This product is discontinued for purchase, but still available for hire. If you wish to purchase an ATEX Flow meter the Laserflow EX
is available to purchase.The 2150EX ATEX-rated Area Velocity Flow Meter is built on digital electronics, so the analog level is digitized in the sensor itself. The probe is factory calibrated for a 3 meter span at different temperatures. This calibration eliminates drift in the level signal and provides long term level stability. This reduces recalibration frequency and completely eliminates span recalibration.
The 2150EX flow meter is powered by two lithium or rechargeable lead acid battery packs, or by the 2194EX network interface module. The battery has a life of up to 8 months at 2 minute data storage intervals due to highly efficient power management.
Standard Features of the 2150EX
Manufactured by: Teledyne ISCO
Model: ISCO 2150EX ATEX Area Velocity Meter (Available for Hire by the week)
Suitable for portable and permanent-site AV flow monitoring for inflow and infiltration, sewer overflow, and other sewer studies.
Measuring shallow flows in small pipes. The low flow profile Area Velocity sensor minimises flow stream obstruction senses velocity in flows down to 25 mm in depth.
Open channel flow measurement in Hazardous Locations (ATEX Category 1).
Suitable for level measurement in explosive or potentially explosive areas, such as digesters, manholes and storage tanks.
