Description

Technique

The Rotor blades sweep out the full bore of the meter except for a small tip clearance space . As the blade tips pass the magnetic pick up they initiate a pulse . Flow rate is determined by the frequency of the pulses and Totalised Flow is obtained by summing the pulses .

“ Fluidwell “ Totalisers , which sum the pulses automatically and display Flow Rate and Total Flow instantly on the readout , can be mounted on the Turbine or fitted remotely . Options include: linearisation, pulse/4-20 retransmit , batch control, RS comms, with various power options including 7 year Battery. (EEx ia versions available)

LFT Turbines fitted with the intrinsically safe pick up ( IS option ) are suitable for Hazardous Installations ( Eex ia IIC T4 ) .

F112 Flow Rate Totaliser unit can be fitted to the LFT turbine flow meters. These can be orientated vertically or horizontally, with the display pre-programmed to suit your own requirements. The Fluidwell displays can provide flow rate and flow totals, with 4-20mA flow rate output, and pulse output for flow total, or Serial strings for networking multiple meters back to a central monitoring point.
