### Quick Answer For crude oil flow measurement at 50 m³/h, a Coriolis mass flow meter or an oval gear flow meter with a viscosity rating above 100 cP is recommended. Silver Instruments supplies both options with 4-20 mA HART output, ATEX Zone 1 certification, and DN15 to DN80 pipe connections. Send us your operating pressure (bar), temperature (°C), and specific gravity to confirm the correct model. --- ## Crude Oil Flow Meter 50 m³/h – Selection Guide for Industrial Users Crude oil at 50 m³/h is a common flow rate in mid-size transfer stations, truck loading, and small pipeline operations. But the right meter depends on oil viscosity, pressure, and temperature. We have seen many installations across Southeast Asia and the Middle East where incorrect meter selection led to frequent calibration drift or clogging. Most engineers skip this part: crude oil viscosity varies widely. Heavy crude can be 1000 cP. Light crude can be 10 cP. A meter that works on light crude will underperform on heavy crude. So the first step is to confirm the viscosity at operating temperature. ### Recommended Meter Types for 50 m³/h Crude Oil Flow **Coriolis Mass Flow Meter** This is the most reliable choice for direct mass flow measurement. Silver Instruments Coriolis meters handle 0 to 5000 cP viscosity. At 50 m³/h, a DN40 or DN50 meter with 4-20 mA HART output works well. Accuracy is ±0.1% for mass flow. Temperature range is -200°C to +350°C. Pressure rating up to 100 bar. ATEX Zone 1 certified for hazardous areas. **Oval Gear Flow Meter** For viscous crude oil (above 200 cP), oval gear meters are cost-effective. They measure volume directly. At 50 m³/h, a DN50 elliptical gear meter with mechan crude oil flow meter 50 m3/h

ical register or pulse output is common. Viscosity limit is 10,000 cP. Temperature range -30°C to +150°C. Pressure up to 40 bar. **Ultrasonic Flow Meter** Clamp-on ultrasonic meters are non-intrusive. They work on pipe sizes DN80 to DN300. But for 50 m³/h on a DN50 pipe, accuracy drops. We recommend ultrasonic only if pipe is DN100 or larger. For crude oil with gas bubbles, accuracy suffers. **Vortex Flow Meter** Vortex meters need clean fluid. Crude oil with sand or paraffin causes error. At 50 m³/h, a DN50 vortex meter works only on light crude. We rarely recommend this for crude oil. ### Key Selection Parameters | Parameter | Typical Value for Crude Oil 50 m³/h | |-----------|--------------------------------------| | Pipe size | DN40 to DN80 | | Viscosity | 10–1000 cP | | Pressure | 5–50 bar | | Temperature | 20–80°C | | Output | 4-20 mA HART or pulse | | Hazard area | Zone 1 or Zone 2 | | Accuracy requirement | ±0.2% to ±0.5% | ### Customer Example from Actual Installations Last year a customer in Vietnam asked us for a crude oil flow meter for a barge transfer station. Flow rate was 45 m³/h, viscosity 800 cP, temperature 40°C. They tried a turbine meter first. It failed within two weeks. We replaced with a Silver Instruments Coriolis meter DN50, ATEX Zone 1, with MVS remote display. It has been running 16 hours a day for 10 months with zero drift. Another case: a paint manufacturer in Indonesia needed crude oil meter for blending. Flow rate 50 m³/h, viscosity 50 cP. They used our oval gear meter with pulse output. Accuracy was within ±0.3% over six months. ### Common Mistakes When Selecting 1. **Ignoring viscosity effect** – Most meters specify a viscosity range. Exceeding it causes mechanical wear or e
