Water meter overcomes traditional problems
Krohne's Waterflux bulk water meter is self-powered, can reduce maintenance costs and be read remotely via the internet or by mobile phone.
Level sensor monitors naphthalene
Naphthalene has a very low di-electric constant of around 2.2 at 100C, which makes it particularly difficult to measure.
Flowmeter improves wax production
The wax flowing through the flowmeter can vary in density from 0.8 to 1.0kg/litre and in viscosity from 5.5 to 1200cP.
To learn more about Krohne's Waterflux electromagnetic water meter, visit Booth 5077 at WEFTEC 2006 at the Dallas Convention Centre in Dallas, Texas, 22nd to 25th October 2006.
The Waterflux water meter delivers all the advantages of mechanical water meters while offering an elegant solution for traditionally problematic applications, such as water with suspended particles, bidirectional metering, or flow metering for pipe sizes larger than DN50.
Its unencumbered measuring path makes Waterflux superior to traditional water meters with respect to pressure drop and long-term stability, which are affected by the mechanics of conventional meters.
The Waterflux is competitively priced and requires minimal maintenance as compared with standard mechanical meters, providing for a low cost of ownership.
The Waterflux water meter features a built-in compact module that includes a data logger and a GSM transmitter designed especially for use in remote pipes or shafts.
The data logger stores all flow data, including peak values and low flow rates during night-time operation.
Data are transmitted via SMS or GPRS to the nearest transmission tower, and from there to an internet or cellular phone network server.
