New baseplates ease installation and provide protection
flow meter for pumps
Hydra-Cell has launched a new range of small baseplates designed to fit its pump models and facilitate easy pump and motor installation, while providing rugged protection in harsh industrial applications.
SeaMetrics’ EM101 unit is designed to measure the pulsating and solenoid-driven metering pumps.
The EM
flows from air
101 IS a small plasticbodied electromagnetic flow meter from SeaMetrics Inc. Available in three sizes - l/4”, 318” and I/2” - the device is of measuring the capable pulsating flows from air and solenoid-driven metering pumps. It’s primarily designed for use conductive with electrically chemicals.
has a variety of outputs. For continuous transmission of flow signal there is a 4-20mA and a O-5 volt signal, plus a frequency signal proportional to flow. The product also comes with userset relay alarm output5 to protect against the dangers of particularly high or low flows. Application with diaphragm type pumps is also a possibility.
In addition to measuring flow rate and total flow, the unit also

Available for size 56 through 326 NEMA motor frames, the baseplates can be specified in vertical or horizontal configurations. Construction materials include powder coated steel or 303 grade stainless steel. Usually baseplates are reserved for use on large-scale skid mounted pump packages but the benefits they provide - such as portability, protection and ease-of-installation - are just as valid for smaller pumps as for larger models. Whether endusers will be prepared to pay for small baseplates is another

New Programmable Logic Controller The new AutoLog@ GSM-5 programmable logic controller (PLC) from Finland’s FF-Automation is designed to supervise and control remote pump applications via the European GSM network. The device is designed for long operating times and low power consumption, assert the manufacturers. The PLC allows measurement reports, status values and alarms to be sent from a particlular application back to a central database or control room. The end-user also has the ability to control, monitor, or even configure remote pump applications by sending instructions out via the internet, PC or a mobile phone, utilislng the GSM network. The GSM-5 can be operated with an accumulator or an alkali battery. Its lifecycle is expected to be In excess of a year. USE THE ENQUIRY SERVICE @ www.worldpumps.com RES No.205
