Selecting From This Catalogue

Selecting From a Table Alone Carries Avoidable Risk.

The medium, the pipe or vessel geometry, the process conditions and what the signal will be used for all narrow the choice. A short conversation removes most of the risk of ordering the wrong instrument.

An instrument that is correctly specified and badly installed reports the wrong number with complete confidence.

No Prices Published

Each project is priced from supplier costs current at the date of quotation. A printed price would be wrong before it was read.

Specifications Confirmed

Where a figure governs a design decision, it is confirmed against the current APURE datasheet before it enters a quotation or specification.

Installed Measurement

Instruments are supplied as part of an installed and commissioned measurement, verified point to point against a reference.

Maintained After Handover

Calibration verification, sensor servicing, loop integrity checks and a configuration audit at an interval set by duty.

1 · Flow Measurement

Electromagnetic flow meters measure the flow rate of conductive fluids and waste water. The measurement is independent of density, viscosity, temperature and pressure. Fluid conductivity must be greater than 5 µS/cm.

Cross-section of a magnetic flow meter The measuring tube with its insulating liner, field coils above and below, and two electrodes set in the bore wall. Conductive liquid moving through the magnetic field induces a voltage across the electrodes, proportional to velocity. v electrode electrode 24.6 m³/h 4-20 mA RS485 Modbus RTU DN10 to DN2000 · 0.5% FS over 0.3 to 10 m/s PTFE liner SS304 measuring tube E ∝ B · D · v induced voltage ∝ velocity
Field coil Electrode Insulating liner Conductive medium
The coils generate the field. The medium moving through it induces a voltage the electrodes pick up. CONDUCTIVITY > 5 µS/cm

Applications: sludge and water treatment · civil and industrial waste control · industrial process water · chemical dosing control · energy generation and distribution · quarries and mining.

Installation governs accuracy. The meter is mounted at the low point of the run with the tube full, five diameters of straight pipe upstream and three downstream, and on the discharge side of a pump. Tungatech confirms the installation position on site before the meter is ordered.

Ultrasonic flow meters use acoustic vibration to measure flow without penetrating the pipe. Clamp-on transducers suit retrofit metering where the line cannot be broken. Doppler and open channel units suit drainage networks, channels and partially full pipes.

Clamp-on measurement requires a single, uniform, stable liquid with turbidity below 20 000 ppm and low bubble content, on a dense pipe of known material and wall thickness. Transducer placement is 10 diameters upstream, 5 downstream, and 30 diameters clear of a pump discharge.

Vortex flow meters apply the Karman vortex principle to measure gas, steam and liquid flow. They suit clean process lines where a magnetic meter cannot be used because the medium does not conduct.

2 · Level Measurement

Ultrasonic level transmitters measure the time of flight of an acoustic pulse to the liquid surface. No part of the instrument touches the medium, which suits sewage, chemicals and abrasive slurries. All three models carry built-in temperature compensation.

The AC3200E is a split unit and accepts two sensors, so it reports level difference across a screen or filter directly, and the calculation does not have to be done in the control system. The blind area sets the minimum distance between the transducer face and the highest liquid level. A tank filled above the blind area reports a false reading, so the mounting height is fixed at design stage rather than on site.

Radar level transmitters are unaffected by temperature, dust, steam or vapour, which makes them the choice where ultrasonic measurement fails. The 80 GHz FMCW radar gives a narrow beam angle, so the signal clears internal obstructions that would defeat a wider beam.

Cross-section of an 80 GHz radar level transmitter on a vessel A radar transmitter on a top flange emits a 3 degree beam to the liquid surface. The narrow beam clears an internal obstruction that a wider beam would strike.

Magnetic flap level gauges work on the communicating vessels principle. The level in the measuring chamber follows the level in the tank, and a magnetic float rotates coloured flags on the indicator rail. Local indication needs no power, and a transmitter or switch can be added where a remote signal is required.

A float level switch starts and stops a pump as the water level changes. It is the cheapest reliable level control on a sump, borehole storage tank or reservoir where a continuous measurement is not needed, and it is commonly fitted alongside a continuous transmitter as an independent high or low level trip.

A float switch wired as the only level control leaves the pump unprotected when the float fouls or the cable tangles. Tungatech specifies the switch as an independent trip behind a continuous measurement wherever the pump is unattended.

3 · Pressure Measurement

Pressure transmitters convert process pressure to a 4-20 mA, voltage or digital signal. All models use a 316L stainless steel isolation diaphragm, and are selected on pressure range, medium temperature and the area classification of the installation.

