Market: Transportation Equipment

Application Category: Inventory Management

GPI Flow Meters Used: G2S20N09GMB with 113275-1

Problem:

The expensive deicing mixture was being wasted causing expenses to increase. Monitoring usage by individual treatment was required. Accurate billing receipts were important.

Flow Meter Application:

Vendor delivers various chemicals to end-users in multiple markets. The meter is installed between the pump and hose reel to accurately measure and charge customers for the product delivered. Chemicals delivered range from detergents and deodorizers to caustics and acids. Accuracy of measurement was a critical requirement of this process.

Solution:

The GPI G2S20N09GMB meter and condition signal output module reading in gallons sent a pulse out to a ticket printer. This provided an accurate billing receipt by usage. All equipment was contained within the truck and protected from tampering or elements.

Advantages of Using GPI Flow Meters:

• Cost Savings
• Accuracy
• Payback

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.

Flow Meter Application:

At the end of the ozone chambers, there are instruments for measuring residual levels of ozone. These ozone analyzers require 1-5 GPM. The sample line runs to a closed waste line, in case there is a high level of ozone. Safety to technicians is a concern when working with ozone. Leaving valves wide open wastes too much water. Flowrate cannot be too low or too high and still expect accuracy in the analyzer reader. Rotameters had been used but failed due to turbidity levels and the float would stick.

Solution:

G Series Meters added to the individual lines send a signal (4-20 mA) back to the PLC. This signal at the PLC allows operators to monitor usage throughout the process.

Advantages of Using GPI Flow Meters:

• Cost Savings
• Safety
• Compact Size
• Accuracy
• Easy to Install
