Flow transmitters offer corrosion
resistance
Plastic-construction vortex flowmeters provide corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness in transmitting flows of water, chemicals, brine, corrosives and low-viscosity pure liquids
Universal Flow Monitors introduce the new P420 series of vortex-shedding flowmeters, to meet the requirements of water desalination, chemical and water treatment operations The P420 provides an inexpensive, corrosion-resistant flow rate transmitter, without moving parts that might stick, bind or coat

The P420 Series flow transmitters from Universal Flow Monitors are electronic instruments with wetted parts entirely of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
These non-mechanical meters are designed to operate with low-viscosity liquids that are compatible with PVC, including liquids that may contain particles.
The P420 flow transmitters are offered at under USD300 list price and are available in five pipe sizes with maximum flow rates from 12 gallons per minute (45 litres per minute) to 200 GPM (750 LPM).
The pipe sizes and maximum flow rates are: 1/2 inch (12 GPM, 45 LPM), 3/4 inch (25 GPM, 95 LPM), 1 inch (50 GPM, 190 LPM), 1-1/2 inches (100 GPM, 380 LPM) and 2 inches (200 GPM, 750 LPM).
P420 vortex-shedding flow transmitters have no o-ring seals.
Connection is made by either solvent welding PVC pipe into the socket port provided or using a threaded connection.
Electronic output is from a 4-20 mA two-wire transmitter rated intrinsically safe, for use with barriers.
The electronics package is totally potted and not vulnerable to shorting, corrosion, leaks, humidity or condensate problems from conduits or thermal cycling.
Universal Flow Monitors, located in Hazel Park, Michigan, has manufactured flow meters for a variety of industries for more than 20 years.
