icenta expands liquid and gas VA
flowmeter range
The icenta flowmeter portfolio now includes a range of cost effective, mechanical variable area flowmeters that require no auxiliary power and provide direct viewing of flow rate
Variable area flowmeters operate on the principle that the variation in area of the flow stream required to produce a constant pressure differential is proportional to the flowrate The flowing fluid enters the bottom of the meter, passes upwards through a variable area metering tube, and around the float, exiting at the top

The flowrate is read by noting the position of the float against the calibrated scale etched on the tube.
icenta VA flowmeters are proving popular for a wide variety of transparent liquid and gas applications.
As well as general purpose meters, design options are available for rugged environments, high temperatures and pressures.
The flowmeter range is summarised below:.
* VA Trogflux: general-purpose, low cost, plastic VA meter for transparent liquids and gases and non-demanding applications.
* VA Tubux: variable area flow meter that is compatible with many chemical substances and can withstand temperatures up to 150C.
* VA Unox: metal VA meter for liquids and gases that is compatible with many chemical substances and can withstand temperatures up to 150C; it allows installation or removal of the flow tube without removal of the fitting.
* VA Minix: aluminium VA meters with built-in needle valve for manual control of flow rates; the series can measure liquid flow rates up to 500 m/hr and gas flow rates up to 8000 m/hr.
* VA 250: all metal variable area flowmeter for rugged environments, featuring a robust stainless steel design for use with aggressive fluids up to 300C and 16bar.
These VA meters offer a number of advantages for flow monitoring, being relatively low cost, easy to install and maintain and robust; they are applicable to liquids and gases, there is no need for auxiliary power and they eliminate Ex protection and electromagnetic compatibility issues.
The VA meter range complements an already impressive product portfolio managed by icenta, which represents some of the leading names in the field of flow measurement.
