Introduction
AquaProbe
FEA100/FEA200
flow sensor
The AquaProbe FEA100/FEA200 flow
sensor is designed for measurement of the
velocity of water. The flow sensor is
available in four standard lengths and can
be installed in any pipeline of internal
diameter from 200 mm (8 in.) to 8000 mm
(360 in.), through a small tapping.
The flow sensor is designed for use in
survey applications such as leakage
monitoring and network analysis and in
permanent locations where cost or space
limitations preclude the use of conventional
closed pipe meters.
This User Guide provides installation,
connection, security, start-up and basic
setup details for the flow sensor only. The
AquaProbe sensor is available for operation
with either a WaterMaster transmitter
(FET100) or an AquaMaster3 transmitter
(FET200).

Page 11: Use
AquaProbe FEA100 / FEA200 Electromagnetic flowmeter – insertion-type flow sensors 3 Mechanical Installation 3.2 Use An insertion probe is inserted into a flow-line through a small tapping and a valve fitted to the line. The tapping can be as small as one inch BSP or larger. Such a tapping is common on pipelines and, if one does not exist where it is required to make the installation, it is very inexpensive to fit one, online and under pressure, and there are many specialist companies that do this type of work. -

Page 29: Velocity Profiles Background
AquaProbe FEA100 / FEA200 Electromagnetic flowmeter Appendix A A.1 Velocity Profiles Background Fig. A.1 on page 27 is a vector diagram showing a fully developed turbulent profile of the flow within a pipe. Such diagrams illustrate the distribution of flow within the pipe. Known as the Flow Profile, it is highest in the centre falling to zero at either side on the pipe wall. - Page 30 AquaProbe FEA100 / FEA200 Electromagnetic flowmeter The Point of Mean Velocity is on the knee of the curve (the velocity at this point is changing rapidly with distance) so it is necessary to position the probe extremely accurately in order to measure the correct velocity.

Page 31: Testing The Flow Profile For Symmetry
AquaProbe FEA100 / FEA200 Electromagnetic flowmeter When the probe insertion position is determined, the effect of putting the probe into the pipe (see Section 3.3.2, page 11) must be calculated. The blockage or insertion effect is termed the Insertion Factor (Fi). This is a mathematical relationship and... -
Page 32: Dual Entry Point Method
For installations with very poor and asymmetric velocity profiles (for example as rejected in Section A.2.2, page 29) a full velocity profile provides an improved accuracy of reading. To facilitate this ABB have developed ScrewDriver software for the PC that calculates F and F for any measured velocity profile –... -
Page 33: Appendix B - Measuring The Internal Diameter
(performed on ABB's UKAS-approved and traceable flow rigs in the UK) compensates for small deviations in size. In the case of a probe, clearly it can't be tested in the pipe in which it is to be finally installed. It is therefore not possible to take account of the difference between the nominal or expected internal diameter of the pipe and its actual value. -
