Spirax Sarco water flowmeter simplifies boiler efficiency measurement
Litre Meter long-term
supply relationship gives strategic security for new product development
manufacturer of precision agricultural spraying systems for meters to be used in a new range of high- tech equipment. Litre Meter has been supplying flowmeter products for agricultural machinery for 40 years. The flowmeters are used in the delivery of chemicals and fertilizers in precision equipment that accurately delivers exact quantities via GPS- controlled machines. The company is unable to name its customer for its latest contract because of the confidential nature of the current product development work. Through a long-established customer relationship Litre Meter has been able to react over time to its customer’s needs, providing long-term support for spares and rigorous testing regimes in support of new product development. The business has been based on the supply and continued development of Litre Meter’s Pelton
U Wheel
flowmeters. These meters are accurate and versatile and can be used to measure a variety of low viscosity materials at both low and high flow rates.

pirax Sarco has extended its range of flowmeters with the launch of an electromagnetic flowmeter for measuring
water and other conductive liquids. The Spirax Sarco ELectroMagnetic Flowmeter (ELM10) is aimed primarily at boiler feed water and cold make-up water monitoring applications. Its launch means a steam system operator can now source all its steam and condensate loop meters from a single supplier, saving them time and money and ensuring the most suitable meters for the requirements of this specialist field. The ELM10 is also suitable for process applications to identify ways to cut water consumption, and can be used in the wider plant to meter slurry and other conductive liquids such as waste water. The ELM10 can be integrated with Building Management Systems (BMS) or Spirax Sarco’s new B850 Flow Computer to provide accurate data on all aspects of boiler operation. By using ELM10 to meter the energy into the boiler (in the feed water) and compare it with the useful energy leaving the boiler (in the steam) boiler operators can gain a true picture of the actual energy efficiency of their boiler. This enables any drops in boiler performance (for example due to inefficient boiler blow down procedures or degradation of insulation) to be spotted quickly, helping to reduce maintenance costs and minimising downtime. This compact, single component meter is easy to install and cost-effective to run. The ELM10’s smooth internal surfaces allow liquids to flow freely, reducing wear on pumps and cutting running costs. The meter can be sized to installed pipework for fitting to existing boiler plant.

HBM offers a precise solution for high rotational speeds
A
s requirements for torque measurement increase in terms of speed and precision, the T40B torque transducer from HBM
- a market leader in the field of test and measurement - now offers a precise solution for high rotational speeds with EtherCAT gateway.
Previously available with a maximum
continuous rotational speed of 20,000 rpm in the standard version, the T40B is now also available in a high speed version which features a rotational speed measuring system, which can be used, without restrictions, at the torque transducer's maximum rated rotation speed up to 24,000 rpm. Providing a measurement accuracy of 0.03% in terms of linearity deviation, including hysteresis error, the latest version of the T40B torque transducer guarantees maximum precision and accuracy.

Simply reliable level measurement E
ndress+Hauser’s low-cost capacitive level switch is ideal for the food & beverage industry thanks to its materials of construction and flush design. The Nivector FTC968 is simple to install and completely maintenance free as it has no moving parts or need for calibration.
The Nivector FTC968 is suitable for all kinds of free-flowing
powders and fine-grained solids including foodstuffs such as grain, sugar, spices and semolina. One model also comes with Ex approval for use in dust-explosion hazardous areas.
Its compact size means it’s quick and easy to install in vessels (top or side
mounted). As well as its mechanical safety, cost-efficiency and long operating life due to no wear and tear, the device also offers reliable operation due to its high immunity to electromagnetic interference and voltage peaks. Starting at £80, the Nivector FTC968 is competitively priced and is available with multi-buy discounts, free delivery and a 12 month warranty. And, with a typical lead time of two days, you won’t have to wait long for your order.
