Additional sizes and EPDM O-rings for greater flexibility and chemical compatibility

GF Piping Systems has expanded its full-bore, magnetic FlowtraMag® Meter product line to include two new pipe sizes in 1.5 in. and 3 in. This complements the existing 1 in., 2 in., and 4 in., to bring the total offering to five sizes under its new 2581 Model Number.  A simplified design has been incorporated along with EPDM seals for greater chemical compatibility and application versatility.

The flow meter’s PVC body with standard Titanium and optional Hastelloy® C electrodes is designed specifically for high accuracy flow measurement in short pipe runs.  High accuracy is achieved for these problematic runs with a modified sensor design that has shorter inlet and outlet pipe length requirements and certified factory calibration.  The Hastelloy® C electrode is ideal for expanding its chemical compatibility for other media not suited for Titanium.

All thermoplastic body construction provides superior corrosion resistance for long, maintenance-free service life. Available in PVC Schedule 80, the FlowtraMag is two to three times lighter in weight compared to traditional metal magmeters on the market. The unit also offers accuracy of ±1% of reading and repeatability of ±0.5%.

Streamlined monitoring and complete versatility is provided via the meter’s broad communications capabilities across multiple platforms. These include digital (S3L), Frequency, and analog 4 to 20 mA (passive or active).  Visual LED indicators make sensor status clear and easy to read. The 2581 can connect to union ends in sizes two-inch or less, and flanges for three and four-inch.

Users can configure and calibrate the 2581 to the parameters required for their system using the
GF Configuration Tool Bluetooth® App.  After customizing parameters for low flow cut-off, and span, the

4 to 20 mA output users can then monitor the 2581 on their Android or iOS device.

The new flow meter can be used in a wide range of applications and industries.  Applications include water treatment skids, batch processing, chemical processing and transport, fluid dispensing, water distribution, reverse osmosis, liquid delivery systems, clarified effluent, metal recovery and landfill leachate, and many more.

The 2581 features CE, UL, CUL Recognized Component and is RoHS compliant. It is manufactured under ISO 9001 for Quality, ISO 14001 for Environmental Management and OHSAS 18001 for Occupational Health and safety.  It also complies with Part 15 of FCC rules.
