Online Demo Explains FPI Mag Flow Meter

McCrometer's new online product demo is designed to make it easier to understand the application and low cost of ownership advantages of the hot-tap full-profile insertion FPI Mag Flow Meter. As the successor to McCrometer's Multi-Mag Insertion Flow Meter, the FPI Mag multi-electrode, hot-tap, full-profile insertion flow meter delivers a continuous total flow profile similar to a full-bore mag meter. The FPI Mag delivers benefits in terms of performance, ease of installation, low maintenance and value.

The enhanced design of the Full Profile Insertion Flow Meter features additional sensing electrodes for increased sensitivity and is now packaged in a heavy-duty 316 stainless-steel sensor body for maximum structural integrity. The sensor is coated with a NSF-certified 3M fusion-bonded epoxy coating for operational longevity. The FPI Mag with hot-tap installation addresses the increasing need for municipalities to provide uninterrupted service, while improving process control and ensuring delivery accountability.

The Full Profile Insertion Flow Meter from McCrometer installs without interrupting service, de-watering lines, cutting pipe or welding flanges. Installation costs are reduced by eliminating the need for heavy equipment or extensive manpower. The FPI Mag is an economical flow-metering solution for medium and large line sizes, reducing installed costs by more than 45 per cent. 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 Full Profile Insertion Flow Meter is available for line sizes from 4 to 138in. With highly stable measurement, the FPI Mag features accuracy of +/-1 per cent of reading +/-0.03ft/sec zero stability from 0.3 to 20ft/sec velocity range. The flow sensor comes pre-calibrated from McCrometer's NIST-traceable Calibration Lab and requires no recalibration in the field.

With no moving parts and a single-piece design, the FPI Mag's multi-electrode sensor contains nothing to wear or break and is generally immune to clogging by sand, grit or other debris. The FPI Mag supports liquid-flow measurement requirements in municipal water and effluent wastewater treatment. Typical municipal water applications include: wells, booster stations, effluent, filter balancing and backwash, pumping stations, UV dosing and potable water distribution.
