Smart solutions for strong vibration applications

VEGA’s MiniTrac 32 is a very robust density measuring instrument designed for applications with intense vibrations. For this purpose, the instrument is specially equipped with double-protected electronics and reinforced scintillators. But it’s not just the meter’s anti-vibration performance that the company values – the MiniTrac 32 also comes with Bluetooth, making it easy to debug wirelessly and display measurements. This means that even if the meter itself is not close during the fracturing fluid injection process, the user can view the measurement results at any time.

ZMI-4104 Due to the limited time to install and debug the meter, advance planning and testing play a key role in ensuring a successful installation. Prior to installing the MiniTrac 32 on the frac fluid delivery system, VEGA’s measurement experts accompanied the user through the test installation and commissioning of the meter.

To verify the measurement results, VEGA engineers opened a laptop in the instrument car and remotely recorded the measurement data curve using PACTware software via the MiniTrac 32’s built-in Bluetooth function.

Tests have shown that the density of the carrier fluid measured by MiniTrac 32 meets expectations

In the figure above, you can see that the blue curve (the amount of sand added to the carrier fluid) and the green curve (the amount of sand added to the carrier fluid measured by the VEGA instrument) correspond to each other, indicating that the density of the carrier fluid measured by the MiniTrac 32 meets the expectations. After careful planning and successful testing, the VEGA team completed the installation, wiring and mechanical reinforcement of the instrument on the system within the scheduled 30 minutes.

The guarantee of long-term success

ZMI-4104 Today, the oilfield services company still uses the MiniTrac 32 measurement system and has purchased additional VEGA instruments for field operations. By choosing VEGA, the company not only gained a reliable instrumentation supplier, but also a partner to help them achieve long-term success in process measurement.

The MiniTrac 32 meets the company’s requirements for measuring instruments with its anti-vibration performance and Bluetooth capability. VEGA’s excellent service network is also the key to the company’s repeated choice: from field service engineers, to 24-hour helpline, to the myVEGA online platform, VEGA does everything possible to provide users with a solid guarantee of efficient operations.
