Company Type: Drinking Water Utility
Market: Water Supply
Application Category: Monitoring
GPI Flow Meters Used: G2P05N09GMA
Problem:
Opening the pipe to measure sample flow rate could expose technicians to toxic levels of ozone. Leaving valves wide open wastes large volumes of water. If the flowrate is to low or too high analyzer readings are not accurate.
Company Type: Medical Device Manufacturing
Market: Pharmaceuticals
Application Category: Batching
GPI Flow Meters Used: GNT-051 with GX500
Problem:
The manufacturing process required accurate measurement of two materials into a single batch. Two lines supply materials that are batched into a blend tank.
Batching Flow Meter Application
18 Mar 2009Company Type: Meat Packer
Market: Food
Application Category: Batching/Dispensing
GPI Flow Meters Used: G2S07N09GMA
Problem:
Portable cleaning solution carts need to be loaded with caustic and acidic cleaning agents. These agents vary in density and pH. Both batch and
continuous total are required when loading the carts with solutions.
Water Flow Meter Application
11 Mar 2009Company Type: Municipality
Market: Water Supply/Irrigation
Application Category: Monitoring
GPI Flow Meters Used: G2S10N09GMA
Problem:
Homeowners and businesses need to verify flowrate of water supply and accuracy of city equipment from main water line to individual properties. Other methods of verification can be inconvenient,time consuming and costly.
Company Type: Filling Machine Manufacturer
Market: Food, Beverage, Tobacco
Application Category: Batching
GPI Flow Meters Used: GSCPS-150; GSCPS-100
Problem:
Accurately measure fluid into containers at a reasonable cost while maintaining 3A sanitary requirements with a meter that can withstand repeated stop/start batching flows.
Cooling Tower Flow Monitoring Application
3 Mar 2009Company Type: Cooling Tower Manufacturer
Market: Fabrication Metal Products
Application Category: Monitoring
GPI Flow Meters Used: A109GMN100NA1 113265-1 Remote Kit
Problem:
Companies need to adjust flowrate to maintain a constant temperature of cooling water used for various processes. Unstable or fluctuating chill water temperatures can cause quality problems or possibly even damage to expensive equipment.
Company Type: Concrete Contractor/Equipment
Market: Stone/Clay/Cement
Application Category: Monitoring
GPI Flow Meters Used: 01N31GM and A109GMN100NA1
Problem:
Drivers need to add water on site to bring the mix to suitable slump rating. The amount of add water is very subjective and is not monitored. This results in variances in batches and quality of product.
