The new Signet 2552 magmeter can be used for hot-tapping into pipes with pressures of up to 300 psi

Without moving parts to wear, the unit accurately measures flow in fluids containing a high content of particles, solids and fibers, making it an excellent choice for applications with dirty fluids. Its design permits hot-tap access to the pipe stream, allowing quick and easy installation without system shutdown, significantly reducing overall costs. Outstanding performance characteristics include a wide dynamic flow range of 0.15 to 33 ft/s (0.05 to 10 m/s) with repeatability of ±0.5% of reading at 25°C, and linearity of ±1% reading.
In Brazil, SABESP is launching the first water-related public-private partnership (PPP) in the country. Its aim is to double the capacity of the Alto Tiete water treatment plant. Total value of the project is $170 million with five additional PPP’s soon to follow. SABESP invests approximately $500 million per year in capital investments.
“Because GF Piping has such an extensive line of Signet insertion flow sensors, they will be a strong partner with the expected expansions throughout all of Latin America,” said Hans Moesl, GF Piping general manager in Brazil.
