An in-line flow meter for accurate feedback in critical flow applications, now in larger sizes

The sensor display includes a 4-digit numeric display with eight integrated LEDs that together indicate the flow rate, total volume, and temperature of all conductive media. Simple pushbutton programming quickly establishes application parameters and the flow meter can be set-up to provide a switching output, analogue output and pulsed output.

The basic unit is calibrated in SI units, while for those exporting to USA for example, further devices calibrated in gallon or Fahrenheit can be supplied.

The sensor offers high accuracy with a response time of less than 0.15 seconds and a repeatability of ±0.2%. Electrical connection is made through an M12 connector.

The principle of operation is based upon Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction that detects the flow velocity of an electronically conducting fluid through a defined pipe diameter. Faraday’s Law states that the voltage induced across any conductor as it moves at right angles through a magnetic field is proportional to the velocity of that conductor.

Typical applications include: flow and temperature monitoring through heat exchangers, monitoring cooling water on welding machines, batching applications, totalize flow of process water, pump run dry protection, and guarding welding equipment against loss of cooling water
