New from Spirax Sarco the RIM10
rotor insertion flowmeter for steam,
gas and liquids features rapid
installation in live pipework.

The RIM10 can be fitted directly
into operational pipework using
standard hot-tapping techniques,
eliminating the need to disrupt
production for installation. This
saves costs by keeping productivity
high and maintenance schedules
clear. Installation is said to be much
quicker than for conventional
flowmeters, which require a
complete shutdown for the cutting
and welding of pipework.

The hot tap configuration allows
installation when needed instead of
having to wait for planned plant
shutdowns, as well enabling the easy
withdrawal of the meter, should the
rotor need changing for maintenance
or re-ranging.
