New pipe sizes for monitor
September 1st 2004 The metris family of calorimetric mass flow meters from ifm electronic has been extended.
Units are designed to monitor compressed air at the level of individual pieces or small groups of plant where most leaks occur.
This development offers manufacturing and process operations an opportunity to ensure that the resource is used effectively and economically.
The metris units come premounted and are now available for 11/2 and 2in pipes (originally for 1/2 and 1in pipes). They are designed for straightforward in-line installation in the drops and feeds to plant floor. New versions cover flow rates from 4 to 3750Nl/min.
The metris monitors have integral displays that give a continuous readout of instantaneous air consumption.
The display may also be used to show peak flow rate or accumulated consumption.
Units also feature several output options. The default zero and span adjustable 4 to 20mA analogue allows remote monitoring and data logging. Alternatively, output can be reconfigured using the two buttons on the unit to provide a pulse output every N1 or Nm3 to interface with meter monitoring equipment.
