Dual chamber & Dual isolation Orifice Meter
Description
The EPS meter2di “Dual Chamber Orifice fitting with Double Isolation” is a proven system for safely and quickly inspecting and changing orifice plates in line with strict industry guidelines.
The meter2di solution is compliant with HSG253 publication ‘The safe isolation of plant and equipment’ and is classed as “Category II Proved Isolation” using the “Double block and bleed (DBB) method”. All valve and internal chambers shafts can be ‘locked’ providing a physical and visible means of control, and is in compliance with many of the operators ‘isolation philosophy's’.
Each product has been fully FEA (Finite Element Analysis) tested at design stage ensuring maximum safety to the user and the system. The EPS meter2di has undergone a series of rigorous cycling tests ensuring the repeatability of the seals and equipment. Upon product assembly, each product is fully pressure tested to satisfy industry safety, European pressure guidelines and product expectations.

Benefits
• Double isolation with visible proofing mechanism – HP and LP pressure gauges.
• All valve and internal chamber seals can be locked into position.
• Safe change out of plates.
• Increased turn down capability.
• Reduced operating costs – Uninterrupted gas flow whilst plates are safely inspected.
• As there are no calibration requirements on orifice plates, the solution is an economic option against ultrasonic and cone meters.
• Flexibility ‐ Maintenance can be performed at any time and not scheduled into the installations annual shut down period.
• High pressure solution for 2500# ANSI meters. Duplex manifold rated to 10,000PSI.
• Patent Pending.

Body Configurations
Flange x Flange, Flange x Weld or Weld x Weld
FF (Flat Face), RF (Raised Face), RTJ (Ring Type Joint)
Flanges available in the following formats:
• ANSI 16.5, 16.47
• Techlok & SPO
• Graylok
• API 6A
Maximising the meter2di
To ensure absolute metering accuracy, it is recommended that meter tubes are purchased and manufactured to complement the orifice fitting. This ensures concentricity between the pipe and the fitting, and eliminates uncertainties associated with misalignment.
LEADING can supply the following items for a complete metering solution:
• Orifice fitting with Meter Tube including straightening vane/profiler
• DP transmitters and Process Transmitters
• Flow Computer and Enclosure
