FAQ

How accurate are your meters for multiphase oil, gas, and water pipelines?

ARTang Coriolis and ultrasonic flowmeters are engineered to handle multiphase fluids. With proper installation, calibration, and straight-run guidance, they deliver stable and repeatable measurements even under variable compositions, flow rates, and pressures.

Can your instruments withstand high pressure, high temperature, and corrosive fluids?

Yes. Our meters and transmitters use corrosion-resistant linings and robust electrodes (316L or Hastelloy) and are rated for high-pressure pipelines. They maintain accuracy and reliability in challenging oil and gas environments.

How can I install the meters on existing pipelines safely and efficiently?

ARTang provides installation guidance including recommended positions, straight-run requirements, bypass setups for maintenance, and mounting instructions to minimize downtime and ensure stable measurement.

Are the meters suitable for explosion-proof or hazardous environments?

Yes. Our instruments come with domestic explosion-proof certification and are designed for safe operation in upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities.
