eTube™
The eTube is an innovative and robust differential pressure-type flowmeter used for the measurement of fluids by way of an elliptical-shaped flow restriction, which works in conjunction with Zedi’s field equipment to deliver flow calculations to Zedi Access™. With its smooth shaped throat, the eTube is designed to efficiently produce stable differential pressure across a wide range of flows, while its innovative design allows particulates like sand and other solids to easily pass through the restriction without excessive wear and damage. In most cases, the eTube will only need to be replaced once, if at all, throughout the lifetime of a well.
Key Benefits
- Eliminate the hassle of regularly changing orifice meters with a robust alternative that may never need to be replaced.
- Maintain accuracy in the harshest unconventional environments with eTube’s durable design.
- Meet tight lease and environmental requirements with the lower flow conditioning requirements of the eTube, particularly when used in conjunction with our Smart Skid™.
- Reduce the need to switch up your primary element to meet changing conditions with the eTube’s ability to handle a wide range of flow rates.
- Eliminate measurement errors caused by build-up, freezing, or liquid pooling with a streamlined shape without stagnation areas.
