Product Overview
In the high-stakes world of oil and gas transportation and custody transfer,the accurate measurement of fluid flow is not merely an operational metric—it is the foundation of financial transactions,regulatory compliance,and asset optimization.A miscalculation of a few percentage points in flow rate can translate to millions of dollars in revenue loss or disputes over a short period.The EMERSON FLOBOSS S600stands as a technological sentinel in this domain,engineered to deliver uncompromising accuracy,reliability,and data integrity for the most demanding flow measurement applications.It is more than a calculator;it is a comprehensive flow management platform.
The FLOBOSS S600consolidates the functions of a high-precision flow computer,a robust data logger,and a secure communication gateway into a single,hardened unit.Its core purpose is to acquire data from primary flow elements(like orifice plates,turbines,or ultrasonic meters)and pressure/temperature transmitters,apply complex AGA,API,or ISO standard calculationsin real-time,and generate auditable records for custody transfer tickets,allocation,and process control.Consider a natural gas pipeline custody transfer station at a national border.Here,the S600continuously receives data from multiple meter runs,calculating corrected standard volume and energy content using the AGA-8detailed composition method or AGA-7standard.It logs every flow rate,pressure,and temperature snapshot,creating an irrefutable audit trail.Simultaneously,it communicates this data via Modbus,DNP3,or OPCto the pipeline SCADA system and can generate detailed reports compliant with API Chapter 21.1.Its built-in redundancy options and failsafe design ensure that measurement continues uninterrupted,safeguarding both the seller’s and buyer’s financial interests.For the measurement engineer,the FLOBOSS S600provides the confidence that comes from a device built to the highest standards of measurement integrity,capable of operating autonomously in remote,unattended locations for years,withstanding harsh environments while delivering provably accurate data.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
The EMERSON FLOBOSS S600distinguishes itself through its architectural integrity,computational precision,and unwavering focus on the specific demands of fiscal and custody transfer metering.
Innovation Point 1:Certified Computational Engine and Standards Compliance
The core of the S600is its validated flow calculation firmware.It doesn’t just perform math;it implements industry-standard algorithms with certified precision.For natural gas,it offers both the AGA-8 Detail Composition Methodand the AGA-8 Gross Method 1&2,allowing users to select the appropriate model based on gas analysis availability and contractual requirements.For liquids,it supports API MPMS Chapter 11.1and ISO 5167for orifice meter calculations.These implementations are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the exacting requirements of custody transfer contracts,which often mandate specific calculation standards.This eliminates calculation ambiguity and provides a defensible measurement basis.
Innovation Point 2:High-Integrity Data Acquisition and Audit Trail
Beyond calculation,data integrity is paramount.The S600features high-resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters(ADCs)and sophisticated signal conditioning to accurately digitize inputs from pressure,temperature,and differential pressure transmitters.It maintains a detailed,time-stamped audit trailthat records all configuration changes,alarm events,and calculated flow data.This log is stored in non-volatile memory and is essential for resolving measurement disputes and for regulatory compliance.The system can detect and flag abnormal conditions like signal loss,frozen variables,or out-of-range values,ensuring that only valid data is used in calculations.
Innovation Point 3:Flexible RTU Capabilities and Robust Communications
The S600transcends being a simple flow computer by incorporating full Remote Terminal Unit(RTU)functionality.It can handle digital I/Ofor valve control,alarm annunciation,and safety interlocks.Its support for multiple,simultaneous communication protocols(Modbus,DNP3,OPC)allows it to interface seamlessly with a wide array of devices(e.g.,gas chromatographs,control valves,PLCs)and upstream systems(SCADA,Historians).This turns a measurement point into an intelligent field node capable of local control and data concentration,reducing the need for additional hardware.
Innovation Point 4:Unmatched Environmental Ruggedness and Availability
Designed for the most challenging environments—from Arctic tundras to desert pipeline stations—the S600is housed in a robust,NEMA 4X/IP66enclosure.It operates across an extreme temperature range(-40°C to+70°C)and is available with hazardous area certifications(ATEX,IECEx)for installation in Zone 2 areas.For mission-critical applications,it supports hot-standby redundant controller configurations.If the primary unit fails,the secondary automatically takes over with zero data loss,ensuring continuous,uninterrupted measurement—a critical feature for custody transfer where every minute of downtime has a direct financial impact.
Application Cases and Industry Value
Case Study:Transcontinental Natural Gas Pipeline Custody Transfer
A major interstate natural gas pipeline company operates a custody transfer station where gas from multiple gathering systems is commingled,measured,and injected into the main transmission line.The financial settlement between the pipeline company and the dozen gas producers relies entirely on the accuracy of measurement at this station.The legacy flow computer system was aging,difficult to maintain,and lacked support for the latest AGA-8 detailed composition method,which was becoming a contractual requirement.
The company replaced the system with a redundant pair of EMERSON FLOBOSS S600flow computers.Each S600was connected to three ultrasonic meter runs and a gas chromatograph.The chromatograph provided real-time composition data,which the S600used to execute the AGA-8 Detailed Composition Methodcalculations,providing a more accurate energy content(BTU)value than the older method-based approach.The S600’s built-in data logging created an immutable record of every 5-minute flow volume,pressure,temperature,and composition,which was used to generate daily and monthly statements.The system’s Modbus TCPoutput fed directly into the pipeline’s SCADA and accounting system.
During a severe winter storm that caused power fluctuations,the primary S600seamlessly failed over to the hot-standby unit without dropping a single data scan.The robust construction of the units prevented any damage from the extreme cold.In the first year of operation,the improved measurement accuracy from the new system reduced the”unaccounted-for”gas(UAF)variance by 0.15%,which translated to over$1.2 millionin recovered revenue across the station.The clarity and defensibility of the audit trail also resolved a historical measurement dispute with a producer within weeks,avoiding costly arbitration.

Installation,Maintenance,and Full-Cycle Support
Installation begins with mounting the FLOBOSS S600in a suitable location,typically in a weatherproof enclosure near the meter runs.Wiring from the transmitters(4-20mA,RTD,pulse)and communication lines(Ethernet,serial)is connected to the unit’s terminal blocks following the detailed wiring diagrams.Proper grounding and surge protection are critical,especially in remote locations prone to lightning.Configuration is performed using Emerson’s FlowView PC software,which provides a user-friendly interface to set up meter runs,select flow equations,define alarms,and configure communications.The initial setup includes entering meter tube dimensions,transmitter ranges,and fluid properties.
Routine maintenance is minimal but essential.It includes verifying transmitter calibrations against a portable standard,checking the S600’s internal diagnostic logs for any alarms or communication errors,and ensuring the integrity of the audit trail data.The unit’s firmware and configuration should be backed up regularly.For units in redundant configuration,annual failover testing is recommended.The S600’s modular design and accessible components facilitate any needed repairs.
