BERMAD Irrigation
Basic Valve
900-M Series
IR-900-M Hydrometer
with Magnetic Drive
The BERMAD Model IR-900-M is a unique product integrating both a vertical turbine Woltman-type water meter and a diaphragm actuated hydraulic control valve. The vertical turbine impeller drive is magnetically coupled to a vacuum-sealed meter register in the control head. Both the magnetic drive control head and its register(s) are hermetically sealed and are not affected by dirty water nor environmental humidity. The highly sensitive magnetic drive provides superior accuracy that exceeds all water meter standards. The available Reed Switch and Opto-Electric 4-20 mA transmitter options provide greater flexibility in electrical pulse generation. Serving as Flow Meter and Main Valve, the BERMAD Model IR-900-M controls irrigation together with the irrigation controller. The IR-900-M provides the full spectrum of metering functions from simple visual readout, to pulse output for computerized data capture and control while simultaneously allowing for numerous control valve features such as pressure, level and flow control. Ranging in size from 11/2"; DN40 through 10"; DN250, the 900-M Series is specifically designed for metering and control applications in agricultural and landscape irrigation as well as in municipal & industrial water supply systems. The flow metering unit is vertical to the pipeline and includes an impeller with integrated inlet and outlet flow straighteners. This internal design eliminates the need for straightening distances, enables vertical or horizontal installation, and ensures accuracy even when the valve is partially open during pressure or flow control tasks. The impeller assembly shaft serves as the closure assembly guide, while also centralizing and tightening all internal parts both in their position and to one another. The basic Model IR-900-M combines simple and reliable construction with superior performance, while at the same time being virtually free of the typical limitations associated with other single chambered valves. The relatively high impeller housing raises the location of the vulcanized seal seat above the valve body. This results in remarkable cavitation resistance and a smooth mushroom-shaped flow where the valve body is distanced from the flow. The closure assembly, combining a rugged radial disk harnessed to a flexible fiber reinforced diaphragm, slides on the guide along the full valve travel. The diaphragm is carefully balanced and peripherally supported to avoid distortion, resulting in long-life and controlled actuation even under harsh conditions. One diaphragm and spring fully meets the valve's operating pressure range requirements. The cover is removable via fastening bolts for quick in-line inspection and service. All the internal assemblies can be easily removed from the valve body with no need for disassembling the valve from the line.

Principle of Operation
On-Off Modes, Local Manual Control
900-M Series
Hydrometer Closed
Hydrometer Open
Line pressure is applied to the control chamber of the hydrometer, through the override Cock-Valve. This creates a hydraulic force that moves the valve to the closed position and provides drip tight sealing. Discharging pressure from the control chamber to the atmosphere causes the line pressure under the plug to open the hydrometer, measuring the flow rate.
On-Off Modes, Solenoid Controlled
Solenoid Open Hydrometer Closed
Solenoid Closed Hydrometer Open
Line pressure is applied to the control chamber of the hydrometer, through the opened 3-way solenoid. This creates a hydraulic force that moves the valve to the closed position and provides drip tight sealing. Closing the Solenoid causes it to switch, discharging pressure from the control chamber. This in turn causes the line pressure under the plug to open the hydrometer, measuring the flow.
BERMAD Irrigation
2-Way Modulating Modes, Pressure Reducing Pilot
900-M Series
Modulating to Close The restrictor continuously allows line pressure into the control chamber, while the pilot controls outflow from the control chamber. Throttling when it senses a pressure rise, the pilot causes pressure to accumulate in the control chamber, forcing the valve to modulate closed.
Modulating to Open The pilot modulates open when it senses a pressure drop, releasing greater flow from the control chamber than the restrictor can allow in. This causes the accumulated pressure in the control chamber to drop, and the valve to modulate open.
Zero Flow Position When demand drops to zero, downstream pressure begins to rise as the flow enters a closed line. The pilot closes, initiating the valves irreversible closing process, eventually causing it to seal drip tight.
3-Way Control Modes, Pressure Reducing
Fully Open Position When upstream pressure drops, the pilot blocks the supply pressure port and opens the drain port, venting the control chamber to the atmosphere. This fully opens the hydrometer, minimizing head loss.
Modulating to Close The pilot switches upon pressure rise, blocking the drain port and opening the supply pressure port. This pressurizes the control chamber, forcing the hydrometer to modulate closed.
Locked Position When sensed pressure is equal to setting, the pilot blocks both the drain and the supply pressure ports. This locks the pressure in the control chamber, freezing the hydrometer opening in its last position until conditions change.
BERMAD Irrigation
2/3-Way Modulating Modes, Flow Control
900-M Series
Modulating to Close Should demand rise above setting, the increasing flow dynamic-force moves the paddle, which thereby pushes up the pilot trim, causing a negative ratio between water flow into and out of the control chamber. Pressure then accumulates in the control chamber, forcing the hydrometer to throttle closed.
Modulating to Open When demand is below setting, the pilot's spring force pushes the pilot trim down, thereby causing a negative ratio between water flow into and out of the control chamber. Pressure is then released from the control chamber, enabling the hydrometer to modulate open.
Stable Conditions As long as flow is per pilot setting, the pilot freezes the control chamber inlet and outlet flow ratio. This keeps the hydrometer opening rate constant, allowing the hydrometer to react "on-line" to any anticipated changes in supply and/or demand conditions.

The Irrigation Hydrant is a unique valve assembly unit designed for irrigation and water supply distribution for multiple farm units. The Irrigation Hydrant consists of two main parts: an Irrigation Hydrant Valve and Hydrometers Type H mounted on top of the Irrigation Hydrant Valve. Hydrometer Type H The Hydrometer Type H is a 120-degree elbow-shaped Hydrometer that integrates both a vertical turbine Woltman-type water meter, with a diaphragm actuated hydraulic control valve. It meets the full range of applications of the BERMAD 900-M Series. The Hydrometer Type H is available in two sizes: 21/2" & 4". Irrigation Hydrant Valve The Irrigation Hydrant Valve is available in three inlet sizes: 3", 4" & 6". It is an on/off hand-wheel operated valve with a single flange inlet and one, two, three or four distribution outlets. The Irrigation Hydrant Valve is available in three Model Types:
