12 sector applications

Where LibertyCES specs Flow Meter

Municipal Water

Strong evidence
GF Signet 2551 Magmeter

Water treatment explicitly named sector for flow sensing.

Municipal Wastewater

Strong evidence
Icon TK/TK3 Series · GF Signet

Water & Wastewater explicitly named sector.

Cooling Towers

Strong evidence
GF Signet Flow Sensor

Cooling tower explicitly listed application sector.

Mining

Strong evidence
Icon TI/TK Series

Mining & Mineral Processing explicitly named application.

Oil & Gas

Strong evidence
Badger Meter (upstream O&G/frac)

Upstream oil & gas and hydraulic fracturing explicitly named sectors.

Chemical Processing

Strong evidence
Icon TI/TK Series

Chemical Processing and Chemical Dosing explicitly named sectors.

Plating

Strong evidence
Icon TI/TK Series

Plating explicitly named application sector.

Pharmaceutical

Moderate evidence
Badger Meter (pharmaceutical manufacturing)

Pharmaceutical manufacturing explicitly listed sector.

Food & Beverage

Strong evidence
Badger Meter sanitary/food & beverage

Sanitary (food/beverage service) explicitly named sector.

Agriculture/Irrigation

Strong evidence
Badger Meter irrigation

Irrigation explicitly named sector.

Aquatics / Aquariums / Water Parks / Zoos / Swimming Pools

Moderate evidence
Icon TI Series insertion paddlewheel (PVC/PP/PVDF/316SS body, Zirconium Ceramic rotor pin/bearings, ETFE Tefzel paddle, 1/2"-24", ±0.5%) · Icon TK / TK3 in-line paddlewheel (TKB/TKS/TKP/TKM/TKW, 150 psi, 1-33 ft/s) · Icon UltraFlo 500 clamp-on (±2%, 1/2"-10")

Icon publishes a dedicated 'Aquatic Life Support' application page (one of nine), and its trademark tagline is 'Corrosion-Free Instrumentation Equipment' — suited to chlorinated/salt-water aquatic loops. Moderate: the aquatics page itself was not fetched, so the tie is at application-page level.

Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)

Moderate evidence
Icon TI Series insertion paddlewheel (Zirconium Ceramic rotor pin/bearings, ETFE Tefzel paddle) · Icon UltraFlo 1000 in-line ultrasonic (PFA Teflon, -40 to 248°F, 100 psi, no dead volume) · Icon ProPulse turbine (PVDF, Kalrez FFKM O-ring option, sapphire bearings, 0.010-4.280 GPM)

Icon publishes a dedicated 'Lithium Brine/DLE Processing' application page — a near-exact scope match. Moderate because that page was not fetched; the tie is at application-page level. The Kalrez FFKM O-ring option is the real escalation path when Viton is the limiting component in a high-chloride brine loop.

4 chemical compatibility records

Chemical compatibility

Oxidizers/Disinfectants

Strong evidence
Sodium Hypochlorite (12.5%)Sodium Permanganate (40%)
Materials: PVDF/PEEK (ultrasonic MS6) · PVC (2536 paddlewheel)
Blue-White MS6 (SONIC-PRO) · GF Signet 2536 paddlewheel sensor

MS6 factory pre-calibrated for 12.5% NaOCl; GF Signet 2536 independently confirms PVC-body paddlewheel rated for concentrated hypochlorite.

Acids

Moderate evidence
Hydrofluorosilicic Acid (25%)
Materials: PVDF/PEEK · Zirconium Ceramic (Icon TI/TK)
Blue-White MS6 · Icon Process Controls TI/TK/TK3

MS6 pre-calibrated chemical list includes hydrofluorosilicic acid; Icon markets 'Bulk Chemical' paddlewheel flow meters for acid service.

Caustics/Bases

Moderate evidence
Aqueous Ammonia (10%)Ammonium Hydroxide (30%)
Materials: PVDF/PEEK
Blue-White MS6

MS6 pre-calibration list includes both ammonia species.

Salts/Brines

Moderate evidence
Ferric Chloride (40%)Ammonium Sulfate (10%)
Materials: PVDF/PEEK
Blue-White MS6

Both salts included in MS6's factory-calibrated 7-chemical list.
