This section shows our offering in conventional positive displacement, multi-jet, and turbine meters for water service. These meters are optimized for water service and are less expensive than using a general purpose flowmeter for clean water applications. The AMCO cold water meters fall into two basic categories. The small AMCO C700 meter is a positive displacement design available in sizes from 1/2" through 2". They are intended for clean, cold o water applications with temperatures below 120 F and pressures under 150 psig. These units come standard with non-resettable registers available with low and high speed pulsers. An electronic register is also available, providing a rate and total display with optional pulse and/or analog outputs. The larger AMCO T-3000 cold water meter is an axial turbine design with the capability of handling minute foreign matter, i.e. typical well water. The T-3000 has a very low pressure drop and can be used in gravity drain applications. The register and pulser options are similar to the C700. Combination meters and special electromagnetic meters are also available for applications with extremely wide flow ranges. The Niagara MTX and WPX meters are hot and cold water meters capable of passing some small particulate matter. The MTX is a multi-jet design available in 1/2" through 2" sizes. The WPX is an axial turbine design available in sizes 2" through 10". These meters come standard with non-resettable registers, with options for low and high speed pulsers. These meters are suitable for condensate return service. Hays meters are intended for clean, cold and hot water applications o below 250 F and pressures under 150 psig. These units come standard with non-resettable registers with options for both reed switch and solid state pulse outputs. Hays meters are unique in their very wide range of pulse output options, which work well with metering pumps. The registers are flooded, which means that the fluid being measured can be seen in the register. Flow and Level Measurement 3 Neptune Technology Group (formerly Schlumberger Water Division) offers both P.D. and bulk turbine meters for cold water service. They are intended for clean, cold water applications with o temperatures below 120 F and pressures under 150 psig. These units come standard with non-resettable registers and are available with pulse and 4-20mA outputs. Master Meter offers multi-jet and turbine designs for both hot and cold water service. Multi-jets are available from 1/2" through 2" and turbines are available from 2" through 12" in size. These meters come standard with non-resettable totalizers and are available with a single reed switch (contact closure) output. The Hersey MVR cold water meter is a vertical turbine designed for residential, commercial, or industrial applications where higher flow rates are encountered and where sensitivity to low flow is also important. The MVR is ideal where flexibility is needed to meet wider flow ranges, where water temperatures are elevated (up to 130oF), or where sand particles or other small debris may be encountered. The MVR series is available in 3/4" through 6" sizes. The SeaMetrics WT series of turbine meters are available in PVC, carbon steel, and stainless steel bodies in 2" through 8" sizes. The standard model has a blind pulse output, however, blind 4-20 transmitters and integral LCD displays are also available. The high speed pulse output lends itself well to use with remote digital displays. Also available from SeaMetrics are cold and hot water multi-jet meters from 3/4" to 2" and insertion-style paddlewheels and turbines suitable for 2" through 24" lines. 4 Flow and Level Measurement Oil flowmeters should never be ordered by line size alone. For example, the AMCO 20 3/4" oil meter can handle up to 4.4 GPM, a Niagara 3/4"can handle up to 7 GPM, while the Actaris/Neptune 3/4" can handle up to 30 GPM. Our policy is to offer the AMCO oil meter for measuring fuel consumption, the Niagara in situations where the line is oversize, and Neptune or TCS meters for general purpose and bulk handling situations. If high accuracy is important, look to either the GPI or Tuthill gear meters which have 1/2% of reading accuracy. The AMCO oil meter series (Models AMCO4 through AMCO50) have low flow rates on a per line size basis, perfect for use on oil fired burners and the like. These meters require 80 mesh filtration for the AMCO4 and AMCO8, and 60 mesh filtration for the larger meters. These are best suited for clean, low flow, light to heavy oil (3/4" & 1") applications not o exceeding 266 F. They are available in sizes ranging from 1/8" through 2" and have flow ranges from 0.25 to 8000 GPH. The Niagara meter line from Venture is available in bronze, cast iron, and stainless steel bodies. For fuel oil service, we offer the bronze body only. The meter comes standard with male NPT ends which are one size larger. Couplings are available to bring the end connection down to the correct size. This is an advantage in providing low flow measurement in oversize lines. Available line sizes range from 3/4" through 