3 .1 SUMMIT 8800 Hardware
3 .1 .1 SUMMIT 8800 Flow Computer
The SUMMIT 8800 is an advanced hydrocarbon computing precision instrument for measuring
and calculating flow of gases and liquids, using various connected metering devices, including
transmitters, transducers with internal algorithms to International standards.
The SUMMIT 8800 is configured using the supplied configurator running on a PC or laptop.
Initially there are a number of basic decisions that need to be made in order to configure the de-
vice. The configurator will guide the operator through the various choices that need to be made.
Primary important objectives are defined by types:
Device type Standard run and/or liquid prover or gas prover
Measurement type Gas turbine, rotary or other pulse meter type
Gas ultrasonic Meter
Gas differential pressure orifice or Venturi type
Gas Coriolis
Liquid turbine or other pulse meter type

3 .1 .2 SUMMIT 8800 basic functions
The SUMMIT 8800 flow computer comprises a standard size half width 19 inch rack which con-
tains plug-in printed circuit boards connected to a mother board. The power supply is +24 VDC.
It is designed to calculate the total energy, volume and instantaneous flow rates of gas and al-
ternatively liquids. Calculation is carried out using inputs from pulse generating turbine meters,