A Bourdon tube gauge on copper alloy internals fails quickly on media that attack copper. Where the medium is aggressive, the YTP diaphragm gauge isolates the movement from the process. Tungatech checks medium compatibility against the wetted material before a gauge is ordered.

4 · Temperature Measurement

Temperature transmitters convert a platinum resistance signal to a standard current or digital output. The sensing element is Pt100 or Pt1000. Selection turns on the area classification, whether local display is needed, and the insertion depth the process allows.

5 · Water Quality

An online controller takes the sensor signal, displays the measured parameter, drives relay alarms at high and low set points, and outputs 4-20 mA or RS485 Modbus to a PLC, SCADA or telemetry system. One controller family covers every parameter below, which keeps the spares holding and the operator training to a single interface.

Digital sensors hold calibration data in the sensor head and output RS485 Modbus directly, so a sensor can be swapped without recalibrating the controller and cable runs can be extended without signal loss. Where a plant runs more than three or four parameters, the digital range removes most of the wiring and the recalibration work.

On any fouling duty, the cleaning arrangement decides whether the measurement is still true three months after commissioning. A sensor without a cleaning brush or flow cell on wastewater drifts, the operator stops trusting the reading, and the installation stops being used. Tungatech specifies the cleaning arrangement at the same time as the sensor.

6 · Energy and Gas Metering

Billing and revenue metering for electricity and gas, manufactured by VeryCo. Tungatech supplies, installs, commissions and maintains the meter, the communication path and the head-end integration. This is a supply relationship. Tungatech makes no claim to exclusive distribution rights for any manufacturer.

A high precision three phase CT/VT or CT connection smart meter with modular design, used in power plants, high voltage substations, distribution substations, exchange points on transmission lines, commercial entities and industry.

The communication protocol is DLMS/COSEM compliant and certified by the DLMS User Association. The meter works with the corresponding current transformer, voltage transformer and low or high voltage circuit breaker with shunt release and motor operating mechanism, and carries flexible communication ports for remote management and reading.

A revenue meter is only as accurate as the current transformer feeding it. Tungatech specifies the CT class and burden against the meter class and the actual secondary loop, and verifies the installed ratio and phasing at commissioning before the point is accepted for billing. Specification reproduced from the VeryCo VC3100CT datasheet dated October 2024.

A split meter separates the metering and switching body from the customer interface. The meter body sits in the supply position, outside the tenant's reach, and the keypad or display unit sits inside the premises. The customer buys credit and reads consumption without access to the metering element, which removes the most common route to tampering and to disputed readings.

Arrangement of a split prepayment meter The metering and switching body sits in a lockable enclosure at the supply position outside the premises. The customer keypad and display sit inside. A single link carries credit and status between them. boundary SUPPLY SIDE · OUTSIDE THE PREMISES METER RELAY CT terminals sealed, lockable enclosure supply in link TENANT SIDE · INSIDE 12.480 kWh REMAINING keypad and display only load

Separating the meter body from the interface removes the most common route to tampering and to disputed readings. PREPAYMENT OR CREDIT

Where it applies: residential estates and flats · landlord and tenant submetering · student and staff accommodation · shopping centres and market stalls · site offices and temporary supplies · any point where consumption must be recovered from an occupant rather than absorbed.

What Tungatech delivers with a split metering installation
StageScope
SurveySupply arrangement, phase configuration, load per point, position of the meter body and of the customer interface, and the communication path available at each position
SelectionSingle or three phase, direct connected or CT operated, prepayment or credit, and the communication medium against what the site can actually carry
InstallationEnclosure, tails and terminations, protective device coordination, earthing, and the link between meter body and interface unit
CommissioningRatio and phasing verified, registers checked against a reference load, token and credit path proven end to end, tamper and disconnect functions tested
HandoverMeter schedule with serial numbers, tag names and positions; the vending or head-end account; and operator training on credit, disconnect and fault response
MaintenanceRegister verification against the reference, communication path checks, battery and seal inspection, and consumption review against the commissioned baseline

Model designations, current ratings, prepayment standard and communication options are confirmed against the current VeryCo datasheet at enquiry stage, because the range differs by phase configuration, connection type and the vending system in use. Send the supply arrangement and the number of points and Tungatech will return a specified schedule.

Gas billing meters measure the volume drawn at each supply point and report it to the vending or billing system. Where gas is bought in bulk and consumed by multiple occupants, the meter is what converts an unrecoverable overhead into a recoverable charge, and it is what settles a dispute over what a tenant actually used.