2". There are over fifteen different register and pulser options available. GPI offers an oval gear meter with 1/2% of reading accuracy. It requires a clean fluid, thus we recommend a 60 mesh or finer filter ahead of the meter. Meter bodies are either aluminum, brass, or stainless steel. These meters come in 1/4" through 2" line sizes, with flow ranges from 0.02 GPM to 92 GPM. These meters come standard with pulse output only, which inherently lends itself well to remote digital displays and flow computers. GPI also offers mechanical and digital display options. Flow and Level Measurement 5 The Actaris/Neptune Type S and Type MP meters for oil service are our standard offering for bulk unloading and custody transfer service. In general, we offer these meters for any oil being pumped at a high rate or where a resettable or batching type meter is required. The Type S is only available in bronze, while the Type MP is available in bronze, cast iron, or stainless steel. Both non-resettable and resettable registers are available with various pulser options. The FPP series of Oval Gear meters from Tuthill have a 1/2% of rate measurement accuracy. These are available in anodized aluminum or 316SS bodies with Ryton or 316SS rotors. Sizes range from 1/4" thru 3" with flow rates from .02 to 200 GPM. These meters are available with blind pulse output, analog transmitters, mechanical registers, and battery powered LCD displays. The 700 Series rotary positive displacement flow meter from TCS employs a simple and efficient meter design consisting of three rotors that rotate in unison within the measuring chamber. The timed rotation between each rotor is then transferred through the calibration adjuster to the mechanical register. Available with anodized aluminum, cast iron, or stainless steel bodies in 1 1/2" through 4" sizes, these meters can handle a wide variety of fluids. Mechanical batch controller and various pulser options are also available. The Prowirl series from Endress+Hauser is a in-line style vortex shedding meter perfectly suited for steam service. Available from 1/2" through 12", in flanged and wafer-style versions, it provides reliable service in an environment most other meters fail. An integral pulse transmitter is standard with options for a local display and 4-20mA output. A new built-in temperature sensor allows the Prowirl to provide on-the-spot mass flow correction for saturated steam applications. 6 Flow and Level Measurement The term 'turbine' is used by different industries to denote different meter designs. If you are a municipality, 'turbine' would mean a large bulk meter like the AMCO T-3000 having a mechanical register. In the industrial sector, 'turbine' typically means a high speed rotor which has an electrical output pulse signal. These are the meters we will discuss here. These meters come in almost any end connection you would like. Turbines are available with NPT, ANSI flange (150#, 300#, 600#, etc.), wafer-style, tri-clover, and high pressure (up to 14,000 PSI) fittings. Turbines are viscosity sensitive, and are not recommended for fluids above 20cP. The high viscosity increases the drag on the rotor, effectively dropping the low-end performance. However, turbine meters are highly repeatable by nature and the performance can be corrected by electronics. For applications with fluids above 50cP, we recommend using a different meter design. Blancett turbines are designed for the oil patch, where ruggedness is a requirement. These meters feature extra heavy rotors and shafts. This gives the meter a high pressure drop and slow response times compared to light weight turbine meters and results in a 1% accuracy. Available sizes are 3/8" through 10" with various local displays and transmitters. Blancett turbine meters can cover a broad range of heavy-duty applications. Sponsler turbine meters offer 1/2% of rate accuracy for liquid flows and 1% of rate accuracy on gas flows. These meters are designed for the application and are available in 304 or 316 SS, CPVC, Kynar, Polypropylene, Teflon, or virtually any material that can be machined. Bearing choices are matched with the application and include carbide, graphite, Teflon, Fluorosint, metal ball, and ceramic ball. The standard turbine is available in sizes 1/4" through 12" lines. Sponsler offers a full line of local displays and transmitters. The new improved GPI turbine meter is now available with either integrally or remote mounted displays. Either choice offers two totalizers, rate of flow, and two calibrations with options for pulse and 4-20mA analog outputs. The turbine body is now available in aluminum, brass, 316SS, PVC, and PVDF. Sizes 1/2" thru 2" are offered along with FNPT or 150# flanged connections. Flow and Level Measurement 7 The most common flow rate indicator is the rotameter, generally recognized as a vertical tapered tube with a float which rises and falls is relation to the flow rate. The accuracy of a rotameter is primarily based on the scale length and to a lesser degree on the float and tube material. For example, a 10" scale on a glass tube with a metal