The ingredient
measurement positive displacement (PD) flowmeter system features a bearing
less design with only two moving parts. The flowmeter is ideal for measuring
high-viscosity fluids in food applications where batch repeatability is
desired. In many food applications
higher viscosity requires that Coriolis meters be specified at a larger line
size to minimize pressure drop, which inherently limits the low-end measurable flow
rate compared to a smaller line size meter. Employing the flowmeter system
helps improve quality control in food manufacturing. The system is suitable
for measuring flow rates as low as 0.001 gallons per minute and is designed for
applications involving high pressure and pulsating flow streams. Due to
its unique geometry, the PD meter can be utilized in the optimal line size,
which minimizes pressure drop and enables accurate measurement across the
entire desired flow range. The PD flowmeter employs 316 stainless steel
construction, advanced thermoplastic impellers, and a non-intrusive pickoff
sensor. The meter offers repeatability of +/-0.05% of rate and up to
1,000:1 turndown, and can measure viscosities up to 1,000,000 cP+. The system
is Clean-in-Place (CIP) compatible -- ensuring a low cost-of-ownership.The
PD meter can also be quickly opened in-line for inspection and physical
maintenance if needed. It is available for 1/8 inch to 2-inch lines sizes.
