Variable area flowmeters offer custom calibration for variety of applications
September 16, 2009
The latest addition to the
company’s broad line of fluid system components, the variable area flowmeters
are used to measure liquid and gas flow rates by means of a tapered tube and
float. The flowmeters provide highly accurate measurement with individually
calibrated scales and a 10:1 turndown ratio. All VAFs are factory calibrated
and marked to indicate the specific media, flow range, and accuracy class. In
addition, the product can be calibrated and marked to customer-specific
applications. Customers can choose from ten variations of variable area
flowmeters fitted with glass or metal measuring tubes offered by the company. Series
are available featuring glass measuring tubes, which enable direct view of the
process reading and flow at the meter and series models equipped with metal
measuring tubes and mechanical or electronic displays for use in difficult
operating conditions where pressure or temperature is a factor. All models are
easy to install and have no wearing parts to help extend product life. The VAFs are available with NPT and flange
end connections in sizes from 1/8- to 1 ¼-inch. Available options include high/low
flow indicators, transistor relays, and 4 to 20mA analog outputs.
