AquaProbe 1 and 2 insertion electromagnetic flowmeters for clean water applications are said to offer an alternative to full-bore meters and a convenient way to perform surveys on existing lines and meters, says ABB Instrumentation. AquaProbe 1 is intended for permanent installations with available power. It connects with the ABB MagMaster transmitter and provides 4-20 mA analog output and HART communication operations. AquaProbe 2 is battery powered to serve temporary installations, but comes with such options as ac power with battery backup, data logger, and pressure transducer. Applications include checking, verifying, and certifying existing meters, and performing water loss surveys and studies on water distribution, pump efficiency, and trunk mains.
