Coriolis flowmeter breaks industry’s flow-rate barrier US firm Fluid Components International (FCI) has developed a Coriolis mass flowmeter which, it claims, delivers more than twice the industry standard flow rate than previously available, setting a new benchmark compared with other Coriolis devices in its class. Using a ‘U-tube’ flow sensor, and designed for line sizes of 6-305 mm (0.25 inches to 12 inches, or DN 8 to DN 300), the Model CMU measures flow rates of 60-220 000 kg/hr (2.2 to 80 800 lb/hr). It provides true mass-flow measurement with superior accuracy, while at the same time measuring fluid temperature, density and volumetric flow – making it a truly multivariable process measurement tool that reduces the need for other sensors, says the company. The unit’s U-tube flow sensor features a lightweight tube, minimal welding and vibration dampening technology. This

design achieves higher long-term mechanical reliability and lower installation costs, compared with the typical, heavy die-cast elements found in ordinary Coriolis devices. It also eliminates the bulky and costly extra structural supports that are often required to mount and secure other metering devices. The CMU has an accuracy range of 0.1% to 0.15% in liquids, depending on the line size, and 0.5% in gases (+/- reading). With its high accuracy, excellent repeatability and multivariable parameter measurement capabilities, the CMU meets stringent industry requirements for applications in custody transfer, precision product line batching and test-stand performance measurement. In applications where density measurement and/or variable fluid densities are involved, the CMU is available with special

Goulds introduces Dry Guard bearings for magnetic-drive pumps The Dry Guard bearing system is now available on Goulds Pumps’ models 3296 EZMAG, ICM and 3298 series.

The Moyno 2000 pump handles mill wastewater efficiently and cost-effectively.

Moyno Inc, a US-based manufacturer and marketer of progressing cavity pumps and multiphase fluid-transfer systems, is offering the Moyno 2000 pump, which is designed to handle mill wastewater efficiently. Based on a progressing cavity design, the Moyno 2000 pump requires little maintenance and is built for a long service life, says the company. Its rugged construction and field-proven

performance record, allows it to meet process requirements. Specific advantages include a crowned gear universal joint assembly for superior torque and thrust control; shaft sleeve for easy maintenance; fibre deflector to prevent ragging; and good abrasion resistance. It operates at pressures to about 7 MPa (1000 psi) and flow rates up to 9500 l/min (2500 gpm).

or for greater accuracy, a five-point density calibration.

Dry Guard bearings, which feature a diamond-like coating, are designed to significantly reduce the coefficient of friction, enabling longer periods of safe operation under dry run conditions, says the company, which is based in Seneca Falls, New York, USA. “The most common mode of failure for Magnetic drive pumps is caused by dry running conditions,” said Ed Kupp, Product Manager, Sealless Pumps. “Dry Guard provides protection that can last for hours, enabling the operator to correct the problem

before a catastrophic failure occurs, which would otherwise result in process down time and possible safety and environmental concerns.” The 3296 EZMAG is an ANSI, metal magneticdrive process pump with a simple seal-less design. It is ideal for transferring difficult liquids, such as corrosives and pollutants. The ICM model is the ISO version of the 3296 EZMAG. Members of the 3298 series are lined, magnetic-drive pumps that are designed to handle moderate to severe corrosives economically. They feature a thick Tefzel lining and are available in framemounted, close-coupled, in-line and self-priming models.
