1.5 Interfacing 

 

1.5.1  Quadrina Insertion Meters 

Quadrina insertion meters are probes which are inserted, usually on a temporary basis, into 
mains supply pipes, and which measure the local velocity. 
 

1.5.1.1 

The Quadrina range 

Probes are supplied in two sizes: standard (Probeflo) and miniature (Miniprobe). Each is 
available for unidirectional or bi-directional flow. As two options are available for the insertion 
tube, there are eight hardware variants. Any variant may be fitted with the MEP or QEP 
electronic interface. 
 
The QEP interface requires no power from the logger and so is compatible with all PrimeLog 
instruments. Its pulse frequency is linear against velocity 
 
The MEP interface normally requires power from the logger. The PrimeLog submersible 
range requires an Auxiliary Battery Unit to be used. The MEP output pulse frequency is non-
linear. 
 
If the MEP interface has been specified to be powered internally, PrimeLogs can be 
interfaced directly without auxiliary batteries.  
 

1.5.1.2 

Volumetric flow measurement 

Volumetric flow must be calculated from the measurement of velocity at one point in this flow. 
It is common practice (which will be assumed here) for the measurement point to be set on 
the centreline of the pipe, and to assume that flow is symmetrical about this point. There is 
the additional complication that the probe forms an obstruction to the flow (blockage factor).  
 
Happily, these problems are minimised by the probe manufacturer, who supplies tables (F 
factors) which give the ratio of mean velocity to (measured) centreline velocity allowing for the 
blockage of the probe in common sizes of pipe. 
 

1.5.1.3 Probe 

calibration 

Each probe is supplied with a calibration certificate showing the number of pulses produced 
per metre of flow. (If this value seems peculiar, consider “...number of pulses produced per 
second for each metre per second of flow rate...” - the two figures are identical).  
 
Probes fitted with QEP interfaces have a single-point calibration. For the non-linear MEP 
interfaces, calibration figures are supplied for several different velocities. From these values a 
mean factor is also calculated, which is convenient to use but which does introduce some 
error. 
 

1.5.1.4 Logger 

Configuration 

When the option 

Quadrina Insertion Probe

 is selected from the PrimeWare flowmeter menu, 

the following information is required: 
 

Probeflo (default) or Miniprobe 
Unidirectional (default) or bi-directional 
Standard (0.5”) or oversize (0.75”) insertion tube 
Pipe diameter 
MEP or QEP electronic interface
