Baker Hughes Panametrics XGF868I-11-OIH-34-0-CC-PREPRO-RPT DigitalFlow Ultrasonic Flare Gas Flow Transmitter

Product Description

The XGF868I-11-OIH-34-0-CC-PREPRO-RPT is a Baker Hughes Panametrics DigitalFlow XGF868i ultrasonic flare gas flow meter transmitter. It is designed for flare gas mass flow measurement in oil & gas, refinery and petrochemical plants. This full ordering code defines channel configuration, transducer type, communication options, pre-programmed calibration and report output function. It uses transit-time ultrasonic technology to calculate velocity, volumetric flow and mass flow, automatically compensating for changes in gas composition, temperature and pressure.

Features

• Brand: Baker Hughes (Panametrics), Model: XGF868i

• Legacy Panametrics XGF868i system spare replacement and re-calibration

FAQ

Q: What does PREPRO and RPT mean in this part number?
A: PREPRO means factory pre-programmed calibration; RPT enables automatic flow report / totalizer output function.

Q: What is the difference between XGF868i and other Panametrics flow meters?
A: XGF868i is dedicated flare gas meter; PanaFlow series is for liquid or general gas ultrasonic measurement.

Q: Is this meter still in production?
A: XGF868i is a mature legacy product; new orders are limited, mostly supplied as surplus, refurbished and calibrated spare units.

Q: Does it need pressure and temperature inputs?
A: Yes, it uses PT inputs to compensate mass flow; it can accept external 4–20mA PT transmitters.
