Kleev USA is proud to announce that our Electromagnetic Flow Meters (Magmeters) have officially received WRAS Approval (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme). This certification is one of the most respected recognitions in the water industry, especially in the UK and European markets, where drinking water compliance is taken very seriously.

For us, this is not just a certificate. It is a strong validation of our product quality, safety and long-term reliability. The approval confirms that water passing through Kleev electromagnetic flow meters remains safe, clean, and uncontaminated.

In this article, we explain how Kleev met all evaluation requirements and what benefits it brings to different industries.

1. What Is WRAS Approval?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) is a UK-based certification that ensures any product used in contact with drinking water does not negatively affect water safety, quality, or hygiene.

WRAS Approval confirms:

• The material is safe for drinking water contact
• The design does not cause contamination
• The device does not support bacterial growth
• No harmful chemicals leach into the water
• The product meets UK Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations

WRAS is widely recognized not only in the UK but also in many global water-related projects. For many consultants and EPC companies, WRAS is a mandatory requirement for product selection.

2. Why WRAS Approval Is a Big Achievement for Kleev USA

Earning WRAS approval is not an easy process. Products undergo strict testing by approved labs, and every component that touches water must pass individual evaluation.

For Kleev USA, this approval highlights our commitment to:

1. High-quality manufacturing
2. Safe materials
3. Long-term accuracy of measurement
4. Reliable performance in water and wastewater applications

This approval strengthens our global reputation and opens new opportunities in many water-focused industries.

3. What Was Tested in Our Electromagnetic Flow Meters?

To meet WRAS requirements, Kleev electromagnetic flow meters went through a series of laboratory tests. These tests check safety, performance, and material compatibility.

The major evaluation areas included:

1. Material Safety Testing
   WRAS labs examine all wetted materials such as liners, electrodes, and gaskets. The goal is to ensure no harmful substances migrate into drinking water.
2. Mechanical and Design Assessment
   The design is reviewed to verify that the meter does not create stagnation zones or contamination risks.
3. Operational Testing
   Flow meters are tested under typical operating conditions to ensure stable performance.
4. Microbial Growth Resistance
   Surfaces are checked to ensure they do not support bacterial growth.
5. Effect on Water Taste, Odor, and Appearance
   WRAS ensures that the meter does not change water quality in any way.

Passing all these tests confirms that Kleev electromagnetic flow meters meet one of the highest global standards for water safety.

4. Kleev Electromagnetic Flow Meter – Key Features That Supported Approval

Our design philosophy has always been focused on safety, accuracy, and reliability. Many of our existing features naturally aligned with the WRAS expectations.

The features include:

• Full-bore electromagnetic measurement with no moving parts
• Food-grade, safe liner materials
• Corrosion-resistant electrodes for long service life
• Low-pressure loss design
• High accuracy and repeatability
• Strong EMI/EMC immunity
• Suitable for clean water, treated water, and raw water applications

These characteristics helped Kleev meet the tough WRAS standards without major design changes.

5. Why Electromagnetic Flow Meters Are Important in the Water Industry

The water industry relies on precise flow measurement for billing, process control, leak detection, and regulatory reporting. Magmeters are preferred because they offer:

1. No obstruction to flow
2. No pressure drop
3. Suitable for wide pipe sizes
4. Ideal for conductive liquids like water
5. Very low maintenance

WRAS approval further enhances the importance of magmeters in potable water applications.

6. Industry-Wise Importance of WRAS Certified Flow Meters

Here are the sectors where WRAS approval significantly impacts product acceptance.

6.1 Drinking Water Distribution

Municipal water authorities require WRAS-approved equipment to ensure safe water delivery to residential and commercial customers.

Where Kleev is used:

• City water supply pipelines
• District metering areas
• Pumping station flow monitoring
• Water treatment outlet measurement

With WRAS approval, our meters can now be confidently selected for these critical applications.

6.2 Water Treatment Plants

Water treatment systems use flow meters at many points, including filtration, disinfection, and distribution.

Importance:

1. Ensures treated water remains safe
2. Supports accurate dosing of chemicals
3. Helps meet regulatory reporting requirements

WRAS-approved devices minimise contamination risk inside treatment plants.

6.3 Food & Beverage Industry

Food and beverage companies require flow meters that do not compromise hygiene.

Our WRAS-certified meters are ideal for:

• Bottling plants
• Breweries
• Mineral water processing
• Dairy and beverage utilities

The approval confirms all wetted components meet strict safety standards.

6.4 Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Facilities

Purified water, RO water, and process water need contamination-free flow measurement.

Kleev magmeters provide:

• Safe material contact
• High measurement accuracy
• No internal cavities or bacterial traps

The WRAS approval brings additional confidence for pharma engineers.

6.5 Irrigation and Agriculture

Even though irrigation does not require drinking water standards, WRAS approval still provides a higher trust factor, especially for projects funded by international agencies where documentation is strict.

6.6 EPC and Project Consultants

Consultants often specify WRAS-approved instruments to avoid compliance issues later.

With our certification, project approvals become easier for:

• Water pipeline EPCs
• Infrastructure companies
• Utility project designers

This reduces delays and ensures acceptance during technical audits.

7. Benefits of Choosing WRAS-Approved Kleev Electromagnetic Flow Meters
