  • Measuring liquid in half filled pipes
    A wastewater treatment plant needed to measure the volume of liquid in partially filled pipes. Inaccurate flow measurements in a particularly troublesome section of piping forced the plant to run on manual mode. The installation of electromagnetic flowmeters provided accurate, continuous measuring over the entire pipe cross-section and enabled the switch to automatic mode.
  • On demand district heating cuts costs
    Refurbishing an ageing district heating system in Constanta, Romania using new hot-water recirculation pumps, associated variable speed drives and other controls in a demand-based arrangement, has resulted in an improved supply quality, plus an optimized, energy-efficient operation – all with greater reliability.
  • Stormwater tank design – the Grundfos way
    Increasingly, cities and low-lying areas are at risk of sewer overflow from extreme rainfall. Stormwater tanks can help reduce the impact of extreme climatic events by holding back excess stormwater and contaminants. This protects the environment and makes possible the intelligent management of stormwater flows, resulting in savings on infrastructure investments. Now Grundfos has developed a handbook informing engineers about tank design and optimisation.

McCrometer introduces the successor to the Multi-Mag insertion flow meter

16 July 2010

The FPI Mag (Full Profile Insertion) electromagnetic flow meter features additional sensing electrodes for increased sensitivity and is packaged in stainless steel for maximum structural integrity.

The sensor of the FPI Mag meter from McCrometer is coated with a NSF certified 3M fusion-bonded epoxy coating for operational longevity. Hot tap installation addresses the need for uninterrupted service, while improving process control and ensuring delivery accountability.

The FPI Mag meter’s compact insertion design fits in confined spaces with limited access and offers total accessibility. The flow meter can be removed in pipes under pressure for easy inspection, cleaning, calibrating or verification with McCrometer’s own NIST traceable Calibration Lab. It is particularly cost-effective for retrofit applications replacing flow meters or in sites never metered before.

The FPI Mag flow meter’s multi-electrode sensor design compensates for variable flow profiles, including swirl, turbulence and low-flow conditions. Multiple electrodes placed across the entire sensor body continuously measure and report the average flow rate over the full diameter of pipe. The FPI Mag is available for line sizes from 4 to 138 inches and rivals the performance of a full bore electromagnetic flow meter. With highly stable measurement, the FPI Mag features accuracy of ±1% of reading ± 0.03 ft/sec zero stability from 0.3 to 20 ft/s velocity range. The flow sensor comes pre-calibrated from McCrometer’s NIST traceable Calibration Lab and requires no recalibration in the field.

Municipal water applications for the FPI Mag include wells, booster stations, effluent, filter balancing and backwash, pumping stations, UV dosing and potable water distribution.