float is typically +/2%, a 5" scale on a plastic tube with a Teflon float is typically +/- 6%, while a 5" scale on a glass tube with a metal float is typically +/- 3%. For rotameters, accuracy is expressed as a percentage of full scale, not actual rate. Rotameters are viscosity sensitive devices and thus have limits which range from about 7 cP on 1/2" meters to 50 cP on 2" meters. On higher viscosity flows, you should consider a different meter design. Most rotameters require installation on vertical lines with upward flow. For horizontal installations, consider either the RCM Flo-Gage or the Hedland unit. Blue-White has a long history of supplying chemical feed pumps and flowmeters to the swimming pool and light commercial business sectors. This rotameter design is distinguished by the use of knurled end fittings which allow for quick disassembly - useful for situations where algae growth is a problem. These meters are available in 1/4" through 2" sizes. The Hedland rate indicator was initially designed to measure high pressure hydraulic flow rates. Today, it is available for use with a variety of liquids and gases. The Hedland flowmeter's unique spring loaded variable-area design allows it to be installed in any position without affecting accuracy. Hedland flowmeters are available with brass, aluminum, and stainless steel fittings in 1/4" through 3" sizes. There are also options for flow switches and analog transmitters. King Instrument Company offers a full range of general purpose rotameters ranging from inexpensive panel-mount acrylic block types, polysulfone and glass tube types, to the very attractive 7700 series stainless steel tube indicator with an analog dial. King rotameters are generally available in 1/4" through 2" sizes with various end fitting materials. Some designs have optional inductive sensors or latching reed switches for use with remote alarms. 8 Flow and Level Measurement The RCM Flo-Gage has an easily readable 3.5" round dial with a square law scale. The square law scale provides superb readability at higher flow rates and should be sized so that the normal flow occurs in the upper 50% of the meter's range. The unit should not be used on flows with particulate matter -- clean fluids are a must. The Flo-Gage is available from 1/4" through 8" sizes, with bronze, 316SS, and Monel as material options. This meter has optional relay and 4-20mA outputs. SK Instruments were the first rotameters manufactured in the US in volume. The product line is broad and varied offering acrylic, glass tube, and metal tube units. SK rotatmeters are available in 1/8" through 1 1/2" sizes with both NPT and flange connections. Integral alarm and analog transmitters are available on some models. Sight flow indicators give you a view into your piping, allowing you to see the process fluid through a glass window. Special mechanisms such as flappers and rotators can be mounted in most sight flow indicators to enhance visibility. Sight flow indicators from Penberthy are available in a wide variety of materials and combinations, covering sizes as small as 1/4" to as large as 8". McCrometer and Water Specialties propeller meters have large bladed impellers that can tolerate large amounts of foreign matter in the fluid stream. These meters come standard with epoxy painted carbon steel bodies and an instantaneous mechanical flowrate indicator with six-digit straight reading totalizer. These meters are available for 2" through 24" pipe sizes in many different designs. Various output and electronic register options are available. Flow and Level Measurement 9 These devices, commonly known as magmeters, are used to measure the flow of conductive fluids. The 'open-pipe' design of the magmeter makes it a perfect match for waste water, slurries, or any other fluid with solids content. Another inherent benefit of the 'open-pipe' design is low pressure drop. The only wetted parts are the tube liner and the electrodes, both of which are available in many different materials. The accuracy of a magmeter is typically +/- 0.2 to 0.5%. Typical features of a magmeter include: Empty pipe alarms, forward/reverse flow, pulse/analog outputs, serial communications, remote displays, and SMART/HART protocols. ABB Automation now offers the full line of Fischer & Porter magmeters, including the popular wafer-style 10D1475 Mini-Mag. ABB's original magmeter, the MagMaster is also available. Both product lines offer multiple liner and electrode options, local or remote totalizers, signal outputs, and options for buried/submerged service. ABB Automation offers meters from 1/10" thru 72" in size. AMCO Water Meters now offers an electronic water meter - the AquaMaster. Designed to replace traditional combo meters in the municipal market, the AquaMaster has better overall range, accuracy, and pressure drop compared to it's mechanical predecessor. The most remarkable feature of this meter is it's ability to operate off internal lithium batteries that are rated for 3 years. The AquaMaster is available in 2" thru 12" lines sizes with a rubber elastomer liner and 316SS electrodes. A scaled pulse output is standard, with options for AC power and a remote transmitter/display. Ultrasonic flowmeters from Dynasonics utilize a clamp-on transducer assembly to transmit ultrasound through a pipe wall and into a flowing liquid. The ultrasonic signal is reflected from suspended solids or entrained gases in solution. A second transducer detects the reflected signal and the meter's electronics measures the phase shift between the emitted and returned signals which is proportional to fluid velocity. This is a non-intrusive flowmeter, which makes it an excellent tool for plant survey work or a low cost way to measure flow in a line with particulate matter that would destroy a traditional in-line flowmeter. 10 Flow and Level Measurement The ABB MagMaster is available in a sanitary version for food service and pharmaceutical applications. It's suitable for use in dairies, breweries, and liquid food processing markets. The MagMaster provides +/- 0.2% accuracy with turndowns up to 1000:1. This meter is suitable for CIP (Clean-in-place) using chemical cleaners, hot water, and steam rinses. The liner is a food grade PTFE. The MagMaster conforms to national and international standards including 3A, FDA(PMO), USDA, FM, and CSA general purpose. The meter is only available with a remote display, offering rate & total, pulse, and 4-20mA outputs. The Blancett FloClean Sanitary turbine was developed for use in a wide variety of food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. The turbine comes standard with electropolished internals and meets 3A Sanitary standards. The FloClean is available in 3/8" through 2" line sizes and can be matched with a variety of local or remote displays & transmitters. The Sponsler sanitary turbine meter is designed to handle a wide range of food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. Available in sizes 1/2" through 3", these units come standard with food grade Teflon sleeve bearings. Optional 3A approval and electropolished internals are available at an additional cost. The meter is available with integral water proof displays as well as a variety of pulse and analog output signals. The Corrosive series precision turbine meter from Sponsler was specifically designed for hard to handle fluids such as hydrochloric acid, chlorine, and sulfuric acid. These meters are available in sizes 1/4” through 4” in a wide variety of corrosion resistant materials such as CPVC, Teflon, Kynar (PVDF), and Polypropylene. Flow and Level Measurement 11 A mechanical batching system consists of a flowmeter with a large, mechanical register mounted on top with a control valve bolted to the discharge side of the meter. A linkage arm between the register and the valve controls the valve operation. The operating steps are (1) reset the register to zero, (2) set the desired batch volume, and (3) pull the handle opening the valve to start the flow. The register will close the valve automatically when the preset volume has passed. This type of meter is available in a single or two-stage shut off. We have two manufacturers that offer this type of batching system. • • • • Simple, one piece installation Change gears are available for field calibration Best option for explosion proof applications if meter design is suitable Limited to larger flowmeters capable of producing enough torque to drive the register An electronic batching system uses three separate components: a flow meter with pulser, an electronic batch controller, and a valve. An electronic batching system will typically cost between 1/3 to 1/2 the price of a comparable mechanical batcher, except for applications in an explosion-proof environment, where an explosion-proof housing is required for the electronics. An electronic batching system has numerous technical advantages over a mechanical system. For example, in production line situations where the batch size stays the same, pressing a single button can be the only requirement placed on the operator. • • • • System calibration is made from the keypad on the batcher Uses any flow meter design that offers a pulse or analog output Typically 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of a comparable mechanical batching system Optional temperature and/or pressure compensation Hays offers bronze solenoid valves from 3/8" up to 2" in size. These valves are best suited for clean water, grey water, and steam applications. Solenoid valves provide a cost effective solution for single and two stage batch control. 