Many considerations will impact what type of meter is best for the job. It will help tremendously to consider the local environment, any possible pipeline intervention, and what the project priorities are. The flow meter can be used as a guide to making rational decisions about flow by knowing how it will interact with the … Continued
Hydronic systems are stringent and have exact criteria for flow calculation that must be met by commercial and industrial facilities. Flow meters take care of measuring closed-loop energy where the liquid is absorbed by a source, cooled or heated, and then provided to a load as needed. Effective hydronic device installation is a crucial phase, … Continued
The McCrometer® McMag 2000 and McMag 3000 may have similar names and a small number change, but the differences between the two electromagnetic (mag) meters go much deeper. For example, the Mc®Mag 3000’s sensor is identical to the FPI’s, except it has more electrodes, and the line is more invasive. The tilted sensor positioning, however, … Continued

Syrinix’s versatile, intuitive, high-resolution remote monitoring offers a trustworthy experience to help and enhance a changing workforce of utilities. With the RADAR tech framework, a host of innovative analytical methods can be used collaboratively by the team to offer a new … Continued
About two decades ago, Little Rock, Arkansas was dealing with a severe overflow issue. Any time it rained, hundreds of overflows were occurring, including lasting for several hours. Today, that number has been reduced dramatically and that is partially due to InfoSense’s Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool (SL-RAT). As part of the initiative, the Little … Continued
The Dynasonics® TFX-5000 Ultrasonic Clamp-On Flow Meter by Badger Meter is an award-winning solution providing accurate flow measurement for a multitude of applications. These ultrasonic meters monitor flow velocity through ultrasound waves and are available in both transit time and Doppler technology choices. Let’s explore a few reasons why these flow meters are worth considering. … Continued
In parallel with propeller meters, straightening vanes and flow straighteners have become a significant component of flow calculation in the agricultural industry, and with an important purpose. Flow straighteners and vanes, usually mounted close to flow disturbers or in short straight-run applications, minimize swirl and assist propeller meters in achieving a precise flow reading. With … Continued
As a bacteria, legionella may cause legionellosis, better known as the type of severe type of pneumonia called Legionnaires’ disease. If left untreated, it can become fatal. Legionella has greater chances of growing industrial buildings where water becomes stagnant, especially ones that may be empty. It can even resist the effects of chlorine, reinforcing the … Continued
Syrinix RADAR is a cloud platform containing all of the essential analysis of information and data for its logger solutions. Once the PIPEMINDER unit has been deployed, operators don’t have to use valuable time waiting for the unit to integrate with RADAR. Data is already becoming available as soon as the PIPEMINDER starts up, allowing … Continued
Previously we talked about the WaterPoint Network (WPN) by 64seconds, a robust utility management system integrating several useful features such as leak detection and easy work order management. Today, we’re focusing on one of the components of WPN, WaterPoint LNC, a leak noise correlator capable of pinpointing pipe leaks designed for use on Apple® iOS … Continued
