Universal Transducers

Selected generally for portable systems where a wide variety of pipes are to be measured. Since they are selected based on diameter only, a wide range of pipe sizes and materials can be covered with a minimum number of transducers. These can also be selected as a cost savings on applications where accuracy standard accuracy is sufficient.

High Precision Transducers

Selected generally for dedicated meters since the need to cover a range of pipes is not a requirement. They provide the highest accuracy achievable by the meters and therefore should be selected whenever higher accuracy/repeatability is required. They are only applicable to steel pipes but no other metals, and are selected solely by wall thickness.

High Temperature transducers

Are selected whenever pipe temperature will exceed 250 ºF (120 ºC) up to a maximum of 450 ºF (232 ºC). They are universal type and can therefore be used on any pipe material and are selected by pipe diameter.

Weld Seal Mount

These provide the most secure and strongest mounting of the flow transducers. They are generally selected for "High End" meter types where maximum performance criteria applies. They accommodate high precision transducers designed to mount inside these enclosures. May be welded to the pipe if so desired by the customer. They come in 2-piece or 1-piece configurations depending upon the application pipe size and type (Liquid/Gas).

Mounting tracks

Typically used on smaller pipes for easier and more stable mounting for dedicated universal style transducer size A or B, also available for dedicated high precision transducer size A or B.

Mounting Frames

These items are useful in simplifying transducer installation. They are strapped to the pipe first then the transducers are installed, making the installation less cumbersome and more precise. They also enable easy repeated mounting of the transducers assuring conformation to the original transducer positioning. They may be left in place at each measurement location where periodic flow surveys are conducted to simplify subsequent installations and ensure repeatable results.

Spacer Bars

Transducers are required to be mounted at a set distance from each other as determined by pipe size and medium being measured. The spacer bar simplifies this requirement by eliminating the need to undertake a precise dimensional measurement. The flowmeter will specify a specific spacing index which is easily accommodated with the marked indices on the bar.

Clamp-On RTD's

1000 W platinum RTD's for use where temperature is required. Used with Energy Meters to record supply/return temperature. For this purpose precision matched pairs (to 0.02 ºC) are supplied. Single RTD's are also used with FUH and FUG meters to enable live calculations of "Liquident" and Standard Volume Correction.

7ME3950-...

Insert RTD's

Are identical to clamp-on RTD's as described above except that they are inserted into the pipe (In a Thermo-well). They provide more precise and quicker responding temperature measurement. They are selected when precise temperature measurement of the actual liquid or gas is required as opposed to pipe "skin temperature". Since they project into the pipe they cannot be used in pipeline that undergo periodic "pigging".

7ME3950-...

Thickness gauge

Used to measure the wall thickness of the pipe to be measured. Uses Transit-Time technology to measure R/T travel time and compute wall thickness. This parameter is an essential part of the meter programming to ensure accurate flow measurement, but is often not known specifically or accurately.

7ME3950-...

Portable Meter Carry Case

A soft sided carry bag that provides an easy method of transporting the portable flowmeter and all required hardware into the field for survey measurements.

7ME3951-...

Standard Cable (Flow Transducer or RTD)

Selected for general purpose installations where no special application requirements (as outlined below) exist.

7ME3960-...

Submersible Cable (Flow Transducer)

Polyethylene jacketed, for locations that experience periodical or continual submersion of the flow transducers.

7ME3960-...

Plenum Cable (Flow Transducer or RTD)

For temperatures above 180 ºF. Teflon jacketed to withstand high temperatures, is used when high temp transducers are specified.

7ME3960-...

Armored Cable (Flow Transducer)

Double shielded cable, selected when cable will not be installed in conduit between meter and transducers.

7ME3960-...

Temperature sensor cable

Cable to connect field installed RTD to flow meter, available in Teflon wrapped, plenum or submersible grade. Typically used for FUE, FUH and FUG series meters where a temperature sensor is employed.

7ME3960-...

Straps

Used to fasten transducers or mounting frames to pipe for dedicated meter installations. Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance.

7ME3960-...

Chains (EZ clamps)

Used to fasten portable transducers or mounting frames to pipe. Thumbscrews eliminate need for hand tools when mounting transducers, and allow for easy on/off operations.

7ME3960-...

Ultrasonic Couplant

Fills any voids between transducer emitting surface and pipe wall to allow maximum energy transfer between transducer and pipe. Several different types of couplants are employed as determined by the application conditions and type of installation (Temporary or permanent).

7ME3960-...

Dampening Material

Used with gas meters, and required as part of their transducer installation. This material absorbs excess ultrasonic energy from the pipe wall to enable the meter to detect and operate with low amplitude transducer signals normally associated with Clamp-on Gas applications.

7ME3960-...

Test Block

Used for checking operation of a meter and transducers prior to a field installation, or as a troubleshooting tool. Selected by transducer size, each block accommodates 2 transducer sizes. Available only for universal transducers.

7ME3960-...

Termination Kit (Flow Transducer or RTD)

Provides the connectors, labels and shrink tubing or other associated hardware to complete the termination of a specific cable type. These can be provided in cases where users will be purchasing bulk cable directly and cutting to length at their site, or when existing cable length is to be altered. Selected bycable type.
