New Flowmeter Design Eliminates Need For Current Generation of Propeller Meters

February 01, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Hudson, MA—Clark Solutions new WMX101 flowmeter features an ingenious, economical design that dramatically lowers total cost of ownership for municipal utility or industrial water and wastewater installations. With no moving parts to wear WMX101 electromagnetic flow meters are seen as ideal replacements for propeller meters that have been the norm in the industry. For simplicity, no field programming is of these meters is required. Large, domed measurement and grounding electrodes discourage fouling that often plagued conventional flow meters. Flow rate and total flow indications are standard for WMX101 flowmeters and there is a solid-state pulse output for connection to standard telemetry systems or to an external 4-20 mA converter. Power required for the meter is within easy range of a solar panel, which can be ordered as an accessory or obtained locally. A shielded power/pulse output cable with DIN connection is included with the meter. Optional features include immersable electronics for occasional vault flooding. The AO55 pulse to analog converter can be added where a 4-20 mA signal is required.
