The TORPEE-MAG is a hot tap full profile electromagnetic insertion flowmeter. Multiple electrodes placed across the entire sensor body at equal area, measure and report the average flow rate over the full diameter of the pipe.
This specific design of the multi-electrode sensor, unique on the market, compensates for variable flow profiles, including swirl and turbulent conditions, and allows installation without calibration on site.
The choice of materials, for both the rod (carbon fiber) and the electrode sets (graphite), makes TORPEE-MAG an extremely robust and corrosion resistant product.
The TORPEE-MAG is available in an externally powered version and in a standalone battery-powered version.
The TORPEE-MAG is the most economical flow metering solution for medium and large pipe sizes, reducing drastically installation costs, while rivaling the performance of a full-bore meter.
Applications
- Sectorization of drinking water networks
- Minimum Night Flow (MNF) monitoring and leak detection
- Counting and billing
- Transfer of untreated water, rainwater, wastewater without fiber or materials
- Pressure modulation as a function of flow rate
- Industrial applications: process water, wash water, cooling water, chilled water, etc.
- Others: irrigation, non-aggressive effluents, underwater applications...
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
- Design allows short upstream/downstream distances relative to sources of hydraulic disturbances
- Very robust and fully waterproof probes
- Can be used on sites with or without power
- Possible pressure measurement using the same hot tap
