ROTO-BOSS™ Custom Meter Run

Roto-Boss Custom Meter Run 2

Advanced Meter Run Technology

Overview

The Roto-Boss™ is designed with the end-user in mind, addressing the common pain points of conventional meter runs. This multi-orifice advancement provides precision measurement, safe and easy operation, and a quick 10-second plate change-out procedure.

Facts and Features Roto-Boss Meter Run 4

Accurate, Safe, and Easy to Operate

  • Precision Flow’s patented design with up to five different orifice plate selections
  • Ideal for gas measurement

Quick Plate Changes

  • Switch plates in seconds without opening the orifice changer
  • Reduces risk of user error
  • Minimizes exposure to harmful gases or pressures

Remote Management Capabilities

  • Precision Flow’s Auto-Boss connects to SCADA systems
  • Enables automated, remote plate changes
  • Eliminates the need for field visits
 

ROTO-BOSS™ Advantages

  1. The rotating orifice mechanism enables users to switch plates within seconds, ensuring continuous flow and eliminating downtime.
  2. Plate exchanges and inspections can be easily performed using a single inspection plug
  3. The rotating orifice plate design eliminates exposure to harmful gases and pressures, making it unnecessary to wear a mask, even in sour gas operations.
  4. With the Auto-Boss™, which adds remote management capabilities to the Roto-Boss™ features, users can utilize actuators and positioners to connect to SCADA systems and perform automated plate changes.
  5. The simple design, consisting of only six main components, ensures that the Roto-Boss™ is easy to maintain and incredibly durable.
  6. Engineered for precision, it meets the AGA 2000 Report standard of accuracy.
  7. It bolts into existing meter run applications.
  8. The locking mechanism ensures orifice eccentricity.

How It Works:

 

The Roto-Boss™ Multi-Orifice Meter Run simplifies meter maintenance and operation. When line parameters change or a plate gets damaged, the design allows operators to quickly and safely rotate to a new orifice plate. This process, which previously required multiple steps, is now streamlined, making it easy even for inexperienced technicians to maintain the meter run.
 
  • Rotates five plates within an eccentric carrier during line operation.
  • Plates can be extracted through an inspection port that is offline from the process.
  • Ideal for dealing with isolation challenges and routine plate inspections.
  • Provides five different orifice plate selections for measuring gas.
  • Allows operators to rotate the plate to a new orifice safely in seconds.
  • Simplified design eliminates most steps previously required for meter run plate changes.
  • Enables even inexperienced service technicians to quickly and easily maintain the meter run

Remote Plate Actuation Optimization: Roto-Boss™ with Auto-Boss™

The Auto-Boss™ adds remote management, allowing end users to change plates via SCADA, PLC, DCS systems, or wirelessly.

  • Automated Multi-Orifice Plate Meter Run: Seamless integration with existing systems.
  • Remote Plate Changing: Change plates without attending the equipment location.
  • Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM): Triggers plate changes based on CBM parameters like worn edges or flow changes.
  • No Gas Flow Interruption: Plates can be changed without stopping gas flow.
  • Multiple Orifice Plate Selections: 3-5 selectable orifice plates changeable from any location.
  • Quick and Safe Operation: Plate changes in less than 30 seconds, initialized via software.
  • Enhanced Safety: No exposure to harmful gases or pressures during changes.
  • Cost Savings: Reduced downtime and maintenance costs.
