Meter Equipment Mfg. P-72 Copolymer Flow Meters Provide Economical Metering of Chlorine and Caustics
MEM's P-72 Styrene Copolymer heavy bodied meters are specifically designed for demanding applications including chlorine, hot wet chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide, sodium hydroxide, high pH sodium hypochlorite, and brines. Previously limited to select OEM accounts, these flowmeters are now offered to the entire chlor-alkali market, along with wastewater treatment plants, chemical processors, and other users of harsh chemicals.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 28, 2005 -- MEM's P-72 Flowmeters provide a tough,
simple, and accurate flow metering solution for chlor-alkali fluid service.
These heavy bodied flowmeters are specifically designed for demanding
applications including chlorine brines, hot wet chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide,
sodium hydroxide, high pH sodium hypochlorite, and other chlor-alkali
applications. Previously custom manufactured for electrolytic cells in the
production of chlor-alkali and chlorate chemicals, an engineer in one division
of Occidental Chemical called them the "safety standard for chlor-alkali
service.”
These meters were also selected for the City of Akron's Water
Supply Plant for their Sedimentation Basins Rehabilitation Project. Fluids being
metered include chlorine and chlorine dioxide. MEM is the only company offering
flow meters in this special material, and Akron selected them because they
offered superior corrosion resistance to the chlorine solutions. Additionally,
MEM's meters cost less than the meters originally specified on the
job.
Depending on the service, wetted materials are all P-72 Copolymer or
P-72 with titanium, electroless nickel plated T310 stainless, and Teflon
internals for maximum corrosion resistance. Sight tubes may be glass,
polysulfone, or P-72 (again, depending on fluid service). For all P-72 meters,
an externally coupled magnetic flow indicator is used.
MEM's P-72 meters
are offered in a variety of flow ranges from 1 to 300 GPM Liquid, or 20 to 3500
SCFM Gas (100 psig, 70 degree F. air equivalent). Pressure-temperature ratings
are similar to CPVC. Flanged connections are standard, although NPT and socket
cement connections are offered as options. Like all standard MEM Products, P-72
flow meters can be disassembled without removing the body from the pipeline to
facilitate cleaning.
These thermoplastic flowmeters may also be supplied
with MEM's electronic accessories, including alarms, remote 4-20mA outputs, and
flow computers.
About Meter Equipment Mfg.
Meter Equipment
Manufacturing (MEM) manufactures industrial Flow Meters, Flow Switches, and Flow
Instrumentation. MEM flowmeters are tough simple, and accurate, and are suitable
for metering water, oils, coolants, compressed air and gases, vacuum, combustion
gases and atmospheres, steam, acids, and caustics.
In addition to
mechanical rate of flow measurement, MEM flow meters offer options for total and
grand totals, mass outputs, 4-20mA remote readouts, alarms and flow switches,
plus custom engineered flowmetering systems. MEM's most popular flowmeter models
are economically priced with quick deliveries.
MEM also offers
calibration services for a variety of flow instrumentation. The company can
calibrate liquid and gas models, with a typical calibration turn around time of
less than five working days. Your inquiries regarding any application are
invited.
