A successful management and monitoring of your water system relies heavily on precise flow measurement. This is where the power of flow meters comes into play, offering a real-time insight into the amount of water streaming through your system. Recognizing this crucial component, our expert team at the Avanti Company is equipped to supply nothing … Continued
Avanti is your #1 source for Metering Systems, where you can find McCrometer products. McCrometer recently released new information on their Hach Flow DDS product. Their article promotes Hach Flow’s Data Delivery Services (DDS) as an efficient and cost-effective solution for analyzing Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) in collection systems during wet-weather seasons. Without requiring a … Continued
Mining operations can benefit from McCrometer’s flow measurement devices in managing their slurry and tailings operations. Choosing the right technology is key as not all flow meters are alike. Electromagnetic flow meters are popular as they tolerate slurries with 50-60% solids and can resist harsh and corrosive flows. Accuracy and repeatability are also essential … Continued
Ultrasonic flowmeters utilize sound waves to calculate fluid flow velocity in a pipe. The frequencies of an ultrasonic wave transmitted into a pipe and its fluid reflections remain the same under no-flow conditions. Thanks to the Doppler effect, the amplitude of the reflected wave differs under flowing conditions. The frequency shift will increase … Continued
The drive to provide an optimum level of service plus the scarcity of water has spurred utility managers to concentrate more on obtaining the most accurate and current insights into their distribution systems. A major aspect of this involves flow measurement. Traditional center-line electromagnetic flow meters do not account for variations in velocities across a … Continued
Steam system operators may find themselves paying a steep price if product passes through a meter but doesn’t get measured. Commonly known as low flow cutoff, these losses typically happen because of a flow meter’s turndown ratio, which determines how wide a flow spectrum is able to be measured. If low flow cutoff is … Continued
The Avanti Company is exceptionally proud of the many esteemed manufacturers we work with, and we strive to build strong, long-term relationships with all of our partners. We are proud to say we were bestowed the 2018 Partner in Excellence Award by our partner McCrometer in recognition of our outstanding contributions and valued partnership! McCrometer … Continued
We are excited to welcome the meter technologies and products of Badger Meters Flow Instrumentation Group. Among these products is the Badger Meter® FC-5000, a microprocessor-driven flow computer built to accurately monitor flow. The FC-5000 flow computer works with the full line of Badger Meter industrial flow meters to create a solution to totalize … Continued
Last time we discussed a few of the fundamental differences between AMR and AMI systems. Today we’re taking a closer look at the latter and the different ways a utility can use the technology to conserve and reduce non-revenue water. With a metered leak detection, an AMI system raises a flag if a continuous flow … Continued
Honolulu’s Covanta Energy Corporation faced a stubborn problem of having to accurately measure cooling tower blowdown water flowing at irregular intervals prior to reinjection into the facility’s caprock. This irregular flow resulted in foam and bubbles forming in the line, necessitating a better flow meter solution to ensure that the facility remained within its daily … Continued
Have you been to the McCrometer website lately? If you haven’t, you’ll be in for a fresh experience that will work as fluidly in your modern web browser as it does on your mobile phone. You’ll notice a much simpler navigation structure that should reduce the time it takes associates and customers to find product … Continued
We conclude our three-part Utilizing Flow Meters for Water Management blog series by shedding some light on pump optimization. The process involved in moving raw water through treatment and then to delivery via the operation of pumps is one of the biggest costs a municipal water utility has to deal with. Multiple sources are often … Continued
