Foxboro® Introduces New MagPLUS Magnetic Flowmeters
Designed for Easy Installation and High Reliability, New Flowmeters Meet Global Requirements for Water and Wastewater and Food and Beverage Applications
FOXBORO, Mass., May 9, 2016: New Foxboro® MagPLUS Magnetic Flowmeters from Schneider Electric provide easy-to-use, highly reliable, and flexible flow metering solutions for water and wastewater and food and beverage applications. With a wide range of flowtube sizes and an array of available transmitter configurations, the MagPLUS flowmeter offers precise, bi-directional metering of a range of fluids, from beverages and processed foods to potable water, industrial water, and wastewater.
With fit-and-forget reliability, Foxboro MagPLUS flowmeters feature robust, fully welded construction, a selection of global standard flanges and end-connections, rugged liners suited to all water and wastewater applications or hygienic sanitary design, and durable exteriors suited to underground installation and constant flooding (IP 68 rated enclosure). Thanks to an innovative virtual grounding feature, this flowmeter eliminates the need for grounding electrodes or rings to reduce installation complexity and cost, while increasing long-term process reliability.
MagPLUS magnetic flowmeters assure flexibility and cost-effectiveness in planning, procurement, and maintenance inventory because any flowtube can accept any of three interchangeable Foxboro magnetic transmitters: models IMT30A, IMT31A, or IMT33A, coupled with model 9500A or 9600A flowtubes. These transmitter options enable users to choose from a range of feature sets, metering accuracies, input/output options, and calibration/testing capabilities with integrated continuous diagnostics. A selection of three housing versions enables users to mount transmitters directly to the flowtube at 0° or 45° angles, or remotely in wall- or field-mount configurations. This configurability translates into minimal procurement and inventory costs and tremendous flexibility for meeting planned and unexpected application requirements.
Startup and commissioning the flowmeter is easy, since all transmitters share a common operating concept, feature displays in 14 operating languages (including Russian and simplified Chinese), and a Quick Start configuration menu.
MagPLUS magnetic flowmeters hold approvals for electrical and sanitary certifications as well as drinking water applications.
MagPLUS is available in a wide range of sizes, with large diameters for large-scale production plants. For help with selecting and sizing any Foxboro flowmeter product, consult the FlowExpertPro tool online at www.flowexpertpro.com.
