The PIT series insertion magnetic flowmeter is designed to measure the flow velocity of conductive liquids in large pipes. The insertion style design makes it a very cost effective versus large in-line magnetic flowmeters from the standpoint of initial cost as well as installation cost. This is because the insertion design requires only a single bore hole in the side of the pipe instead of the removal of an entire pipe section as is required to install the in-line type magnetic flowmeters. The PIT can also be provided with a hot-tap assembly which allows for insertion/extraction of the meter while the system is pressurized and operating. The mounting armature can be supplied in stainless steel, PFA or hastelloy. The electrodes are available in stainless steel, hastelloy, platinum, tantalum and other materials on request. The flow transmitter is supplied standard with HART® protocol. Profibus-PA is available as an option.
