Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GLOBAL WATER from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum depth rating for the Global Water FP211 flow meter?
The Global Water FP211 digital flow meter has a maximum depth rating of 14 feet. This allows it to be used in a variety of open channels and pipes where water depth does not exceed this limit. The meter measures flow velocities from 0.3 to 19.9 feet per second with a resolution of 0.1 fps. Its PVC body provides durability in field conditions. For applications requiring a shallower depth rating, the FP311 model is rated to 5.5 feet, and the FP111 is rated to 6 feet. These meters are suitable for spot checks and continuous monitoring in stormwater, wastewater, and environmental studies.
How does the Global Water WS700R refrigerated sampler differ from the WS700?
The Global Water WS700R is a refrigerated wastewater sampler, while the WS700 is a single-bottle sampler without refrigeration. Both deliver a flow rate of 1000 mL/min at a 4-foot head and have a maximum sample capacity of 2 liters. The WS700R includes refrigeration to preserve sample integrity over extended collection periods, which is critical for certain regulatory compliance tests. The WS700 uses a polyethylene sample bottle and PVC construction, making it suitable for general stormwater and wastewater sampling. The WS750 is a dual-bottle version for applications requiring duplicate or sequential samples. Selection depends on the specific sampling protocol and preservation requirements.
What are the measurement increments and maximum depth of the Global Water WL650 sonic water level meter?
The Global Water WL650 sonic water level meter measures depth to water with 1/8-foot increments and has a maximum depth range of 1,200 feet. It uses the Imperial system of measurement. This instrument is designed for measuring water levels in wells, boreholes, and other deep access points where traditional methods may be impractical. The sonic technology allows for non-contact measurement, reducing contamination risks and wear on components. It is commonly used in groundwater monitoring, well development, and environmental site assessments. The WL650 is part of Global Water's line of water level testers, which also includes other models for different depth ranges and measurement units.
What is the maximum lift for the Global Water WS750 dual bottle sampler?
The Global Water WS750 dual bottle water sampler has a maximum lift of 20 feet. This means it can draw samples from a depth of up to 20 feet below the sampler's position. It delivers a flow rate of 1000 mL/min at a 4-foot head and has a maximum sample volume of 2 liters per bottle. The sampler is constructed with PVC and polyethylene, ensuring chemical resistance and durability. The dual-bottle configuration allows for the collection of two separate samples in a single deployment, which is useful for quality control or when different preservation methods are required. It is suitable for stormwater and wastewater sampling applications.
What types of applications are Global Water flow meters suitable for?
Global Water flow meters, such as the FP111, FP211, and FP311, are suitable for measuring water velocity in open channels, pipes, and environmental monitoring scenarios. They are commonly used in stormwater management, wastewater treatment, and natural resource studies. The meters measure velocities from 0.3 to 19.9 fps with 0.1 fps resolution, and their PVC bodies provide resistance to corrosion and impact. The FP211 has a maximum depth rating of 14 feet, the FP111 is rated to 6 feet, and the FP311 to 5.5 feet. These instruments are designed for field use, offering portability and ease of operation. They can be used for spot checks, continuous monitoring, and compliance testing.
What materials are used in the construction of Global Water wastewater samplers?
Global Water wastewater samplers, including the WS700, WS700R, and WS750, are constructed with PVC and polyethylene. The sample bottles are made of polyethylene, which is chemically resistant and suitable for a wide range of wastewater and stormwater samples. The PVC components provide structural durability and resistance to corrosion. These materials are chosen for their compatibility with common environmental contaminants and their ability to withstand field conditions. The samplers are designed for automated liquid sampling, with flow rates of 1000 mL/min at a 4-foot head and sample capacities up to 2 liters. The refrigerated model, WS700R, includes additional components for temperature control.
