Features and Benefits

Full performance in multi-viscous conditions

The Sentinel LCT8 is viscosity independent, using proprietary algorithms to reduce the effects of viscosity. No prover run or change of settings is required when viscosity changes. The meter retains its accuracy over the whole range between minimum and maximum viscosity, using only one calibration curve.

Superior design and easier installation

The Sentinel LCT8 incorporates the compact industrial design of the Sentinel LCT4, including a cast flow cell with no exposed buffers or cables. This allows for seamless integration into a pipeline or process requiring a smaller installation footprint and shorter upstream and downstream straight run lengths. Transducers are enclosed in explosion-proof housings, requiring less buffer between them and the fluid, resulting in better accuracy.

Actionable, intelligent data

For leak detection applications, diagnostic flow data from Sentinel LCT8 can help operators decide what is significant. Changes in pipe and fluid data, coupled with pressure drop, may be indicative of potential problems. Over time, this flow data can yield diagnostic volumes and information about different sized leaks, which can help determine a threshold for triggering an alarm. The more accurate the data, the more reliable the model to determine what is a real leak and what is a false alarm.
