Confirming Firefighting Power


We recently supplied electromagnetic flow meters to Amdac Carmichael, a UK based manufacturer producing a comprehensive range of firefighting vehicles.

Amdac Carmichael required a flow meter that could calibrate the volume of the water tanks and measure the flow rate of the pumps on-board their firefighting vehicles to confirm that they meet environmental and legal requirements. Badger Meter’s MID 6 M5000 is a user friendly, general purpose electromagnetic flow meter that delivers an accuracy of better than 0.5%. Built for field verification testing and conveniently powered by a battery, the MID 6 M5000 was chosen for Amdac Carmichael.

Amdac Carmichael fabricated a metal cradle for the MID 6 M5000 which when combined with the above average battery life allows the flow meter to be conveniently transported to where it is required. With excellent repeatability, the electromagnetic flow meters allow Amdac Carmichael to confirm both the volume of the water tanks and the flow rate of the pumps on their vehicles.

GWR200 Flow Sensor from APG

Image
Bell Flow Systems are pleased to introduce the new GWR200 flow sensor from APG, which promises to take the problems and frustration out of your level measurement. The Systems True Echo™ Communication Tool, which provides a Modbus-to-USB connection for communication with True Echo™ Software allows for advanced configuration and monitoring of multiple True Echo™ sensors. Specifications includes an auto calibration for easy setup with the True Echo™ software, a robust IP65 ingress protection housing, innovative signal processing and disturbance signal suppression and featuring a range up to 10 feet with SS rod, 80 feet with cable. Additionally, the sensors are unaffected by foam, vapours or dust. The Sensor NEMA 6 housing comes as standard, and its 316 SS or PFTE-coated 316 SS probes can operate in process temperatures from -40° to 203°C. Robust and reliable, the GWR200 sensor makes difficult level measurements easy. With a programmable 4-20 mA or RS-485 Modbus outputs, and innovativ

Introducing the New Wireless Rain Gauge

Image
Bell Flow Systems are pleased to introduce the ARG100 rain gauge into their range of environmental measurement products.  The ARG100 is a cost effective solution for precipitation measurement. The aerodynamic design ensure that the sensor does not interfere with the surrounding airflow ensuring that accurate measurement of precipitation is continuously achieved. The U.V resistant materials ensure robustness in the field to maintain a high level of measurement accuracy. In standard form the rain gauge is offered with a 0.20mm per tip pulse output, however additional options are available. Measurement of rainfall is achieved using a traditional “tipping bucket” mechanism which has been proven as a reliable industry and scientific standard for the measurement of precipitation for many years. Each tip of the bucket provides a contact closure of a reed switch to create an output from the rain gauge. The output from the ARG100 can easily be connected directly to our OM-CPPULSE101 f
