In the water industry,we have over 85 years of experience in metrology to draw on,and we have continuously set new standards in this technology. In 1961,our engineers developed the first electromagnetic flowmeter. Today,we are the global market leader for electromagnetic flowmeters, which we produce in our factories in the Netherlands,Brazil,China and India. Water is one of the world's key future markets.As a full-service supplier,we develop single-source engineering solutions that will meet future requirements. ► KROHNE proved WATERFLUX - High Q precision, /0 100 KROHNE F Throughout the history of our company,KROHNE development and i 1h1 application engineers have been continuously pushing the limits of � k feasibility in developing and testing new instruments.The results 4...� are innovations that go far beyond the statutory requirements,thereby setting new standards for the market. We continue this tradition with the WATERFLUX—an electromagnetic ` flowmeter for applications in the field of water and wastewater.As a result,WATERFLUX is designed for custody transfer according to European Directive MI-001.The measuring accuracy reflects the most recent specifications of the ISO/EN,MI-001 and OIML standards. It lies within legal requirements with a ratio of 400 between Q1 and Q3. The high operating frequency of 1 Hz to 1/20 Hz guarantees reliable measurement results with rapid inflow and outflow rates. Typical applications for the WATERFLUX: However,WATERFLUX also means"KROHNE proved":This covers specific trials,measurements and tests that go beyond the legal •Drinking water billing _ specifications—and on which our customers can rely 100 percent. •Billing of ground water consumption for irrigation systems — For example,we check the WATERFLUX electronics to a series •Distribution network monitoring _ of extensive temperature change tests,in which the converter is •Pipeline leakage detection systems exposed to cyclical fluctuations from-20°C to+60°C •Water measurement in wells — (-4°F to+140°F). and transfer chambers Not only do these test help maintain the guaranteed temperature coefficients,but they also make sure the instrument can be used under extremely harsh conditions.This minimizes failure in the field. \ — Every WATERFLUX meter that leaves our factory is first wet- calibrated on our officially certified calibration rigs(EN 17025). 3 ►innovative Construction \ i% ------- ---- ------- ---- ------- ---- 4 1 Unobstructed pipe cross section, individual adjustable measuring frequency The true quality of a water meter lies in its measuring section,which Another advantage is that you can customize the measuring determines whether the instrument can deliver precise,repeatable frequency specifically to your application,thus ensuring that the measurement results even in problematic applications such as measurement results are always accurate,even when the flows are suspended particles and solids in the water. changing quickly. The WATERFLUX measuring tube has a smooth,conical shape.This The lining of the measuring tube is made of Rilsan®and is resistant unique design,consisting of a rectangular cross section,optimized to corrosion,aging and abrasion.As a result,WATERFLUX is a stainless steel electrodes and a homogeneous magnetic field,forms food-grade flowmeter which complies with KTW,DVGW,WRc and the basis for a flow-optimizing pipe cross section,and thereby NSF as well as ACS and thus also approved for potable water. provides reliable measurements that are largely independent of the flow profile. The surface and shape of the measuring tube also minimize mineral deposits,resulting in exemplary measurement quality—even over a This has an obvious advantage:WATERFLUX can measure the flow long term. bidirectionally. 5 ►innovative Construction Less is more - Installation without inlets and outlets — By virtue of the fact that WATERFLUX does not affect Electromagnetic flowmeter the flow profile,it can also be used in applications with round cross section without inlets and outlets.Independent studies by the — Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt[PTBI in Berlin also confirm that the WATERFLUX with its flow — profile-optimizing cross section does not require — inlets and outlets,unlike measuring devices with 1.0 1.0 1.0 round cross sections:The increased flow rate results 0.8 0.8 in improved signal strength and thus an accurate 04 0.4 measurement even with low flow rates. 0.2 0. 10.2 And it does this with minimum consumption,an indispensable advantage,for example during nighttime operation.Errors in the flow profile are Uninterrupted Flow profile reduced by 80 /o.The pressure loss resulting from flow profile after a pipe bend necking is negligible(<0.01 bar/0.14 psi).

WATERFLUX minimizes this disadvantage.To guarantee the longest battery life-time possible,all of the components have been optimized to consume a minimum of power. Thanks to the rectangular cross section used in the WATERFLUX,the magnetic coils are relatively close together compared to round cross sections and thus require less energy to generate an adequately strong and homogenous magnetic field.A magnetic core with a small round coil has been used instead of saddle coils.This round coil has very short turns and therefore offers less ohmic resistance at the same magnetic force.

Thanks to its permanent maintenance-free operation, an above-average service life of 25 years and the special subsurface installation coating,the WATERFLUX can be installed directly in the ground for applications not subject to custody transfer—and all this without a measuring chamber. The precisely recorded measurement values and the meter reading can be conveniently read off aboveground on the battery operated converter. 12 w 4 • �10 t ' • •' ,f�' r *16 deliversGSM up-to-the-minute information WATERFLUX 3070 Anywhere in the world KGA 42 Bulk water meters are sometimes installed in extremely remote measuring points such as water chambers or difficult to reach transitional points. The ability to read the measured results on-site may be standard,but it does not always meet the current and actual needs of the user or operator. That is why WATERFLUX comes with an optional, state-of-the-art remote control system:a data logger and a GSM module. The stored data is transmitted remotely at a customizable frequency(e.g.once a day),by SMS or GPRS to the control system or to a cell phone. ►superior Performance Mobile network .......... ..........
