Mag probe insertion meters
UFW’s MG Series insertion electromagnetic flowmeters offer reliability and convenience in monitoring wastewater in 1”-8” pipe sizes. The new flow sensors have no moving parts, are insensitive to viscosity and tolerate pulsating flows. They’re well suited for dirty water in large pipes and corrosive environments with particulates in the fluid. They can measure flows from .54 gpm, the minimum rate for 1” pipe, to 3,120 gpm, the maximum rate for 8” pipe. Special fittings are required to ensure correct depth placement in the pipe. Inserts are tee-shaped for small pipes or saddle-shaped for large pipes. Flow sensors and tee fittings are furnished wet calibrated, while saddle fittings are field-installed.

Differential pressure
While traditional orifice-based DP flowmeters have only been able to maintain accuracy over a narrow 3:1 operating window, Emerson’s Rosemount® 3051S Ultra for Flow can support up to 14:1 flow turndown with better than a 0.5% of reading accuracy. Performance with the meter is specified as a % of reading, instead of the traditional % of span. This specification method eliminates degradation inherent in the nonlinear relationship between flow and DP.
