GPI Flowmeter Applications & Uses

Compact Turbine Flowmeter to Test Water Flowrate from City Main to Individual Homes or Business

2012-09-04T20:46:44Z

Company: Municipality

GPI Model Number: G2S10N09GMA

Market: Water Supply/Irrigation

Category: Monitoring

Application:

Use this compact meter to verify/test the water flowrate from the city main to individual homes or businesses. Use the GPI meter in the test assembly (shown below) to perform two tests.

Install the G2 meter on the supply line of the city main to verify flowrate to the residence.

Open valve and check flowrate.
Install the residential meter on the downstream of the testing assembly to verify proper functioning of residential meter.

These two tests allow troubleshooting to be done on-site, saving labor time and money. Field crews are able to isolate water main problems and identify residential meter malfunctions.

Oval Gear Flowmeters for Fuel Net Use - Application

Application:

Determining fuel used for generating power on work boats reduces the amount of taxes owed. Additionally, accurate data about motor performance can pinpoint efficiency problems resulting in fuel savings. When fuel prices soar this cost savings increases, creating a demand for an accurate system to determine "net use." The GPI GM005 meter combined with the GX500 provides a "green" solution for reducing fuel used in work boats.

Water Monitoring Application with PVC Turbine Flowmeter

2012-05-14T16:00:35Z

Application:

The Department of Natural Resources requires a permit for anyone using well water. To obtain a permit, you must report the total volume of water on an annual basis. The line from our pump to the storage tank measured four inches so some suppliers could not meet the spec. Finding a meter to fit this application had been too expensive until we found the GPI Meter. The other meters we looked at were also difficult to install.

Monitoring Chemical Mixing Flowmeter Application

Application:

Measure the Kerosene Dilutant (KD) pumped into the earth to breakdown the gravity composition of crude oil. This process helps extract crude oil from oil wells for processing. Monitoring the amount of KD pumped, results in accurate cost for each oil well. After installing the GM002 with Standard Display, the user realized a cost savings and had an accurate count of KD used.
