51. 'Far Out' Technology Simplifies Pipeline Leak Detection 1/25/2017

    Satellites provide the latest, perhaps most efficient, method for spotting underground leaks, ushering in a new era of non-revenue water management.

52. Selecting A Flow Measurement Technology 1/25/2017

    What’s the right flow measurement method for your operation? A leading independent lab breaks down the options and considerations.

53. Meters Monitor Flow And Provide Pump Protection 12/15/2016

    A Municipal Water Plant in the Southeast United States needed accurate flow measurement of potable water from individual pumps to the main distribution system. Read the full case study to learn how it was confirmed that the Siemens clamp-on meters provide reliable measurements from outside of the pipe, with reduced time and costs.

54. AMERICAN Pipe And Valves Ensure Georgia Project Flows With Ease 6/29/2016

    The estimated $30-million West Side Loop 48-inch Replacement Project is one of three capital projects being conducted by the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority to provide additional water to western Cobb County and Paulding County in Georgia. For the project, a 48-year-old, 36-inch pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) that recently failed is being replaced with 48-inch ductile iron pipe.

55. In-Situ Calibration: Methods And Pitfalls Of Thermal Mass Flow Meter Sensor Field Validation 5/1/2016

    Mid-to-large size facilities and campuses inevitably have hundreds of flow instruments to monitor, maintain, and repair. For a reliability engineer, ensuring that all instrumentation meets ISO 9000 or similar standards is a time-consuming responsibility. By Matthew J. Olin, President & CEO, Sierra Instruments, Inc.

56. Precise Biogas Flow Measurement 4/25/2016

    As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas. By Scott Rouse, VP Product Management, Sierra Instruments

57. Is Water 4.0 The Future? 4/21/2016

    Water 4.0 is a concept that has recently been raised as the “future” of the water industry …possibly. Apart from being a paraphrase of Industry 4.0, the questions have to be asked: What is it, and what does it have to do with the way the water industry operates in its current state?

58. Best Practices For Flow Meter Calibration 4/18/2016

    Get to know the basics, best practices, and importance of flow meter calibration from an industry expert.

59. Flow Monitoring, Pressure Management, And Healthy Water Systems 4/11/2016

    There are two practices that can help water utilities identify broken segments of their systems and reduce the nonrevenue water that results. Amidst the nation’s current infrastructure crisis, they are exercises worth considering.

60. Local Support Saves Time And Money 2/1/2016

    At a water treatment plant that provides drinking water for distribution to a large area of customers, a contractor decided to switch to SITRANS FM MAG 5100W flowmeters. A local representative saved a the contractor time and money by recognizing the need for the magmeter to be isolated from the piping protection before startup, which also saved the customer from added downtime.
