The BMETERS TAN-X5 is a robust bulk irrigation water meter designed for agricultural irrigation systems, large-scale water distribution and high-flow water measurement. Available in DN50 to DN200, the TAN-X5 combines Class A metrological performance, antimagnetic protection and optional Pulse, wired M-Bus, wireless M-Bus and LoRaWAN communication for remote meter reading.
High-capacity bulk water metering for agricultural irrigation, water distribution and remote monitoring applications.
The BMETERS TAN-X5 range is designed for measuring large volumes of cold water in irrigation and bulk water distribution applications. With seven nominal pipe sizes from DN50 to DN200, the range provides a practical metering solution for installations with varying flow requirements.
Designed for irrigation water measurement, the TAN-X5 features Class A metrological classification and is suitable for water temperatures up to 50°C. The range offers nominal flow rates from 35 m³/h through to 450 m³/h, depending on the selected meter size.
Antimagnetic protection is included as standard, while optional electronic communication outputs allow the meter to be incorporated into automated meter-reading and remote monitoring systems.
Agricultural irrigation systems often require meters capable of measuring substantially higher water volumes than conventional domestic or small commercial installations. The TAN-X5 range is intended for these larger water supplies, with nominal flow capacities extending up to 450 m³/h.
The range is suitable for applications such as agricultural irrigation distribution, farm water supplies, irrigation pumping installations and bulk water monitoring, subject to the installation's operating conditions and water quality.
The TAN-X5 is available in seven nominal diameters. The following table summarises the manufacturer's published nominal flow rates, overall lengths and maximum operating water temperature.
| Size | Qn (m³/h) | Length (mm) | Max. Temp. |
|---|---|---|---|
| DN50 | 35 | 200 | 50°C |
| DN65 | 50 | 200 | 50°C |
| DN80 | 75 | 225 | 50°C |
| DN100 | 125 | 250 | 50°C |
| DN125 | 175 | 250 | 50°C |
| DN150 | 250 | 300 | 50°C |
| DN200 | 450 | 350 | 50°C |
Qn denotes nominal flow rate. DN denotes nominal diameter. Meter selection should take account of actual flow conditions and installation requirements.
Every TAN-X5 meter includes antimagnetic protection as part of the standard meter specification. This provides additional protection against external magnetic interference and is included without requiring a separate upgrade.
The TAN-X5 range can be supplied with optional electronic communication outputs, allowing water consumption readings to be integrated into compatible monitoring, data collection and automatic meter-reading systems.
Select the required output option on the individual product page. Meters are also available without an additional electronic output.
The TAN-X5 provides a dedicated solution for bulk irrigation water measurement, combining seven available pipe sizes, nominal flow capacities up to 450 m³/h, standard antimagnetic protection and four optional remote-reading technologies. Its range of sizes and communication options makes it suitable for both conventional irrigation water measurement and connected water-monitoring installations.
