ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter is designed for accurate flow measurement of conductive liquids in full pipes. It offers a cost-effective alternative to full-bore magnetic flow meters, suitable for a wide range of applications including potable water, water distribution, and irrigation.
Specifications: The device measures flow rates from 0.031 m/s to 6.2 m/s with an accuracy of ±1.0% for higher flow rates and ±0.0061 m/s for lower rates. It operates within a liquid temperature range of -26°C to +121°C and can handle pressures up to 14 bar. The meter is suitable for pipe diameters from 76.2 mm to 1.8 m.
Installation: The ISM 5.0 can be installed in pressurized pipes without shutting down the system, thanks to its hot tap insertion design. It requires grounding for plastic pipes and can be installed using a standard or hot tap installation kit. The recommended installation involves positioning the sensor at specific distances from pipe disturbances to ensure accuracy.
Functionality: Utilizing Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction, the meter measures flow by detecting voltage changes as liquid velocity increases through a magnetic field. It features a dual-electrode sensor and continuous auto-zero function for high accuracy.
Technical Features: The meter includes selectable analog outputs, frequency outputs, and scalable pulse outputs. It is housed in an IP68-rated enclosure, ensuring durability in various environments. Optional features include bi-directional flow measurement and remote displays.
Applications: The ISM 5.0 is versatile, suitable for use in potable water systems, pumping stations, reclaimed water, and more. It is designed to be reliable and easy to install, with no onsite calibration required.

ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter-1

Insertion magnetic flow meter for accurate flow measurement in full pipes. The accurate, low-cost alternative to full-bore magnetic flow meters. Measures Flow of Conductive Liquids in a Wide Range of Pipe Sizes Accurate and Versatile The Greyline ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter senses flow using a low maintenance electromagnetic design with no moving parts. The dual-electrode sensor and continuous auto-zero function provide high accuracy – even at low flow rates. State-of-the-art electronics and patented design features help maintain its NIST traceable accuracy over time. Installs in Pressurized Pipes Without Shutting Down Flow The simplified hot tap insertion design allows for ISM 5.0 insertion and removal by hand, without a system shutdown. Simple, Low-Cost Installation How It works The ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter operates based on Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction: as flow I N F O @ P U L S A R M E A S U R E M E N T . C O M THE RIGHT METER FOR • Potable Water • Reclaimed Water • Water • Treated Water Distribution • Pumping • Irrigation Water Stations • Cooling Water • Filter Balancing • Raw Water & Backwash velocity of a liquid increases through the magnetic field generated by the sensor head of the ISM flow meter, electrodes measure the voltage increase to accurately calculate flow. Four electrodes measure the induced voltage on opposite sides of the sensor. The voltage readings are sampled and averaged. The ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter measures the flow of electrically conductive liquids (20 µS/cm or greater) in full pipes. For proper measurement

ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter-2

on plastic pipes, the electromagnetic flow meter requires electrical grounding by connection to grounding rings or ground probes inserted into the pipe. Readings are not affected by the fluid temperature, pressure, or viscosity. The ISM 5.0 Insertion Magmeter installs in the pipe through a full port ball valve so the sensor can be easily retracted without having to shut down the flow or drain the system. The insertion depth is adjustable according to the pipe diameter. An insertion depth gauge is supplied with each flowmeter. The optional Standard Installation Hardware Kit includes a branch outlet,...
