NIVUS Pipe Sensor for potable water Fully integrated data The NivuSonic transmitter fully integrates analog and digital outputs to SCADA, via 4-20mA, modBus or profibus as preferred, with local flash card storage too. Remote maintenance, data transfer and diagnostics available using NIVUS state of the art telemetry options.
The innovation behind the product
Does your EMF meter need replacing but you cannot shut down the flow? The NIVUS Pipe Sensor was designed specifically to provide highly accurate flow measurement for potable water mains. At NIVUS we understand the often prohibitive high cost and days of disruption replacing an existing Electro Magnetic Flow Meter can present. We offer a much greener, cost effective solution that works.
Fitted without need to shut down the flow delivers innovation in both technology and installation. The Pipe Sensor (insertion flow meter) is compact by design, with a one size sensor for full pipe applications from DN 200, designed and manufactured to deliver a low carbon footprint throughout the lifecycle cost. The standard push in Pipe Sensor designed for up to 16 bar, and the screw-in sensor for up to 80 bar. Developed to meet Health & Safety standards is our unique extraction tool designed for the
Quick & Easy installation Using a standard BSP fitting and ball valve, live tapping the pipe under pressure will see sensors installed and fully operational in hours not days. Using sensors set in a diagonal or V shape measurement path, the NIVUS ultrasonic transit time, or ‘time of flight’ measurement technique delivers accuracy comparable with the EMF. NIVUS provide a comprehensive DN range of robust stainless steel pipe sensor mounting systems that provide a high pressure seal around the entire pipe circumference.
Fitted live under pressure No interruption to water supply No turbidity issues Accuracy ±1 % Installed in under 3 hours Removable for easy servicing Robust Reliable
controlled removal of the Pipe Sensor for pipes under pressure. When cost and time savings are paramount as is accuracy of data, the Pipe Sensor is increasingly the preferred choice for the validation and/or replacement of Mag Meters.

Independent Evaluation Working closely with major Water Utilities for large scale deployment of our technology across the drinking water network has sparked significant interest in the wider adoption of the Pipe Sensor as a proven alternative to the Mag meter.
Highly accurate The NivuSonic measurement principle is based on detecting the transit time or ‘Time of Flight’ of ultrasonic signals between two sensors. Simply the transit time in the flow direction is shorter than it is against the flow. The calculated flow is indicated directly on the large LED display.
