What drives the selection
Particle size, loading, abrasion, entrained air and maintenance conditions
Candidate technologies
Suitable electromagnetic or irrigation-specific meter; suitable ultrasonic after assessment. Each is a starting point requiring exact-model validation.
Candidate
Electromagnetic flow meters
Lowest measured conductivity. Liner, electrode and seal compatibility.
CandidatePropeller and irrigation water meters
Particle size, fibres and solids concentration. Intermittent pumping and air.
Information to send with your enquiry
- Minimum, normal, continuous maximum and peak flow, including duration
- Particle size, loading, abrasion, entrained air and maintenance conditions
- Connection, orientation, pressure, temperature and available straight pipe
- Power, data/reporting requirements, delivery pin code and quantity
What would rule a candidate out?
Check fluid incompatibility, an unsupported flow band, excessive pressure loss, unsuitable filling/orientation, missing power and an unproven approval or data interface. Resolve these before selecting by price.
