HydrINS2

Single-Point Insertion Electromagnetic Flowmeter

The HydrINS2 is a single-point insertion electromagnetic flowmeter offering great flexibility of use, as a stand-alone battery-powered or externally powered version, with unique possibilities of connecting to control systems, data loggers or remote meter reading networks (AMR/AMI).

It is available in several lengths to cover a wide range of pipe diameters, and may be deployed for permanent or portable applications.

Applications

Sectorization of drinking water networks
Minimum Night Flow (MNF) monitoring and leak detection
Verification of existing meters and flow meters
Metering on reservoirs, treatment plants, pumping stations, drinking water, irrigation, untreated water networks...

Main benefits

Installation and removal under pressure, without shutting down, emptying or cutting the pipe (hot tap installation)
Temporary equipment for maintaining the water supply is not required
High accuracy, even at low velocities (depending on site conditions)
Can be used on sites with or without power
Ideal for measurement campaigns thanks to battery autonomy and a wide range of diameters on a single model.
Possible pressure measurement using the same hot tap
Repair, maintenance and calibration services offered in Quebec
