Measuring molten sulphur flow
Measuring molten sulphur flow
(OP)
We are looking at measuring the flow of molten sulphur (150 deg. C) through a 6" steam jacketed line. Any ideas for a suitable type of meter

RE: Measuring molten sulphur flow
Enersul (formerly Procor, Calgary Alberta) have told
me that they have good experience with vortex meters.
That is what they have used in their forming
facilities to flow control liquid sulphur.
The latest and greatest is corriolis or mass flow
meters which have very high accuracy and can be used
for custody transfer if this is an issue. Fluor
Arabia recommended these for our forming expansion
project. Elmo Nasato of Goar Allison & Associates was
telling me just the other day that, mass flow meters
are used in this service with very high accuracy.
In either case you have to be very sure the thing is
jacketed for heavily traced and insulted. Don't let
it freeze!

I saw even annubar type DP meters working satisfactorily for sulphuric acid plants. (SO3 measurement)
One thing not clear to me is, why for measurement of molten sulphur we require multi variable mass (is it density compensation?) meters?
Regards,
Truth: Even the hardest of the problems will have atleast one simple solution. Mine may not be one.

Yes, you can measure the density as well!!
Going on a trip now, be back the 17th June!
