Client Background
A Nigeria industrial distributor approached us with a requirement for a highly accurate flow measurement solution suitable for soy oil and fish oil transfer lines. The end user operates in the edible oil processing sector and needed a robust instrument that could deliver stable readings despite fluid viscosity and temperature variations.
Application Requirements
Pipe Size: DN50
Flow Range: 0 – 20 m³/h
Connection Type: Union Threaded or Flanged acceptable
Output: Analogue or Digital (flexible)
Process Temperature: 20°C to 80°C
Fluid Specific Gravity: 0.88 – 0.95
Medium: Soybean oil and fish oil
Challenges
The application required precise mass flow measurement of viscous fluids with variable density. The client emphasized tight delivery timelines and needed assurance that the flowmeter would integrate easily with existing piping while maintaining long-term stability.
Our Solution
We recommended the ZE-CGQ-050-Y-1-W-1-S-150-IF-0.2 Coriolis Mass Flowmeter, designed to handle viscous media with high precision:
Sensor Type: Micro-bend Coriolis sensor
Flow Range: 2.5 – 50 m³/h
Accuracy: ±0.2% of reading
Wetted Parts: SS316L sensor tubes and SS304 flanges
Process Temperature Capability: –50°C to 125°C
Connection Type: Standard DIN 2502 PN16 Flange (DN50)
Outputs: RS485 (Modbus), 4–20mA, Pulse
Display: Integral LCD (English interface)
Power Supply: 24VDC
Explosion Proof Certification: ATEX & IECEx
Results
Upon receiving the confirmed payment, production was scheduled immediately to meet the urgent delivery expectations. The chosen flowmeter configuration fully met the end user’s process parameters while offering ease of installation and long-term reliability.
This case highlights our ability to deliver custom-engineered Coriolis flowmeter solutions for complex oil-based media, with fast turnaround and application-specific optimization.
