Flow, level & control
new flow testing facility to help water industry improve resource management
global water utility companies and meter manufacturers to assess flowmeter performance more accurately, as part of their strategy to deliver more effective, economic and sustainable water management. Accredited to ISO 17025, the facility’s enhanced
T
digital capabilities offer improved process and data automation, alongside significantly lower calibration measurement uncertainty. Muir Porter, head of Facility Operations at
TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory, says: “The global water industry is under immense pressure to deliver environmentally responsible services and there is an urgent need to improve resource management. Metering is essential for managing water supplies, helping water utility companies to deal with a wide range of demands such as abstraction, leakage, service monitoring and customer billing accuracy. Without effective flow measurement, process control, monitoring capabilities and data reporting are impossible, significantly reducing efficiency, reliability, sustainably and potentially leading to regulatory noncompliance.” NEL is the Designated Institute for Flow and
Density Measurement and is responsible for maintaining the UK’s physical flow
ÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) has completed the investment and upgrade of its water flow testing facility. The new facility will enable
measurement standards. As flowmeter technologies are constantly enhanced, it is essential that the uncertainty of the Primary Physical National Flow Standard is sufficiently low enough to validate the performance of new flowmeters. NEL’s facility upgrade investment ensures that the water flow
national standard is far enough advanced to stay ahead of industry and societal needs.

Liquid Chromatography FLowmeter adapts to wide range oF appLiCations
T
esta Analytical Solutions has launched a new enhanced version of its popular Liquid Chromatography Flowmeter.
Flow rate is one of the most important parameters in any liquid chromatography system, it determines retention time or volume and therefore has a major influence on reproducibility. The Testa Analytical liquid chromatography flowmeter has set a new standard for non-invasive measurement of flow rate in HPLC and GPC/SEC systems. Version 1.2 of the liquid chromatography
flowmeter allows users to now set the optimal integration time to suit different applications. For example - sampling data every 0.1 seconds is optimal for real-time monitoring of HPLC pump performance whereas sampling data every 10 seconds is best for absolute flow rate calibration. The new version of the liquid
chromatography flowmeter also offers the possibility for users to store on-board different calibration factors for different
58
solvents, along with saving a clear text name of the solvent in use. Furthermore, improved communications data buffering assures that no data is lost even if the device temporarily loses connection to your PC. Compact in size, and conveniently powered
via a USB connection, the TESTA Analytical liquid chromatography flowmeter uses a thermal flow sensor that is not only extremely accurate, sensitive and high-resolution – but it also offers the advantage of being non-invasive. As the sensor does not interfere with the measurement it can operate over a wide dynamic range, and has been demonstrated to be the perfect real-time flow monitoring tool for liquid chromatography applications including calibrating the flow rate of HPLC pumps, troubleshooting defective systems, and continuously validation for regulated products.