12 Flow and Level Measurement SeaMetrics offers three different insertion-style meters: paddlewheel, turbine, and now magnetic. Available for 1/2" through 48" lines, these meters can handle a wide variety of liquids with a wide turndown ratio. These meters are available in PVC, Brass, or Stainless steel construction. They are installed using a 1 1/2" or 2" NPT fitting on the pipe. The insertion style meters from SeaMetrics come standard with pulse outputs, but have options for blind 4-20mA and local rate and total displays. Venture Measurement's Target insertion flowmeters have no moving parts to wear out. Suitable for liquid, gas, or steam service, these rugged flowmeters can be fitted in hostile environments where other meters would fail. An available all digital microprocessor based SMART display provides a wide turndown ratio with 1% of reading accuracy. These meters are available for line sizes 4" through 60" with a choice of a local or remote transmitters and displays. Level switches and transmitters from Babbitt International provide momentary or continuous level measurement for a wide range of liquid and dry solid applications. Built-in relays can control alarms, pumps, and/or valves. Fail-safe electronics provide a level of safety in case power should fail. The ABM Ultrasonic Level Transmitter allows non-contact level measurement of fluids in a tank, sump, or other container. Simple pushbutton calibration and 4-20mA output is standard. Operational range is from 5 inches to 60 feet. The LTM Series Magnetostrictive Level Transmitters from Babbitt are designed to be used as stand-alone top-mounted level transmitters. They are typically used in applications where precision accuracy / high repeatability are required. LTM transmitters are calibrated in seconds and never drift due to changes in dielectric, temperature or pressure. A variety of probe and housing options are available. Flow and Level Measurement 13 Kessler-Ellis offers a diverse array of flow and level measurement products. This includes counters, timers, ratemeters, flow computers, batch controllers, level controllers, process monitors, etc. We can program and install any of these devices into one of our custom enclosures. Kessler-Ellis also offers a variety of signal transmitters that allow a user to condition or modify the output signal from a flow meter into a signal that their computer, remote display, or PLC can use. For example, you can use the SC-FI series transmitter to convert your frequency signal into a 4-20mA analog signal. In those applications that are in an explosion-proof area, Kessler-Ellis also offers custom explosion-proof enclosures for many of their products. Many are available with special push-through buttons that allow the user to interact with the controller or display without having to open the housing. The Partlow circular chart recorder is capable of measuring, recording, and controlling up to two flow measurement loops at the same time. The chart recorder is intended to accept thermocouples, RTD's, linear voltage, or a 420madc analog signal from any flowmeter. The chart is a 10" circular type, available with 8 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, 48 hour, and 7 day rotation. The MIC 1820 and MIC 1420 are fuzzy logic process controllers which dramatically improve the quality of control in PID controllers. Instead of learning from an event and reacting after the fact, these controllers react as the event occurs. These units will accept thermocouples, RTD's, 4-20madc and linear DC voltage. 14 Flow and Level Measurement We offer a wide selection of NEMA 4 rated enclosures to protect your electronics from the surrounding environment. These enclosures are constructed of either fiberglass or plastic and are available with solid or clear covers. We also can custom cut any of our enclosures to fit your new or existing electronics. Do you need a custom solution for remote monitoring or batch control? Do you need multiple displays in one enclosure? We can custom design a plug-n-go solution for your application that meets all of your needs. Available options include internal wiring, push-buttons, water-tight cable grips, signal cables, and power cords. Blacoh Sentry Series Pulsation Dampeners and Surge Suppressors protect your piping and equipment from pulsations & hydraulic shock. Pulsation and surge are not the same. A pulsation is normally associated with the reciprocating nature of a pump and the pressure fluctuations generated by it. Surge or "water hammer" is a condition created by the rapid reversal or stopping of a liquid – typically occurring from a quick closing valve. In these situations, the pressure spike created can be up to six times higher than the normal system pressure. The Sentry is available in a wide variety of metal and plastic body materials that can be combined with over 12 different bladder options. The dampener requires compressed air or nitrogen to operate. The air chamber can either be filled using a portable supply of air or be permanently connected to an air supply line. Flow and Level Measurement 15 First, we need to know the Five Basic things about the application: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) What What What What What is is is is is the the the the the fluid? min/max flow rate? line pressure? process temperature? line size? In some circumstances, we may also need to know the following: Ø Ø Ø Ø Viscosity Specific Gravity Solids Content Special Materials of Construction We will also need to know what you want the meter to do: Ø Ø Ø Ø Indicate flow rate Totalize (resettable and/or non-resettable) Signal outputs (including pulse & 4-20mA) Batch Control (both mechanical & electronic)
