This flowmeter is accurate — even for short pipe runs
The full-bore, Signet 2580 FlowtraMag magnetic flowmeter (photo) is designed for high-accuracy flow measurement in short pipe runs. High accuracy is achieved for these problematic runs with a new sensor design that has shorter inlet and outlet pipe lengths, and certified factory calibration. All thermoplastic construction provides superior corrosion resistance for long, maintenance-free service life. Available in pipe sizes of 1-, 2- and 4-in. PVC (polyvinylchloride) Schedule 80, the FlowtraMag is two to three times lighter in weight compared to traditional metal magmeters on the market. The unit offers accuracy of±1% of reading and repeatability of±0.5%. Streamlined monitoring and complete versatility is provided via the meter’s broad communications capabilities across multiple platforms. These include digital (S3L), frequency, and active or passive analog 4–20 mA. Visual LED indicators make sensor status clear and easy to read. Unlike other meters that can only connect to flanges, the 2580 can connect to union ends in sizes 2 in. or less, and flanges in 4 in. — Georg Fischer LLC, Irvine, Calif.
