Overview
FEA100 insertion flowmeters are an economic alternative to full bore flowmeters. They comprise an electromagnetic sensing head mounted on the end of a support rod. FEA100 finds application in existing water distribution systems where provision for flow metering was not originally made and where a full bore flow meter would be uneconomic. The assembly can be installed in existing pipelines without the need for major excavations or alterations to pipe work normally associated with the installation full bore meters.
The AquaProbe FEA100 extends the capability of the ABB AquaProbe flowmeter by bringing together the proven. AquaProbe flow sensor with the innovative WaterMaster
transmitter. AquaProbe has been designed, in close consultation with the water industry, as an economic alternative to full-bore metering. It comprises an electromagnetic sensing head mounted on the end of a support rod. The sensing head can be installed in existing pipelines without the need for the major excavations or alterations to pipework associated with full-bore meters. It can be fitted without interrupting the water supply and can be removed easily for periodic calibration or inspection.
AquaProbe is designed for installation in existing pipelines by means of a small valved tapping. It is normally installed with the sensing head on the pipe centerline, but may be located at the critical position (the mean velocity position) a distance of 1/8 of the pipe diameter away from the wall. It provides an accurate local measurement of the water
velocity and, provided the flow profile is developed fully, a good flow volume measurement.
