FPI Mag Flow Meter from McCrometer

FPI Mag Flow Meter from McCrometer

This type of flow meter is designed for accurate measurement of fluid flow in large pipes.

The FPI Mag is a Full Profile Insertion flow meter

combining the ease of hot tap installation with an accurate measurement of the full flow profile. This is accomplished with a unique operating principle featuring multiple electrodes across the entire pipe diameter. This allows the FPI Mag to deliver accuracy unmatched by other insertion mag meters and rivals the performance of a full-bore mag meter.

The FPI Mag Flow Meter from McCrometer installs without interrupting service

De-watering lines, cutting pipe or welding flanges. Installation costs are reduced by eliminating the need for heavy equipment or extensive manpower. The FPI Mag is the industry’s most economical flow metering solution for large pipe sizes, reducing installed costs by more than 45 percent.

The enhanced design of the new FPI Mag Flow Meter

Features additional sensing electrodes across the entire pipe diameter for increased sensitivity and is now packaged in a heavy-duty 316 stainless steel sensor body for maximum structural integrity. The sensor is coated with a NSF certified 3M fusion-bonded epoxy coating for operational longevity.

The FPI Mag meter’s compact insertion design

fits in confined spaces with limited access and offers total accessibility. The flow meter can be removed in pipes under pressure for easy inspection, cleaning, calibrating or verification with McCrometer’s own NIST traceable Calibration Lab. It is particularly cost-effective for retrofit applications replacing flow meters or in sites never metered before.

Here’s a summary of the key features and benefits pf FPI Mag

1. Hot Tap Installation:
   The FPI Mag Flow Meter allows for easy installation without interrupting service. It does not require de-watering lines, cutting pipes, or welding flanges.
2. Accuracy and Full Flow Profile: The flow meter employs a unique operating principle with multiple electrodes across the entire pipe diameter, providing accurate measurement of the full flow profile. This accuracy is said to rival that of a full-bore mag meter.
3. Cost-Effective Installation: Installation costs are reduced by eliminating the need for heavy equipment or extensive manpower. The FPI Mag is touted as the industry’s most economical flow metering solution for large pipe sizes, claiming to reduce installed costs by more than 45%.
4. Enhanced Design: The new design features additional sensing electrodes for increased sensitivity. The sensor body is constructed with heavy-duty 316 stainless steel for maximum structural integrity. The sensor is also coated with a NSF certified 3M fusion-bonded epoxy coating for operational longevity.
5. Total Accessibility and Removability: The insertion design allows the flow meter to fit in confined spaces with limited access. It can be removed in pipes under pressure for easy inspection, cleaning, calibration, or verification. This makes it particularly cost-effective for retrofit applications or in sites never metered before.
6. Calibration and Maintenance: The flow meter comes pre-calibrated from McCrometer’s NIST traceable Calibration Lab. It is designed with virtually no recalibration or maintenance requirements. With no moving parts, the sensor is claimed to contain nothing to wear or break.
