Monitoring valuable liquid dispensing
An innovative engineering firm in Dorset has perfected a monitor for beer flow that combines a low-cost pints totaliser with sophisticated security features to detect tampering.
Installation from the side of the flow line is made via a 1.5" BSP or NPT fitting, and versions are available for 'hot-tap' insertion into pressurised lines.
The turbine has a radial type rotating element, sometimes referred to as an undershot water wheel, which rotates freely on graphite/PTFE impregnated PEEK bearings, with specially 'aerofoil' shaped blades to extend the dynamic range of the meter to lower flow rates.
The specially contoured housing further improves the meter linearity particularly at lower fluid velocities.
The meter contains two styles of electrical sensor output, one self-powered and used with battery-operated equipment, and the other an open collector transistor providing output pulses.
The body is manufactured from AISI316 stainless steel and as standard is supplied with three metres of five core screened instrument cable.
All the electronic displays from the Metra-flo range are offered for use with the sensor, providing display, totalisation or batch control.
These can all be mounted directly onto the meter, via a mounting stalk: Metra-view and Metra-Smart can be self powered, permitting their use in remote areas or for portable use, whereas Metra-batch requires an external power source.
Due to the relatively small disturbance the metering head introduces to the pipe, pressure losses for this type of flowmeter are very low making energy savings by reducing pumping costs.
Typical applications are in water distribution mains, fire hydrant monitoring, boiler feed measurement, irrigation systems, district heating and HVAC systems. Request a free brochure from Titan Enterprises ...
