Liquid flowmeter RS-2M is used for measurement of instantaneous liquid flow rate, calculating the accumulated liquid volume and keeping consumption archives
Purpose:
Flowmeters are used for:
- measurement of instantaneous liquid flow rate;
- calculating the accumulated liquid volume;
- keeping consumption archives.
Measurement method:
The physical principle of measurement is based on the electromagnetic induction phenomenon, in accordance with which, during motion of electroconductive liquid in the magnetic field, generated by excitation coils of the primary speed transducer, an electromotive force (EMF) is induced in it, which is proportional to the average speed of liquid motion. The output signal of the primary transducer comes to the computing unit where all the measured quantities are calculated.
This method has a number of advantages as compared to the conventional flowmeters of the turbine, impeller and other types:
- Sensitivity to small liquid flow rates-the turbine, impeller or another mechanism usually do not rotate at small liquid flow rates;
- Absence of moving parts in the flow-no friction, wear, and, as a consequence, deterioration of the flowmeter’s metrological performance, enhancement of reliability;
- Classical flowmeters create resistance to the liquid motion, while the probe does not affect the flow at all;
- The flowmeter is insensitive to contamination in liquid;
- Easy mounting without shut-off of the mainline;
- Perfectly suited for pipelines of larger diameter up to 1,700 mm.
Functions:
- Calculating the current liquid flow rate;
- Calculating the accumulated liquid volume;
- Keeping archives of measured quantities;
- Data transmission via a GSM-telemetry channel.
Field of application:
- Utility and household and industrial metering of water at the consumer’s side: residential apartment buildings, industrial facilities;
