Flow Measurement & Control


Low-cost flow monitoring

November 2009 Flow Measurement & Control

Many intrusive flow techniques suffer from installation setbacks like plant shutdown, intrinsic safety hazards, mechanical problems and health risks. Environmental Process Analytics combats these problems with the introduction of a range of clamp on non intrusive ultrasonic flowmeters.

The EPU3000 range offers high accuracy with a 10 minute installation time at a competitive cost.

Benefits and features include:

* No intrusive pipe disturbances, no risk of leakage, no moving parts and no pressure drop.

* Wide pipe size range: DN 20 – DN 6000 mm.

* Wide measurement range.

* High temperature (up to 160°C) operation.

* Suitable for all common pipe materials.

* Suitable for most pure liquids and liquids with minor particles.

* Built-in flow totalisers, batch controller and task scheduler.

* Isolated 8-36 V DC power supply.

* Local LCD display.

* Isolated RS485 interface with power surge protection.

* Automatically matches transducer to pipe materials and liquid property with proprietary signal quality tracking and self-adaptation technology.

The EPU3000 range is ideal for general flow survey, testing, water conservation management, beverage and food processing, chemical process monitoring, power plant monitoring, and other closed-pipe applications where non-intrusive measurement is required.

Examples of liquids include water, sewage, oil, chemicals, beverages and water/glycol solutions.
