Shengda’s High Pressure Electromagnetic Flow Meters in Canada
When it comes to reliable flow measurement in extreme environments, Shengda Water Meter Co., Ltd. is proud to offer cutting-edge solutions that stand the test of nature. Recently, our high pressure electromagnetic flow meters were installed by a Canadian client in a potable water pipeline system where winter temperatures can plummet to -20°C. This marked the first time our electromagnetic flow meter products were tested in such an ultra-low temperature application—and the results well.
Project Background
Canada’s vast northern regions face unique water management challenges, especially during long winters. To address the need for precise water flow measurement in such harsh environments, the client—a local utility engineering company—sought a solution capable of:
- Withstanding sub-zero conditions,
- Providing accurate flow data for potable water,
- Withstanding high operating pressures,
- Offering long-term stability and reliability.
After an in-depth technical review, the client selected Shengda’s high pressure electromagnetic flow meter series, with diameters ranging from DN200 to DN300.
Product Advantages in Cold Climates
Shengda’s magnetic flow meter line is specifically engineered to perform in challenging applications. The following features were essential in the project’s success:
- Rugged Sensor Housing: Ensures structural integrity under high pressure and thermal contraction.
- PTFE/PFA Liners: Maintain flexibility and chemical resistance in freezing conditions.
- Low Temperature Endurance: Components tested for -20°C performance margins.
The installed meters were customized with high-pressure flanges and insulation jackets to meet both mechanical and environmental demands.
Installation and Operation in -20°CThe meters were installed across several critical junctions of a rural water supply network. After commissioning, initial data showed accurate flow readings even during peak freezing hours. Despite ambient air temperatures dropping to -20°C, the electromagnetic flow meters operated normally without interruption.
Customer Feedback
After 3 months of winter operation, the client shared positive feedback:
“These magnetic flow meters surprised us. We were expecting issues with freezing or signal drift—but they performed with remarkable stability. We’ll definitely continue to work with Shengda for future installations.”
Planning for -40°C Protection
To further enhance system resilience, the client plans to add:
- Thermal insulation boxes,
- Deeper burial installations in exposed zones.
These proactive steps will support meter operation in projected -40°C events during peak winter.
Why Choose Shengda’s High Pressure Electromagnetic Flow Meter?
- Proven performance in real -20°C operating conditions,
- Pressure ratings up to 5.0 MPa,
- DN50 to DN300 wide range,
- Optional remote or compact display,
