VFF HF66
Model: VFF/HF66/SS/207 bar VFF Rotary Piston Positive Displacement Flowmeter
Body:
207bar (3000 psi) body provided in 316 stainless steel with 1” NPT female process connections in-line.
Higher pressure versions available with connections to suit including wafer fitting between ANSI flanges.
Alternate materials are available such as titanium, duplex, super duplex and 17-4PH steel.
Rotor:
The rotor is provided in either anti galling stainless steel (AG, Nitronic 60), Brass (B) or Carbon graphite (C),
with a 316SS encapsulated magnet depending on the application. Part code becomes VFF/HF66/SS/207AG
etc.
Seal:
There is a single FPM O-ring seal between the top cap and body. Other elastomers are available e.g. Kalrez®,
FEP covered silicon and in higher pressure versions PTFE and Inconel.
Pick-up/Transmitter:
There is one
reed switching installed in a SS housing which is O-sealed to the meter body providing a rating of
IP68. The optional Ex ia or Ex d display is mounted on the housing. Typical reed switch life is 30 years at
continuous maximum operating flow rate.
Pressure rating:
207, 414, 690, 1035 and 1380 bar. Lower pressure ratings are all served by the 207bar version. (3000, 6000,
10000, 15000 and 20000 psi). Part code becomes VFF/HF66/SS/690 etc.
Temperature rating:
-40°C to +150°C (subject to chemical compatibility, pressure rating and location of the display), higher
supplier of temperature sensor available.
Pulse output: The unit provides a reed switch output with 6.6 pulses per litre (25 pp USG).
Viscosity range:
0.8 to 2000 cSt or greater. The normal meter maximum flow rate applies for viscosities from 1.2 to 30 cSt.
For higher viscosities up to 2000 cSt a reduced maximum flow rate may apply.
Flow rate range:
- Normal flow rate range 0-4000l/hr (0-66 l/min, 1050 USG/hr, 25100 USGPD). Minimum flow rate
repeatably measured relates to application viscosity and rotor type; for example less than 270 l/hr for 11
cSt. Consult Litre Meter for rangeability at specific viscosities with specific rotor materials.
- 50% over-range capability available for some applications – Please consult Litre Meter.
Filtration:
A 100 micron filter is advisable for 100% long life serviceability. If filtration is not possible, consult Litre
Meter.
Accuracy:
A calibration certificate is provided based on a representative viscosity fluid for the application. The
calibration certificate confirms the flowmeter accuracy. Improved system accuracy can be provided
typically to ±1% of actual reading where the linearisation signal processing facility of the display instrument
is employed.
Optional Display,
remote or head mounted:
Display of rate and total (as shown), battery, loop powered, 24 Vdc, 110 Vac, 240 Vac, optional
flow alarms. GRP or
Aluminium.
Exia display of rate and total (as shown), battery or loop-powered, optional flow alarms, ATEX. GRP or coated aluminium.
Exd display of rate and total, 24Vdc, 3 or 4 wire with Optional HART, MODBUS or Fieldbus comms. ATEX or UL. Coated
aluminium or stainless.
