McCrometer FPI-X Dual Sensor Electromagnetic Flow Meter

Process and plant engineers contending with swirl and other flow disturbances in the line will find the FPI-X Dual Sensor Electromagnetic Flow Meter from McCrometer delivers accurate and repeatable measurements under extreme flow conditions. The flow meter achieves ±0.5% accuracy under severe swirling flows, as it is designed for use in close proximity to cascading or multiple pump arrays.

Whether installed near pumps, valves, elbows, headers or any other equipment that makes it impossible to create a symmetrical velocity flow profile in the pipe, the product is claimed to outperform traditional meters. The mag meter provides measurement in difficult sites that otherwise require multiple meters in various locations. It eliminates the expensive flow conditioners and piping modifications necessary with other meters.

The flow meter features a dual sensor configuration designed with multiple electromagnetic coils installed throughout both sensors to produce a magnetic field across the complete cross-sectional area of the pipe. Placing voltage sensors in two planes across the pipe compensates for differences in velocity caused by severe flow disturbances. More velocity sensors results in a more accurate measurement.

Multipoint sensing technology makes the mag meter suitable in cramped, retrofitted and new construction pumping stations or in any constrained space areas with limited straight pipe run availability. The sensor’s body is hermetically sealed and protected by NSF-certified 3M fusion-bonded epoxy coating. With no moving parts, the product requires little to no maintenance.
