- Water network management: Monitors flow in distribution systems for leak detection and performance analysis.
- Existing pipelines: Cost-effective retrofit solution without major excavation or pipe replacement.
- Flow profiling: Installable at the pipe centerline or critical points; supports traversing for accurate volume measurement in non-ideal conditions.
- Permanent installations: Ideal where budget or space constraints prevent use of traditional meters.
- Temporary or survey use: Hot-tap installation enables easy temporary placement for short-term data collection.
Insertion Electromagnetic Flowmeter AquaProbe
FEA100 insertion flowmeters are an economic alternative to full-bore flowmeters. They comprise an electromagnetic sensing head mounted on the end of a support rod. FEA100 finds application in existing water distribution systems where provision for flow metering was not originally made and where a full bore flow meter would be uneconomic. The assembly can be installed in existing pipelines without the need for major excavations or alterations to pipework normally associated with the installation of full-bore meters.
- Robust & submersible: Fully submersible design with durable stainless steel, PEEK, and nitrile rubber wetted parts.
- Hot-tap capability: Can be installed or removed under live flow through a valve—no shutdown required.
- Cost-effective: A low-cost alternative to full-bore meters, especially for large pipe diameters.
- Flexible installation: Suitable for permanent or temporary use through a small 1-inch tapping point.
- Versatile applications: Ideal for network analysis, leakage monitoring, flow surveys, and profiling.
- Wide measuring range: Accurately measures forward and reverse flow.
- High sensitivity: Insertion design captures flow profile variations within the pipe.
- For conductive fluids: Works with fluids having conductivity above 50 µS/cm.
