TFX Ultra provides clamp on provides reliable leakage detection
Bell Flow Systems were recently approached by a customer
looking for a reliable solution to remotely monitor a fire hydrant for flow
detection and leakage purposes.
The site, located remotely, required a clamp-on measurement
solution to provide flow measurement without breaking into the pipeline.
Information from the site also need to be available remotely, as well as
providing visual alarms to operators at the site office.
Bell Flow Systems supplied the TFX Ultra flow meter and
provided a local Modbus output to a third party telemetry system. Data From the
telemetry system will be stored onto a web portal providing a visual indication
of the current flow, total flow and diagnostic information from the flow meter.
Information on the data portal will also show visual alarms so the operators
can respond to leakage or flow events at the site office.
TFX Ultra has inherent advantages over traditional devices
including clamping onto the outside of pipes and not contacting the internal
liquid. Advantages of the TFX Ultra non-invasive flow meter include measurement
of a range of liquids with small amounts of suspended solids or aeration, a
bi-directional flow measurement and a wide variety of communications including
Modbus RTU over RS485 communications; Ethernet connection options includes
BACnet/IP, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP protocols.
Meters include a large easy-to-read digital display and a
rugged aluminium enclosure for use in harsh environments. For more information
on the cost-effective TFX Ultra transit time flow meter please contact Bell
Flow Systems.
