NEW-CONSENS LDQ8 Retractable Insertion Electromagnetic Flowmeter DN200-DN2000 for Hot Tap Installation

NEW-CONSENS LDQ8 Retractable Insertion Electromagnetic Flowmeter – 2026 New Launch

New 2026 release: a retractable insertion electromagnetic flowmeter with a hot-tap ball valve, so large pipes can be metered without draining the line or stopping production.

Large transmission mains and cooling water headers are the hardest pipes to meter because nobody wants to cut them. The LDQ8 solves that with a retractable probe that is installed through a hot-tap ball valve while the line stays in service. The probe can be withdrawn, cleaned or recalibrated later without depressurising the pipeline, which turns a planned shutdown into a fifteen minute field job.

Why This New Launch Is Worth Switching To

• Hot-tap installation under full line pressure removes the need for a shutdown, drain-down or pipe cut on DN200 to DN2000 mains.
• Retractable probe can be pulled back through the valve for inspection and cleaning without breaking the seal.
• Insertion design costs a fraction of a full-bore magnetic meter at large diameters while keeping ±1.0% accuracy.
• One probe length covers a wide range of pipe sizes, which simplifies spare parts stock for multi-site operators.

Key Design Features

• Balanced probe head with four measuring electrodes averages the velocity profile and reduces swirl error downstream of bends.
• Integrated grounding electrode removes the need for separate grounding rings on most steel and ductile iron pipes.
• Backlit LCD shows flow rate, totaliser, velocity and diagnostic codes for empty pipe and low conductivity.
• Optional 2.5 MPa version for high pressure cooling water and process headers.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

• Municipal raw water and treated water transmission mains from DN600 to DN2000.
• Cooling water headers in steel, chemical and power plants where shutdown windows are short.
• Retrofit metering of existing large pipes with no spare straight length for a full-bore meter.
