ABB ACF50 Coriolis Mass Flowmeter

The ABB ACF50 Coriolis Mass Flowmeter delivers direct mass flow, density, temperature, and volumetric flow measurement simultaneously — making it the preferred custody transfer and process optimization instrument for Saudi Arabia's hydrocarbon export terminals and chemical loading facilities. Certified to OIML R117 and API 5.6 measurement standards required for Customs Authority and Saudi Aramco crude oil export accounting, the ACF50 provides ±0.1% mass flow accuracy and ±0.5 kg/m³ density accuracy without the need for external pressure, temperature, or density correction. Saudi Aramco's crude oil terminals at Ras Tanura and Ju'aymah use Coriolis meters for LPG and light product custody transfer where measurement uncertainty directly impacts billions of dollars in annual export revenue.

The ACF50's dual-curved tube design with high Q-factor oscillation maintains stable measurement even with two-phase flow (gas entrainment) that occurs during Saudi Aramco pump start-up events and pipeline pigging operations. The transmitter's real-time multi-variable output provides SABIC's polypropylene and polyethylene packaging plants with simultaneous mass flow for production accounting and density for product quality control — replacing two separate instruments and reducing instrument loop count. Drain-clean construction with no dead volumes makes the ACF50 suitable for CIP cleaning in SABIC food-grade polymer applications.

The ACF50's MVD (Multi-Variable Digital) transmitter technology processes 110 data points per second, enabling Saudi Aramco to detect and compensate for density variations between batches in product blending operations at Ras Tanura refinery. The transmitter communicates via HART 7, Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS DP, and Modbus, connecting to Saudi Aramco's terminal automation systems and SABIC's ERP integration for production reporting to SAFCO and Ma'aden joint venture accounting systems.

Razz Middle East provides ACF50 meters with Saudi Custody Transfer Authority approved calibration certificates and Saudi Aramco Material System numbers. Our metrologist engineers support PIMS (Pipeline Integrity Management System) integration projects and can arrange witnessed factory acceptance testing at ABB's Swiss calibration facility for high-stakes custody transfer applications.
