McCrometer FPI-X dual sensor electromagnetic flow meter

The FPI-X Dual Sensor electromagnetic flow meter from McCrometer is designed to deliver accurate and repeatable measurement under extreme flow conditions, said to be unachievable with other technologies.

The flow meter reliably achieves ±0.5% accuracy under the most severe swirling flows. Designed for use in close proximity to cascading or multiple pump arrays, the meter delivers the advantage of accurate measurement where no flow meter previously could serve. Whether installed near pumps, valves, elbows, headers, or any other equipment that makes it impossible to create a symmetrical velocity flow profile in the pipe, the device is claimed to outperform traditional mag meters.

The mag meter provides measurement in difficult sites that otherwise require multiple meters in various locations, saving users both money and installation time. The FPI-X also eliminates the expensive flow conditioners and piping modifications necessary with other meters.

A dual-sensor configuration designed with multiple electromagnetic coils installed throughout both sensors produces a magnetic field across the complete cross-sectional area of the pipe. Placing voltage sensors in two planes across the pipe compensates for differences in velocity caused by severe flow disturbances. More velocity sensors results in a more accurate measurement.

Multi-point sensing technology makes the mag meter suitable for cramped, retrofit and new construction pumping stations or in any constrained space areas with limited straight pipe run availability. The sensor’s body is hermetically sealed and protected by NSF-certified, 3M fusion-bonded epoxy coating.
