Features:
• Metallic tube with a robust construction
• Indication by means of magnetic coupling
• High performance measurement in extreme working conditions and high resistance to corrosion
• Low pressure drop
• Damping mechanism to avoid float bounces in gas and steam applications
Description:
Flowmeters are based in the variable area principle. The metering system consists on a calibrated orifice and a conical float. The force from the fluid, as it flows from the bottom to the top, displaces the float until it reaches an equilibrium point that is a function of:
• E = force of the fluid flow
• Pf = weight of the float
• AI = free area of flow
(AI= Ao, calibrated orifice area, - Af, float area)
Each float position represents an area between the float and the orifice.
This area corresponds to a flow rate.
Applications:
• Water treatment plants, pulp & paper and food industry
• Pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical industry
• Power plants and nuclear generating plants
• Heating and cooling circuits
• Saturated steam circuits
• Oven treatments and control of gas burners