Where it applies: restaurants, hotels and commercial kitchens · residential estates and flats on reticulated supply · industrial process gas · laundries and boiler houses · any bulk supply serving more than one paying occupant.

What Tungatech delivers with a gas metering installation
StageScope
SurveyGas type and supply pressure, flow range at each point, pipe size and material, meter position, and the ventilation and access conditions at that position
SelectionMeter size against the actual flow range rather than the pipe size, prepayment or credit, valve and disconnect requirement, and the communication medium
InstallationMechanical installation and pipework connection by the appropriate trade, meter mounting, sealing and the electrical connection where the meter is powered or communicating
CommissioningTightness verified before the meter is put into service, register checked against a known draw, and the credit and valve path proven end to end
HandoverMeter schedule with serial numbers and positions, the vending or head-end account, and operator training on credit, valve state and fault response
MaintenanceRegister verification, valve operation check, seal and battery inspection, and consumption review against the commissioned baseline

Safety. Work on a live gas installation is carried out under a written procedure covering isolation, purging, tightness testing and re-commissioning, by the trade qualified for that work. The proposal states the isolation required, the supply affected and the outage window, and the meter is put into service once the installation has passed a tightness test.

Model designations, flow ranges, connection sizes and prepayment standard are confirmed against the current VeryCo datasheet at enquiry stage. Send the gas type, the supply pressure and the flow range at each point and Tungatech will return a specified schedule.

A meter that nobody reads recovers nothing. Tungatech designs the submetering strategy, the communication path and the reporting layer at the same time as the meter schedule, so the consumption data arrives somewhere a person acts on it.

  • Submetering strategy: which points are metered, at what level, and what question each meter answers
  • Communication path selection against what the site carries, from RS485 through to cellular
  • Integration into the building management system, SCADA or a reporting dashboard
  • Vending and prepayment account setup, with operator training on issuing credit and handling disputes
  • Consumption profiling, anomaly identification and tenant recovery reporting
  • Reconciliation of submetered consumption against the incoming bulk supply, so unaccounted losses are visible

Reconciliation is the part most installations skip. The sum of the submeters should track the bulk meter within a known margin. Where it does not, the gap is either a metering fault or an unmetered connection, and both are worth finding.

Sections 6 and 7

Supply Alone Does Not Produce a Measurement.

A commissioned instrument reports a true value on the day it is signed off. Electrodes foul, optical windows film over, diaphragms season, and reference junctions age. The reading continues to look plausible while it drifts, which is the reason drift goes unnoticed until a decision is made on a wrong number.

Where a measurement supports a savings claim, a billing calculation or a regulatory return, the calibration record is the evidence that the number can be defended.

Survey Before Order

Mounting position, straight lengths available, process connection, medium and operating range, confirmed before the instrument is ordered.

Install and Configure

Mechanical mounting, process connection, containment, termination and earthing. Range and span, engineering units, damping, alarm set points and output scaling.

Loop Check and Functional Test

Point-to-point verification from sensor to receiving system, with the measured value confirmed against a reference before the point is accepted. Alarm and relay operation verified at the set points.

Document and Hand Over

As-built drawings, point schedule with tag names and engineering units, commissioning test record, configuration as left, and operator training. No temporary override, no disabled interlock, no undocumented configuration.

Maintain Against a Baseline

Calibration verification recorded as found and as left, sensor servicing, loop integrity checks, configuration audit and trend review against the commissioned baseline. Intervals set by duty, revised against the first year of service records.

Section 8 · How to Enquire

What Tungatech Needs to Quote.

A quotation is built from the application. The following removes almost all of the back and forth, and most of the risk of the wrong instrument arriving on site.

Information required
ItemDetail needed
The mediumWhat is being measured, its composition, temperature, pressure and whether it is corrosive, abrasive, fouling or crystallising
The rangeNormal operating range and the maximum the instrument must survive
The installationPipe size and material, or vessel dimensions and internal obstructions. Available straight lengths. Mounting position
The accuracy neededWhat the reading is used for. A trend indication and a billing measurement carry different costs
The outputWhere the signal goes: local display, PLC, SCADA, telemetry or chart record. 4-20 mA, RS485 Modbus, HART or pulse
The environmentIndoor or outdoor, ambient temperature range, washdown, and whether the area is classified as hazardous
The power availableSupply voltage at the instrument position, and whether it is reliable
