Mag meter installation Bell Flow Systems is a distributor of flow meters, instrumentation and fluid transfer equipment for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. The company was recently approached by a customer whowas having a problem with an existing meter installation.

Bell Flow Systems said the best option was to quote an accurate meter with no moving parts. A Badger Meter M1000 mag flow meter was suited as it featured no moving parts and would measure the clean water, and no damage would be caused to the meter by occasional sand or silt. The M1000 has an accuracy of ±0.5 per cent, is available with hard rubber or PTFE liner, wafer, DIN or ANSI flanged connections, Hastelloy C measuring and empty pipe electrodes as standard, as well as pulse and 4-20 mA outputs. After fitting the M1000 mag meter, the customer reported having no more

The customer had previously installed a geared flow meter for their application but due to the suspended particles in the water, the meter kept jamming and causing the meter to cease. This in turn caused problems further up the line. The customer’s application was for silty and sandy water from borehole testing. The majority of the time the water was clean, but occasionally there would be silt and sand in the water, and this was where the issue arose with the existing meter jamming.
