ACCURATE & ECONOMIC FLOW SENSOR
Minimally invasive, low cost segmented wedge flow sensor. Used to monitor and control process water.
NO MOVING PARTS
The segmented wedge element provides a simple and reliable restriction for sensing flow as related to pressure differential
UNRESTRICTED MOUNTING
Allows the designer to install
the meter in any orientation – horizontal, vertical or inverted.
COMPACT AND RUGGED DESIGN
Measures less than
10" long and 3-1/2" wide, with a flanged mounting base for simple installation.
MULTIPLE FLOW RANGES AVAILABLE
The FreeFlow™ Sensor is offered
with several ranges of calibration to accommodate the requirements typical to process
water applications.
MULTIPLE PORT SIZES
Standard selection of NPT ports reduces the amount of adapters required for installation.
LOW-COST PRECISION
Measuring accuracy of ±2% of range and repeatability of ±1/2%.
Engineering Specification
The FreeFlow™ Sensor Shall:
- Use the segmented wedge differential producer to measure flow rate as related to pressure.
- Not require inlet or outlet straight plumbing, or require vertical pipe mounting.
- Have a measuring accuracy of ±2% of full scale with ±1/2% repeatability.
- Be Lake Monitors No. FF– _ _ _– _ _ _– _ _
