Storage Loading & Offloading / Custody Transfer
From a ship or pipeline to a tank, from a tank to a pipeline or to another storage area, certified custody transfer measurement requires the most accurate and repeatable flow meters available.
Custody metering is a critical issue in hydrocarbon transfer and requires certified flowmeters. Faure Herman meters are recognized globally as meeting the requirements of the international pipeline community.
Faure Herman’s ability to calibrate on multiple products that match your oil viscosity creates better linearity performance over the entire viscosity and flow range of your meter providing confidence in the measured flows.

Long term mastered technology.
Low Pressure Drop
Thanks to low pressure requirements our various metering solutions can help you improve your operational costs in terms of energy savings.
Qualified against the most severe environmental conditions
Versatility of features allow adaptation to your processes :
-
External environment
(explosive, corrosive, harsh atmosphere)
-
Measured fluid
(corrosive, abrasive, hazardous and polluting fluid)
Light Weight
Faure Herman meets the highest requirements in terms of weight reduction.
Accuracy and repeatability
Typical accuracy is 0.15% with repeatability of < 0.04%.
Premium Master Meter accuracy is +/-0.1% with repeatability< 0.02%.
Performing factory calibration on hydrocarbons of same viscosity as your fluid characteristics ensures your meter performs in the field the same as it did in the calibration lab. This ensures accurate measurement of your revenues.
Custom calibrate / Tailor made calibration
Faure Herman provides a unique calibration service to its customers, by using the same fluid characteristics as the customer’s own fluid.
For helical turbines, Faure Herman brings an extra service by fine tuning of the rotor shape, in order to get unmatched accuracy and repeatability. These « retouche » are hand made in between two calibration runs, by specialized operators, internally trained to reproduce Faure Herman 100 year know-how.
This is what makes the difference between a good meter and a master meter.
Large Flow Rates
Flow rate capability from 0.8 to 4500 m3/h, this over a wide range of viscosity from 0.7 to 500 cSt .
Compact
Faure Herman meters can be integrated in a cold plate.
Coolant Fluid Leaks
Faure Herman designs leak detection meters for cooling systems.
Downsizing
You originally needed a maximum flow rate of 1,260 b.hr, but now, several years later, oil output has dropped below 50% of original flow…
You can go from our original 4’’ Heliflu TZN STD 100-200 to the downsized DS 100-110 model, in order to achieve a maximum flow rate of 690 bph, without changing your meter run.
This can be integrated into an existing meter skid, extending duty life without having to change existing piping.
Large Flow Rates
Air-to-Air Refueling : up to 200 000 l/h and beyond according to your needs.
Low Pressure Drop
The helical rotor concept generates less resistance to fluid’s flowing, thus reducing the associated pressure drops.
Qualified againt most severe environmental conditions
Faure Herman meters meet the DO-160 standard requirements, related to conditions such as temperature, vibration, burst pressure.
Accomodates different types of fuel
Our device can accomodate variable types of fuels that comprise bio fuels thanks to years of selecting impeller profiles and materials.

Accuracy for military
Performing factory calibration on hydrocarbons of same viscosity as your fluid characteristics ensures optimum performance in the field.
Low cost of ownership
Associated with interchangeability and very easy to install & maintain.
Calibration with real fluid
Faure Herman calibrates 100% of your equipments with real fuels.
Flexibility
Faure Herman meters are available in several flow ranges within a single line size, offering you the possibility of upsizing or downsizing based upon the lifecycle of your production.
This may be achieved by just changing the cartridge or the meter body, not the entire meter run. This provides significant cost savings on the metering unit.
Sturdiness
Our rotors are one piece elements, carved directly from a bloc of the appropriate metal for your application. The helical rotor, rounded front edge and light weight materials improve stability and linearity even in high viscosity fluids – while reducing bearing wear.
Combined with tungsten carbide bearings, we design our turbines for high performance, over a very long period of time, with minimum need for repair or maintenance.
Replaceable cartridge
Our TZN range of removable cartridges allow you to carry on production using a spare cartridge for replacement while the original one is sent back for repair or recalibration.
This helps you reduce downtime and save money, while providing full autonomy for your operations.
If your process conditions change, this innovative design also allows you to adapt to the new fluid and flow range, by simply changing the cartridge, without changing your existing footprint / infrastructure.
