A smooth flow
The quality-conscious approach of Eight Industries makes it very choosy as regards its business partners. The company has been cautious to tie up with the best in the world to provide world-class products and services to its clients.
Eight Industries represents Isoil Impianti SpA of Milan/Bergamo, Italy, to offer fluid-handling solutions in the form of positive displacement flow meters. The Italian major manufactures rotary vane type positive displacement flow meters. These flow meters range from 40 mm up to 250 mm in size for flows from 50 litres per minute up to 15,700 litres per minute. The flow meters are made of aluminium, carbon steel and stainless steel materials with a single or double case and for horizontal or vertical mounting to meet specific needs of customers.
Continuous innovation and superior design features facilitate Isoil Impianti's PD meters a long life, enabling them to work at high accuracy and perform a wide range of functions. The PD meters can operate with either mechanical or electronic accessories, according to customers' needs.
They are widely used in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, CIS countries, Far East and the USA for applications in oil and chemical movement (custody transfer lines, loading and unloading from and to tanks, trucks, rail wagons and ships, and air craft refuelling, etc).
Moreover, master meters and calibration equipment are also available from Isoil Impianti. With the increasing modern-day needs, terminal automation systems, along with required software and hardware, are also supplied by the Italian major.
Eight Industries has tied up with another Italian major, Isoil Industria SpA of Milan/Montagnana, for electromagnetic flow meters. These flow meters, ranging from 3 mm up to 2,500 mm in size, come with various options like threaded ends, wafer style or flanged ends, insertion type sensors with lining in teflon, polypropylene, ebonite, etc. Working on Faraday's induction principle, the electromagnetic flow meter is nowadays the best solution for measuring the flow of liquids with a minimum of 5ms/cm electric conductivity. These flow meters are ideally suited because of their wide range of diameters, different types of materials in contact with fluid, absence of pressure drop, ease in installation, among other advantages, which track the flow of fluids with great accuracy. The electromagnetic flow meters are widely used in municipalities, power plants, desalination plants, chemical plants and other industries.
