New battery powered water counter

KROHNE (Germany) introduces a new measuring instrument: The WATERFLUX 3070 is an electromagnetic water counter for standard applications in the water and wastewater industry. It has a very long battery life of 15 years, making it especially suitable for applications where no power connection is available. The counter also has the option of a GSM module for remote transmission of measurement data and status information.

The new WATERFLUX 3070 offers the user some unique benefits that comparable solutions lack: Thanks to extremely short inlets and outlets, the WATERFLUX can be installed in very narrow wells and chambers. The counter is highly accurate and being a magnetic-inductive meter, it is superior to mechanical water meters in terms of pressure loss and long-term stability.

The heart of the WATERFLUX is the measuring tube with a rectangular cross section, which offers several advantages: The coils are arranged so that a strong, homogeneous magnetic field is formed and the measurement is thus independent of flow profile. In addition, this allows for extremely short inlets and outlets. The optimized thickness of the metering eddy currents are minimized and allow for highly accurate measurement (± 0.2% ± 1.5 mm / s). The tube itself is high-pressure stable; it is made of cast aluminum with a coating of Rilsan®, which is approved for potable water.
