QUALITY INDUSTRIAL FLOWMETERS

COMPANY PROFILE

Trimec Industries is an Australian owned ISO9001:2008 quality certified company specializing in the design and manufacture of a proprietary range of positive displacement rotary piston, oval gear, insertion and impeller flow meters, ancillary flow hardware and dedicated electronic flow instrumentation. The meters measure the flow of clean liquids and are produced in a wide variety of materials and configurations to suit most markets including the food, chemical, cosmetic, ink, pharmaceutical, paint, petroleum and additive industries. Trimec Industries business has been built initially around its Multipulse series positive displacement meters which were introduced in 1987, thus setting a new standard for quality and reliability at competitive pricing. The oval gear flowmeter range was added in order to extend the flow rate capacities of the product, offering for both low flow & high flow rate applications. The Oval gear meters are approved by the Australian National Measurement Institute (NMI) as an instrument for resale purposes (custody transfer). Most Trimec products have ATEX and IECEx approvals for explosion proof areas. Trimec also manufacture a complete range of complimentary flow instruments including remote or integral mounted flow rate totalizers and batch controllers, these instruments have both ATEX & IECEx hazardous area approvals. The manufacturing facility is located close to Sydneys international airport. All design, assembly and calibration of the flow products is in house along with sales, administration and marketing supporting both domestic and international markets. The success of Trimec is attributed to the experience and knowledge acquired over a period of 40 years by its key personnel in the flow measurement industry. Trimec is committed to developing and expanding its range of proprietary flow products to meet the ever changing needs of industry.

TM Turbopulse mini & the larger TP Turbopulse turbine series measure flows of low viscosity liquids from 3 to 7,000,000 litres/hr in a range of sizes from " to 20 (6mm~500mm). The TM mini series have a tangential rotor with integral flow conditioning ports whilst the TP series have an axial rotor and flow guides, the TP series needs to be installed in straight sections of pipe either horizontal or vertical so that the flow is conditioned. The TP series have Exd & Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) approvals. Both meter series are robust, compact & take little space in the piping system. Applications include fuels, alcohols, solvents, insecticides, milk, chemicals, water & light hydraulic oils.

DUALPULSE PADDLE WHEEL FLOWMETERS

DUALPULSE insertion flowmeters


DP490 & DP525 are cost effective stainless steel flowmeters for measuring the flow of water, fuels & other low viscosity liquids in pipes sizes 1.5~100 (40~2500mm). Insertion flowmeters are installed with the metering head 1/8th into the pipe resulting in very little pressure drop. They do not require external power when used with the Trimec rate totalisers however some options such as high temperature & non-magnetic models require external power. Applications include HVAC, hot & chilled water, fire systems, water distribution (management & treatment), boiler feed water & hydrant flow testing.

APPLICATIONS AND LIQUID CHARACTERISTICS

VISCOUS LIQUID BEHAVIOR


The viscosity of a liquid is proportional to its resistance to shear. Of the three categories of viscosity (see opposite) Newtonians are most typical and include petroleum fluids, water & similar chemicals. Most empirical test data for flowmeters and pumps has been developed using Newtonian liquids. When working with Non-Newtonian liquids we use the expression effective viscosity in terms of the liquid after it has been pre-sheared by the pump and subsequent movement through the pipe , in these instances it is not unusual for the effective viscosity to be many times less than the theoretical viscosity thereby lessening the pressure drop across the meter.

PRESSURE DROP LIMITATIONS ON PD FLOWMETERS


Positive displacement flowmeters are an inexpensive means to accurately meter high viscosity clean liquids as high as 1 million centipoise however, the appropriate meter must be sized so that the pressure drop across the primary measuring elements (oscillating piston or oval rotor), does not exceed the maximum capability of either. The oscillating piston meter can withstand 4 bar differential making it more suitable to high viscosity liquids, the oval meter is limited to 1 bar differential due to the pressure imposed on the rotor shafts.

OVAL GEAR METER CHARACTERISTICS ACCURACY CURVES & PRESSURE DROP

PRESSURE DROP LIMIT VERSES FLOW RATE


The curves below represent the pressure drop for standard and special cut high viscosity oval rotors at various viscosities. Special cut rotors have alternate tooth relieve which effectively reduces the pressure drop by 50%. Viscosities are in centipoise and the pressure drop is in Bar (1 Bar = 14.7psig). When sizing an oval meter for viscous liquids be sure your selection falls on or below the 1 bar maximum allowable pressure drop line on the graph.

CALIBRATION PD & Turbine flowmeters


All Trimec positive displacement (PD) and turbine flowmeters are flow tested and each is supplied with an individual calibration certificate as shown. Calibration is traceable to the National Measurements Institute (NMI) Australia. Turbine flowmeters are calibrated over 5 points in keeping with applications on low viscosity liquids whilst PD flowmeters, due to their application on a wide range of liquid viscosities, are calibrated at one point, multipoint calibration for PD meters is available on request at an additional charge.
