New Foxboro MagPLUS Magnetic Flowmeters from Schneider Electric provide reliable and flexible flow metering solutions for water and wastewater and food and beverage applications, according to the company. With a wide range of flow tube sizes and available transmitter configurations, the MagPLUS flow meter offers bi-directional metering of fluids from beverages and processed foods to potable water, industrial water and wastewater.
Foxboro MagPLUS flow meters feature fully welded construction, a selection of global standard flanges and end-connections, rugged liners suited to water and wastewater applications or hygienic sanitary design and durable exteriors suited to underground installation and constant flooding (IP 68 rated enclosure). A virtual grounding feature eliminates the need for grounding electrodes or rings.
Any flow tube can accept any of three interchangeable Foxboro magnetic transmitters: models IMT30A, IMT31A, or IMT33A, coupled with model 9500A or 9600A flow tubes, according to the company. These transmitter options enable users to choose from a range of feature sets, metering accuracies, input/output options and calibration/testing capabilities with integrated continuous diagnostics. A selection of three housing versions enables users to mount transmitters directly to the flow tube at 0° or 45° angles, or remotely in wall- or field-mount configurations.
All transmitters share a common operating concept, feature displays in 14 operating languages (including Russian and simplified Chinese) and a Quick Start configuration menu. MagPLUS magnetic flow meters reportedly hold approvals for electrical and sanitary certifications as well as drinking water applications. MagPLUS is available in a range of sizes with large diameters for large-scale production plants.
