    Turbine Flow

    Measurement

    Send flow rate measurements to monitor and control equipment. Also known as transducers, these transmitters convert flow rate measurements to an electrical signal that can be interpreted by receiving devices, such as remote displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). As flow increases, the output signal increases. For your receiving device to interpret the signal, you will need to calibrate it for the measurement range and output signal of the transmitter. They only give accurate readings within the rated measurement range. Mount them directly inline with your system. They measure flow correctly no matter their mounting orientation.
    These transmitters are calibrated with water. You can use them with other liquids, but they may not measure accurately if the liquid’s viscosity differs from water.
    Turbine Flow Measurement—Turbine transmitters measure flow by counting how many times their turbine turns as liquid passes through. To avoid clogging the turbine and other damage, use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids. The digital output sends flow data with a pulse, which is a spike of voltage. The higher the flow, the more pulses they send. The voltage of the pulse output matches the input voltage sent to the transmitters. These transmitters meet NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water.

    Flowmeter/Totalizers

    Determine the flow rate and total volume of liquid flowing through your system with the same meter. To measure flow, these flowmeter/totalizers count how many times their turbine turns as liquid passes through. Use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids to avoid clogging the turbine and other damage to these flowmeter/totalizers. You can reset the batch total, but you can’t reset the cumulative total. Mount them inline with your pipe system. They’re accurate in any mounting orientation.
    These flowmeter/totalizers are either calibrated with water or solvent. You can recalibrate them in the field to other liquids, pipe, and operating conditions.
    Choose a fitting material that is compatible with the liquid you're running through your line. IP rated, all seal out dust and can be lightly rinsed.

    Totalizers with Digital Display

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flowmeters. Totalizers with Digital Display.
    A digital display makes it easy to check both the total amount of liquid that’s flowed through and the batch total. These totalizers are useful in applications where water needs to be batched and dispensed. You can reset the batch total, but you can't reset the cumulative total. They measure flow volume by counting how many times their turbine turns as liquid flows through. To avoid clogging the turbine and other damage to these totalizers, use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids. They’re accurate in any mounting orientation. Mount them inline with your pipe system. Rated IP65, they seal out dust and can be lightly rinsed.
    These totalizers are calibrated with solvent. You can use them with other liquids, but they may not measure accurately if the liquid’s viscosity differs from solvent.

    Measure the total amount of liquid flowing through these totalizers. They total the volume by counting how many times their turbine turns as liquid flows through. To avoid clogging the turbine and other damage to the sensor, use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids. Their total cannot be reset.
    These totalizers are calibrated with water. You can use them with other liquids, but they may not measure accurately if the liquid’s viscosity differs from water.

    Totalizers for Oil

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flowmeters. Totalizers for Oil.
    Measure the amount of light oil that flows through these totalizers. They use positive displacement, so they measure flow by passing specific volumes of liquid through a chamber. Their total can be reset. Manually or automatically turn them on, and they automatically shut down 40 seconds after flow stops. Their mounting orientation won’t affect their ability to measure flow correctly. Install these totalizers directly inline with your pipe system using the fittings on each end. The fittings are 316 stainless steel, so they resist impact better than plastic fittings.
    These totalizers are calibrated with water. You can recalibrate them in the field to other liquids, pipe, and operating conditions.
