MSR Magmeter - Model Magnum Standard -Magnetic Insertion Flowmeter
The Magnum flowmeter is used in applications ranging from water to fish-plant effluent. The only criteria for its use are that the liquid measured be conductive and that the pipes ranging from size 3" up to 50 " are completey filled. An extra long version is available for pipes up to 120". Each Magnum is application independent. This means that the Magnum can be moved between different pipe sizes and even different liquids simply by changing a few parameters in the Magio III setup software. It also means that we always have Magnums in stock and ready to ship. This picture shows the sensor of the Magnum flowmeter with it`s universal mounting mechanism This can be used to insert and retract the sensor even under full line pressure. The transmitter beside it houses the electronics and the display and can be mounted up to 150 ft away from the measurement location.
Magnum is a magnetic flowmeter for measuring the flow of conductive fluids in pipes ranging from 3” to 120” and above
Magnum is an entirely digital instrumet. All internal functions of the flowmeter are controlled by software. Setup and configuration for applications are handled by the Magio 3.0 software interface, which runs on any Windows based PCs. Setup can be done in the field on a laptop or in the office at a desktop PC.
Once the setup is completed the instrument can be installed through a 2” NPT tap. The only requirements are cabling for power in (12-24 VDC) and signal out (4-20mA).The Magnum also features optional hardware for datalogging.
The Magnum can measure flow in pipes of any size. Hydraulic experiments at the University of Alberta have established that the mean velocity of any liquid flowing through any pipe is to be found at 11% of the pipe’s diameter. The Magnum can be inserted to that point in any pipe, because it uses a sensor and a universal mount which allow a wide range of insertion depths. All the user needs to do, is to program the new pipe size into the Magnum’s computerized transmitter.
The 11% insertion depth also has another advantage. It allows the force of the flow itself to clean the electrodes of the sensor, which in conventional in-line magmeters often become coated, because they are too close to the pipe-wall, where the lowest velocities are usually found.
The Magnum should be installed a minimum distance from up or downstream flow obstacles, and not near possible airpockets. The universal mount is a unique feature of this instrument. It is what allows the adjustable insertion depth and provides the Magnum such a wide range of application; but even more important to those who want to decrease their installation costs, limit their maintenance budget, and avoid shutdowns, the universal mount allows hot-tap installation.
The Magnum can be installed on an existing pipe by one single person, often without having to shut down the line. It can be removed for maintenance simply and safely, and is rugged enough to withstand anything you can throw at it. Chances are that the pipe will need to be replaced before the flowmeter.
