Why are Magnetic Flow Meters popular in wastewater applications in the Philippines? If we understand the working principle of a Magnetic Flow Meter, it becomes more obvious that they work well when minerals are present. Tap water, water from a well, drinking water, sewage and sludge all contain more than enough minerals in the water for a Faraday effect to take place. The video explanation shows how Faraday’s Law is exploited by using electromagnetic principles to measure velocity. This type of meter normally requires the pipe to be full but other options are available for partially filled pipes.
-
Easily measure the flow of wastewater pipes that are partially full.
This type of flow meter is excellent for gravity flow applications in wastewater
Wastewater Flowmeters
Flow Meter designed used in partially filled pipes for wastewater flows
Where is the wastewater flow meter installed?
Normally in areas where there is a need to measure the wastewater before the treatment plant or treatment equipment.
Can the meter measure small gravity flow of wastewater?
Yes, the flowmeter has been designed to measure flows of water that do not fill the whole pipe area.
How does the wastewater meter work?
The meter works by simultaneously measuring the flow rate and height of the water flow to determine the volume of water
What sizes of wastewater flowmeters are available?
The available sizes can be selected from the chart below
What is the minimum flow velocity measurement?
The minimum velocity that can be detected is 0.05 m/s
The flow meter has been designed to install on partially filled pipes from DN 200 -3000. Various flow applications exist where accountability or regulatory requirements in industrial wastewater or instances where pressure does not exist encourage the use of the flow measuring cell.
Model selections available
Advantages:
