 Introduction
Tek-Trol’s Tek-Bar 3800XP Multivariable Transmitter / Custody Transfer Flow Computer is designed to provide
the highest flexibility. It features a complete suite of measurement calculations and control functions that
enable customers to take control of their flow metering requirements. The Tek-Bar 3800XP Multivariable
Transmitter is configured for both gas and liquid applications and designed for harsh environments
seen in major oil and gas field applications. The device meets both Class 1, Div 1 and Div 2 hazardous
safety requirements and meets CSA/ATEX/IECEX. The Tek-Bar 3800XP Multivariable Transmitter (MVT) is
designed to provide reliable and accurate Differential Pressure, Static Pressure, and in-Line Temperature
Measurements plus flow calculations compatible with the API MPMS 21.1 electronic flow metering standard.
