The flow computer is an electronic system that collects data from meters and sensors and calculates corrected flow rate, volume, and often energy metrics.
Input data
It can receive flow, pressure, temperature, pulse signals, and gas composition data.
Volume correction
It converts the actual volume to reference conditions by taking into account pressure, temperature, and, where required, the compressibility factor.
Energy calculation
In systems where calorific value is available, energy consumption can also be calculated.
Logging
Data can be stored for history, billing, energy monitoring, and diagnostics.
