Type 804 and Type 804 mini EM Insertion Flowmeter

Valeport Water's Type 804 and Type 804 mini are a fully waterproof, electromagnetic insertion flowmeter that offers industry-standard performance coupled with robust build quality and reliability, all backed up by Valeport Water’s exceptional customer service and support.

Valeport Water's Type 804 and Type 804 mini are a fully waterproof, electromagnetic insertion flowmeter that offers industry-standard performance coupled with robust build quality and reliability, all backed up by Valeport Water’s exceptional customer service and support.

Our Type 804 insertion flowmeters will measure bi-directional flow rates as low as 0.02m/s and up to 5 m/s with accuracies of better than 0.002m/s. Add a real-time temperature measurement we can help you manage your water distribution networks.

A highly cost-effective solution due to reliability, ease of installation and recovery, with no interruption to supply, for pipe diameters from 70mm (Type 804 mini) to 2000mm.

A standalone Type 804 can:

  • operate for over 4 years without need to change batteries, as standard
  • interface to loggers and SCADA systems through fully documented and open data protocols:
    – Pulse
    – RS232 | RS485 | Modbus RTU

Key Features:

  • High accuracy at low velocities
  • Bi-directional flow measurement
  • Low power | long battery life
    > 4 years (note 1)
  • Digital signal processing
  • Direct data output – open protocol
  • Internal self check: in accordance with OIML R49, type P
  • Integrated temperature
  • Pressure monitoring port (max 20bar)
  • 3-year warranty

note 1 – Depends on observation schedule and external battery modules

Operations:

  • Flow monitoring
    - night flow | meter testing
  • DMA & zoning surveys
  • Leak detection
  • Metering
    - reservoirs | treatment and pumping stations
  • Expert mode for data diagnostic
  • Hot tap installation with safety chain
  • Permanent installation
  • Temporary deployment
