Turbine Flow meters ensure fire boats correctly dispense foam to extinguish fires

Fire boats used by a city municipality use a pumping system to dispense foam as a fire retardant in extinguishing fires. AW-Lake Turbine Flow Meters ensure the correct amount of foam flows through the pumps so operators can maintain a 3% to 5% by volume of foam to water ratio.

An AW-Lake top-mounted electronics with RT-30 Local Flow Transmitter with Display accepts pulses per gallon from the Turbine Flow Meters and provides a 4-20ma output signal to the fire boat PLC to control the flow of foam…

FlowLabPro – Automatic Low Flow Meter Calibration Stand

The Litre Meter temperature-controlled volumetric low-flow calibration rig FlowLabPro delivers automatic calibration of flow meters and instrumentation within a flow range of 0.0006 to 200 l/hr to an accuracy of ±0.2% and a repeatability of ±0.05%.

Accuracy is much greater, and uncertainty is much lower than was previously achievable using volumetric calibration.

All the associated tanks, pumps, ultrasonic sensors, pressure gauges and temperature probes are housed in a compact and maneuverable temperature-controlled cabinet.

FlowLabPro for low flow determination on a range of fluids

Now commercially available from Litre Meter, the new volumetric low-flow calibration rig can measure any fluid type within reason and features a reverse flow testing facility…
