Chemistry | Bitumen | A smarter way to measure bitumen: precise flow measurement with L-Cor Coriolis Flowmeters
Anton Paar’s high-performance L-Cor Coriolis flowmeters provide a robust, highly accurate, and process proven solution for measuring bitumen in demanding industrial environments. Their ability to directly measure mass flow, density, and temperature makes them ideal for custody transfer, process control, and blending applications involving heavy hydrocarbons.
Bitumen is a viscous, tar-like material widely used in construction and sealing applications, particularly in infrastructure projects where its strong binding and weather-resistant properties are essential. In addition to its functional role, precise flow measurement is critical in custody transfer and billing processes to ensure transparency, accuracy, and compliance with regulatory standards. Due to its challenging physical properties – such as high viscosity, stickiness, and tendency to change state with temperature – accurate flow measurement of bitumen presents particular challenges. Coriolis mass flowmeters have emerged as a the most reliable solution for this demanding measurement task, offering precise mass flow, density, and temperature readings, regardless of fluid properties. This report highlights the need for bitumen flow measurement, the requirements for measuring devices, and the advantages of the Anton Paar L-Cor flowmeter series.
