| Self-cleaning wastewater flow meter from McCrometer Ultra Mag Wastewater Flow Meter from McCrometer provides high measurement accuracy in effluent applications. It operates in treated water or even sludge or slurries, requires minimal maintenance and offers a long-life of trouble-free service at a low life-cycle cost. With non-invasive, no-moving parts flow sensing technology, the Ultra Mag inline flow meter delivers high flow measurement accuracy of ±0.5% in water effluent with repeatability of ±0.05%. The Ultra Mag measures liquid flow in 2 to 36" lines from 0.2 to 49 fps at pressures of up to 300 psi, depending on the selected flange configuration. It operates in high temperatures up to 170°F. Manufactured with 316 Stainless Steel, the Ultra Mag's electrodes feature a bullet-shaped design that is self-cleaning for long service and virtually no maintenance. The advanced Ultra Mag's UltraLiner technology gives users a high accurate, reliable and durable instrument. Municipal process and industrial plant engineers who have in the past had to trade-off accuracy in harsh environments against low maintenance and long-life, will find the Ultra Mag to be the suitable solution-especially in wastewater effluent, as well as in sludge and slurries. Debris and solids will not clog the line or cause excessive wear to the Ultra Mag, thanks to non-intrusive sensing element that nearly eliminates maintenance requirements. To sense flow, the Ultra Mag relies on two compact, high-density magnetic coils placed within the pipe outer wall to generate an electromagnetic field inside the pipe. As conductive liquid flows through the pipe, a voltage is created, which is measured by electrodes inserted through the flowmeter liner into the flow stream. The voltage is then converted to a flow rate reading by the Ultra Mag's signal converter, which includes a digital read-out. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
