Water meter monitor
The Orion Water Meter Monitor from Badger Meter is a remote receiver with display that allows consumers to monitor the use of water during two separate consumer-defined time intervals. For example, one interval could be the current month or billing cycle, the other might be one day in which a lawn is being watered.

Peristaltic metering injector
Blue-White’s Flexflo A-100NV Variable Speed Peristaltic Metering Injector is now offered with an optional Micro-Flow FVS (Flow Verification Sensor). With this option installed, the pump’s electronics will continuously monitor the Micro-Flow FVS to ensure chemical injection. If chemical should fail to inject, the pump will stop and an alarm relay will close allowing for remote alarm indication or initiation of a backup pump.

Magmeter
George Fischer has introduced the Signet 2551 Magmeter, an insertion style electro-magnetic flow sensor especially intended for conductive fluid applications that contain particles, solids and fibers. Designed with no moving parts to wear or foul, this new flow sensor virtually eliminates maintenance and its associated costs. Typical applications include flow monitoring in a wide range of industries such as water and waste treatment. It’s ideal as a replacement for paddlewheel sensors in dirty applications and fits into the same fittings as a retrofit.

Flow, level sensor
The Hach Sigma AV Flow and Level sensor is a robust sensor developed to withstand harsh environments typical of collection systems. The sensor provides strong, clean velocity signals across a wide range of flow situations. Large acoustic crystals provide strong echo signals and an improved pressure transducer provides better level performance. The shape of the probe minimizes flow disturbance.

Temperature, process controllers
Kaif Digital’s wMPC Series controllers offer up to seven zone controllers in a single wall mount package. The controllers accommodate a universal range of temperature and process inputs. Input type is individually configurable for each zone from the keypad. Thus, a single unit can accommodate multiple sensor types (temperature, pressure, velocity, flow, volume, etc.) at the same time. Scaling and offset of current and voltage signals is user-programmable.

Gas mass flowmeter
Kurz has introduced the Series 534FT In-Line Thermal Mass Flow Transmitters, which feature built-in inlet/outlet piping reducers/expanders and immunity to upstream/downstream flow disturbances caused by elbows, valves and line size changes. The design eliminates the need for field fabrication and assembly of inlet and outlet mating pipe sizes. Each model offers a choice of three line sizes to meet nearly all applications.

Stormwater metering
The patented First Flush Valve for Stormwater Metering, available from Red Valve, is designed to control the “first flush” of a rainstorm. The bottom portion of the FFV has a mouth type opening which permits low flow under normal conditions, as well as functioning as a clean-out port for accumulation on the bottom of the line. The second zone is designed as a holding area for the heavy “first flush” downpour, while the stormwater line serves as a storage tank.

Pressure transmitter
Bristol Babcock’s Series 2808 is a high performance pressure transmitter which features very low power consumption. It is compatible with many of today’s RTU devices, which can read voltage inputs as well as 4-20 mA current signals. Use of the 1-5 vDC output conserves power and allows the transmitter to operate using only 2 mA at a supply voltage as low as 6 vDC.
