Hastelloy X: Pressure transducer applications in the offshore oil industry

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 5:57 PM

The wide world of the oil industry uses many types of pressure sensor for monitoring and measuring processes, controls and instruments are drilled for borehole. With the need for more oil in inaccessible places, you will be the device in exploration, drilling and using more complex and increases the use of pressure sensor products.

Some hastelloy X applications for pressure
transducer sensors are:

Chefs
Wellhead assemblies and Christmas tree use

hastelloy X

a range of pressures Sensor sensors to monitor wellhead pressure. Due to the hazardous area the pressure transducer must be intrinsically safe or explosion-proof hastelloy X design. A pressure sensor in this application is hastelloy X used, it must also be durable and waterproof. Omni-Series 23IS types 23EXD and pressure to meet both requirements.

Downhole Tools
Various types of pressure sensors in underground utilities for monitoring the hydraulic pressure and the pressure of the pipeline used. Often, hastelloy X a large Transducer is required, with the operating hastelloy X temperature range due to environmental premium. The Omni series 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.-Series models offer pressure sensor distances of up to 1000 bar at temperatures up to 150 degrees C.

Submarine Hydraulic Manifolds
Submarine Hydraulic packages are used to control various applications from offshore oil production. Submarine Hydraulic packages available up to 10 units of pressure transducer. The pressure should be reduced Its design and able to work hastelloy X with cases of high pressure from the outside. In this case, the pressure sensor can be revoked or suspended external enclosure with the circuit board naked for the environment to hastelloy X reduce the profile, with oil filling is used to stop the ingress of water ocean

Smart Pigs
Underwater pipelines are regularly tested with a smart pig. The pork can be equipped to monitor the pressure hastelloy X lines and hydraulic pressure with different types of pressure sensors. In addition, a differential Transducer can be used to gauge the difference in pressure between the front and back of the pig. Because these devices are usually powered by battery, it is important to choose a pressure sensor with low power consumption. The Omni-Series transmitter 10 is only about 1 mA and is ideal for these applications.

The hastelloy X core analysis
In the analysis of a sample base oil under high pressure can be forced through a rock section of the center. A pressure sensor in this application must to accurately measure up to 10,000 pounds per square inch, and hastelloy X or monel to avoid corrosion of the membrane. The Omni series 23 and 25 pressure transducer meets this requirement.

The flushing system
It is often a prerequisite for using a pressure sensor in the pipe hastelloy X Mud Flow. In these applications, a pressure sensor is needed with an aperture of color. In fact, with a standard pressure transducer, the pressure port with only 3 hastelloy X mm in diameter and is vulnerable to Obstruction by sludge particles. The Omni series 25 pressure hastelloy X transducer with hastelloy X G1 / 2 "G3 / 4" hastelloy X Color and the diaphragm can be offered, or send EXD is the format for use in hazardous areas.
