator
With the new type 4083, Schubert & Salzer presents a three- way ball sector valve with electric actuator for operation in diverting or mixing functions. The quarter turn valve with a supply voltage of 24–240 V DC/AC (50/60 Hz) enables high-precision control over a wide control range with Kvs values that are around 20% higher than those of common alternatives. Due to the special contour of the ball sector, valve position.
Due to their unique properties, electrically or pneumatically actuated three-way ball sector valves offer particularly high added value in the temperature control and mixing processes of the steel, chemical, food and beverage industries as well as in power generation, the manufacture of plastic and rubber products and for use in test benches.

https://controlsystems.schubert-salzer.com Metering nanocomposites for 3D printing
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a transformational technology enabling the creation of complex objects, which are built in layers from a 3D drawing. in which high strength and durable components can be created without large investments in moulds and lengthy manufacturing times. Our latest case study delves into a project enquiry we received for a peristaltic metering pump where the customer required a solution to transfer nanocomposites for stereolithography or 3D printing. They wanted to recirculate a very abrasive high performance composite ceramic resin from a container to a machine which manufactured 3D Printed parts. The pump had to run constantly whenever the SLA printing uninterrupted operation. stop it settling out.
