Integra-Cone™

High Pressure Nitrogen Flow Meter

Integra-Cone™ - High Pressure N2 Gas Meter

Customers approached GM Flow with a requirement to measure high pressure nitrogen flow during coiled tubing operations. Traditional methods such as stroke counters on the pump drive shaft or gas turbine flow meters from other nitrogen flow meter suppliers, can be problematic and can easily be damaged by the extremely high flowing velocity encountered at the start of pumping operations.

GM Flow recognised these issues and based on customers’ requests, produced Integra-Cone™ nitrogen gas flow meter. This device offers a rugged and accurate differential pressure product for nitrogen gas. Integra-Cone™ has a DNV verified and certified working pressure of 5,000 PSI or 10,000 PSI required for these applications. Being a differential pressure product Integra-Cone™ has no moving parts, reduced leak paths and offers an instantaneous readout of nitrogen gas flow rate and flowing pressure, which gives the pump operators direct control of the flow rate and flowing pressure.

Teaming up with Eztek, using their Ex rated Tallybook https://www.eztekglobal.com/products/tally-book we can offer an enhanced logging, live display and a complete (one second) record of all parameters during pumping services for you and your clients.

Integra-Cone™ is used for measuring high pressure nitrogen flow rate and pumping pressure, during gas lift, scale milling, coiled tubing, foam cementing and pipeline pigging/dewatering operations.

We now have six field tested versions:

All provide live pumping pressure and flow rate, in the customer choice of standard Ft³, m³, (or any other units). This allows an equipment operator to pump at exactly the rate and pressure required. The battery powered display also provides an RS485 communications port, for fast retrieval after the job.

Safety

Safe, accurate and rugged measurement of nitrogen flow rates all from one compact device.

Safety is GM Flow’s number one priority – Like Adjusta-Cone® we designed Integra-Cone from the ground up, by minimising leak paths, completely removing leak prone NPT threads and using an all machined, Thread x Thread construction mean that Integra-Cone™ is capable of working safely in the most extreme oilfield environments without risk to the operators.
