Turbine flow meter FT2

for chemicalsin-linewith pulse output

FT2 Turbine Flow Meter: Optical Detection The multi-range, optical FT2 radial flow turbine meter uses a low inertia turbine supported on robust sapphire bearings in a chemically resistant housing. 9 flow ranges (0.02 to 160 L/min), a choice of 'plug in' fittings and individual traceable calibration make this turbine flow meter one of the most flexible flow sensors available. For OEM flow measurement applications the fittings can be tailored to suit the installation and speed production. Custom leads or connectors are also available for quantity orders. At the heart of the FT2 optical turbine flow meter is a precision turbine that rotates freely on robust sapphire bearings. This rotation is sensed using optical detection. The resulting output is an NPN pulse that is readily interfaced with most electronic display or recording devices. This combination of materials and technology ensures a long life product with reliable operation throughout. Because the optical turbine flowmeter is so versatile with respect to flow range and fittings every combination of range and fitting is not available. The chart below shows the maximum standard flow rate/fitting we would recommend to attain our performance figures. Alternatives are possible but there would be degradation in the meters performance.
