Insertion Magnetic Flow Meters

Series MFX

Series MFX Insertion MagProbe™ Flow Meters are a cost-effective solution for accurate measurement of conductive liquid flow in closed conduit, pressurized-pipe applications. The MFX system consists of a hot-tappable insertion-type sensor that mounts through a 1-1/2" ball valve pipe-tap into the flowing liquid and a remote digital display enclosure. The digital display is utilized to program engineering units, view flow rate/totalizer values and provide process outputs. Velocity and pipe diameter information are entered by the user via the display keypad or ULTRALINK™ software and used to calculate volumetric flow, over wide flow ranges, with a high degree of accuracy.

The Series MFX is more versatile and convenient than most conventional full-pipe magnetic meters.  MFX meters can be universally applied to a large range of pipe sizes without hardware changes, compared to the specific internal pipe dimension design of conventional magnetic meters. In addition, cost differences are minimal when moving to larger pipe sizes. MagProbe sensors are available in various lengths to accommodate limited access mounting configurations and installation in pipe internal diameters from 4 to 120 inches (102 to 3048 mm).

The MFX reliably measures most conductive fluids including water, sewage, wastewater, clarified water, RAS, WAS, primary sludge and cooling tower water, as long as adequate lengths of straight pipe are available where the sensor is installed.

Additional MagProbe features include:

• Absolute (bi-directional) measurements from 0.1 to 30 FPS (0.03 to 9 MPS)
• Integrated sensor pre-amplifier permits separation of up to 990 feet (297 m) between the sensor probe and MFX electronic analyzer
• Optional optically isolated, field replaceable input/output modules include: 4-20 mA, dual-relay, rate pulse, RS232 and RS485
• Hot-tap sensor can be installed and retracted from process piping without draining or depressurizing the system
• High impedance input circuits minimize the influence of electrode coating
• Industrial-grade sensor design: NEMA 6 (IP 67) submersible, temperature to 225 °F (105 °C), pressure to 700 PSIG (48 barg), titanium, 316SS, Viton^® and PVDF wetted materials
• ULTRALINK™ PC utility permits configuration and intelligent diagnostics to be performed
