Easy to install flowmeter

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.
