Variable Area Flow Meters and Flow Switches

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive overview of Hedland's variable area flow meters and flow switches, highlighting their ease of use and reliability in measuring various fluids and gases. The product line includes over 15,000 inline meters suitable for different applications, including oil, water, and compressed gases, with compatibility for viscosities ranging from 40 to 500 SUS.
Product Specifications: Hedland flow meters are available in sizes from 1/4 to 3 inches and are designed for both standard and high-temperature applications. They are constructed from materials such as aluminum, brass, stainless steel, polysulfone, or Radel®, ensuring compatibility with various fluids and operating conditions. The meters provide visual flow indication on a linear scale and can be equipped with MR Transmitters for digital display and analog output.
Operating Principle: The flow meters operate on a variable area principle, where a piston assembly with a sharp-edged orifice forms an annular opening with a metering cone. The piston carries a magnet that is coupled to an external indicating magnet, providing precise flow measurement. A calibrated spring opposes the flow, enhancing accuracy.
Product Variants: The document details different product variants, including standard and high-temperature flow meters, flow switches, and transmitters. Standard products offer accuracy of ±2% full scale, while EZ-view products offer ±5% accuracy. Various models are available with different temperature and pressure ratings.
Applications: Hedland flow meters are versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including hydraulic power units, mobile construction equipment, coolant flow monitoring, pneumatic tools, and more. They are suitable for petroleum, water-based, air, compressed gas, phosphate ester, and caustic/corrosive fluid measurements.
About Badger Meter: Badger Meter is a leader in flow measurement technology, offering a broad portfolio of flow control and measurement solutions. The company provides a variety of flow instrumentation solutions, including differential pressure flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters, and more. Badger Meter emphasizes the importance of accurate flow measurement for effective management and optimization of applications.

Variable Area Flow Meters and Flow Switches-3

The flow meter is a variable area instrument. A sharp-edged orifice, located within the piston assembly, forms an annular opening with the contoured metering cone. The piston assembly carries a cylindrical PPS/ceramic magnet that is magnetically coupled to an external indicating magnet which moves precisely in direct response to movement of the piston. A calibrated spring opposes flow in the forward direction. The Hedland variable area flow meters are the most readable products in their class. Brightly colored indicators move over the graduated, linear flow scale which contains bold, easy to...
