Abstract
A system that provides a remote ordering system for a Coriolis flowmeter. The system is provided by a server. The server begins by receiving input flow stream parameters from a remote client computer. The server then determines flowmeter parameters from the input flow stream parameters received from the remote client computer. The server then determines at least one model of flowmeter suitable for the flowmeter parameters. The suitable models of flowmeters are then transmitted to a remote computer where a customer may then place an order for one of the models suitable for the flowmeter parameters.
Claims25
A method for providing remote ordering and configuring of flowmeters, the method comprising the steps of:
- in a server,
- receiving input flow stream parameters over a network from a computer, wherein said server receives said input flow stream parameters from said computer that is remotely located from said server,
- determining flowmeter parameters from said input flow stream parameters,
- determining whether at least one flowmeter is suitable for said flowmeter parameters,
- transmitting information on said at least one flowmeter to said computer over said network for display to a user,
- receiving a selection of one of said at least one flowmeter displayed to said user from said computer over said network, and
- transmitting an order for said selected flowmeter to a department for shipping of said selected flowmeter to said user;
- and
- after said user receives said selected flowmeter, remotely configuring said selected flowmeter by connecting said selected flowmeter to said server through said computer.
