Home Our Equipment Water Flow Meters MSFM MCERTS Area Velocity Flow Meter
The MSFM MCERTS Area Velocity flow meter is a self-contained battery powered insertion multi-sensor flow meter and is certified to deliver guaranteed flow measurement accuracy for sites which require verification by MCERTS inspectors.
MCERTS is the UK’s Environment Agency scheme, providing a manufacturing quality standard for which monitoring equipment must meet. Read more about the scheme.
The Detectronic MSFM MCERTS flow meter, is a highly accurate ultrasonic area velocity MCERTS flow meter for open channel monitoring and part filled pipes.
A self-contained battery powered insertion multi-sensor flow meter, it is certified to deliver guaranteed flow measurement accuracy for sites which require verification by MCERTS inspectors.
Portable and easily installed, it can be used for short term or long term flow monitoring programmes. Suitable applications include:
The MSFM MCERTS is accredited by the Environment Agency and is the ideal monitoring system for any business, industry or water company that falls within the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR).
It enables companies to understand exactly what is happening with their agreed consented discharge at any given time. Any flow greater than 50 cubic metres per day must be monitored with MCERTS accredited technology according to the Environment Agency’s Self-Monitoring Certification Scheme.
Water companies can use it to precisely monitor Pump Station Emergency overflow. Wastewater treatment works can measure compliance with Pass forward flow (PFF) to full treatment and for final discharge. It can also be employed in clean water reservoirs.
Using the velocity, depth and temperature to determine the flow rate ensures a more accurate reading that doesn’t require weirs or flumes. It automatically adapts to changes in production and intense weather that can affect the flow rates.
The MCERTS MSFM is battery powered making it perfect for installations that have no mains power available, such as remote sites.
The Lithium Ion battery has a life expectancy of 5 years.
Detectronic’s dedicated data centre monitors your network and uses your data to detect blockages before they cause flooding and pollution.
