The Ultra Mag flow meter sets a new standard for performance, ease-of-use, and value. It is designed for the needs of industrial water and wastewater industries – specifically for conductive liquids, slurries, and sludge.
The Hach Water Specialties Propeller Meter is the best choice for measuring clean water flows in municipal and industrial applications. Meter materials and performance meet or exceed AWWA standard C704/92.
The Dura Mag is the full-bore, electromagnetic flow meter offering a fusion-bonded epoxy coating eliminating risk of liner separation and water intrusion.
The unique combination of reliability, ease of installation and total cost savings make the Hach FPI Mag the perfect choice for municipal water and wastewater effluent applications and flow media.
The classic McPropeller meter has been the leading choice of the American farmer since 1955. This flow meter is also a water management tool, helping reduce water costs with its high accuracy.
McCrometer’s insertion-style McMag2000 is the only mag meter on the market with a price tag comparable to a propeller meter, and allows for in-field serviceability, guaranteeing minimal downtime and maximum control.
Flow Meters for Compliance Readiness
BABA flow meters are necessary for federally-funded infrastructure projects, including water and irrigation systems, but a meter that meets BABA requirements also guarantees that you’re supporting domestic companies and local products.
Each flow meter that meets BABA requirements comes with a letter of compliance, in addition to the standard calibration and accuracy testing and certificates that all McCrometer meters receive.
BABA requirements are complex and evolving; McCrometer simplifies them for flow instrumentation by clearly identifying which meters meet domestic manufacturing criteria and providing standardized documentation packages that help engineers move quickly from funding application to approved design.
Compliance Documentation for Federal Funding
McCrometer provides a portfolio of U.S.-manufactured flow meters and systems backed by standardized BABA compliance documentation, clear origin statements, and sales tools tailored to grant- and funding-driven projects.
Understanding Your Role in BABA Certification
Incorporates BABA requirements into all contracts. Obtains manufacturer’s certifications and maintains them in project files.
Procure US-made products and obtain certifications from manufacturers. Maintain a list of items covered by the De minimis Use Waiver. Submit the Contractor’s & Engineer’s Build America, Buy America certification form with each payment application.
Provide product certifications to contractors and/or loan recipients.
Conduct inspections and examine documentation for incorporated products and review De minimis tracking form.
Assists loan recipient to comply with requirements by ensuring BABA is incorporated into all contracts and all prospective bidders are aware of BABA components incorporated into the design. Verify BABA compliance when approving shop drawings and materials.
The Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021, establishes a domestic sourcing preference for federally funded infrastructure projects. It requires that all manufactured products, construction materials, iron, and steel used in these projects are produced in the United States to bolster domestic manufacturing and strengthen local economies.
If your infrastructure project—such as a municipal water system or irrigation district—receives federal financial assistance, BABA compliance is often a mandatory requirement. Using BABA-compliant flow meters, like those offered by McCrometer, ensures your project remains eligible for federal funding while supporting American jobs and domestic industrial health.
McCrometer offers a wide range of flow meters that meet BABA requirements for various industrial and municipal applications. Our compliant lineup includes:
To ensure your project documentation is complete, McCrometer provides a formal Letter of Compliance for BABA-compliant meters. When requesting a quote, please specify that your project requires BABA compliance. Our team will provide a compliant quote and a custom part number; once the order is placed, the Letter of Compliance will be issued alongside your standard calibration and accuracy certificates.
Yes. While both promote domestic sourcing, the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act specifically applies to "Federal financial assistance" for infrastructure projects (like those funded by the IIJA). It expands the scope of domestic preferences beyond just direct federal government procurement. McCrometer specializes in providing flow meters that meet these specific BABA domestic sourcing preferences for manufactured products.
