Product catalog summary
Introduction
Delimon's 'Rising Ball' and 'Spinner' are cost-effective, entry-level flow indicators designed for visual confirmation of flow in pipe sizes ranging from 8mm to 40mm. These indicators are suitable for various applications, including chemical, water, oil, and gas industries, and are constructed from high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance.
Specifications
  • Materials: Stainless steel or bronze body, PPS plastic spinner, PTFE ball, annealed borosilicate glass dome, Viton or PTFE 'O' ring, Klingersil gasket, stainless steel fasteners.
  • Pressure: Maximum working pressure of 16 bar.
  • Temperature: Maximum working temperature of 200°C.
  • Connections: BSP(F) parallel and NPT(F) taper.
  • Flow Direction: Rising Ball is horizontally mounted for single direction; Spinner can be mounted horizontally or vertically for bi-directional flow.
Applications
The flow indicators are primarily used for plant protection, providing early warnings of overheating, bearing or seal failure, and ensuring the maintenance of cooling water flow. They are also used for detecting changes in liquid conditions, indicating chemical dosing, and showing the presence of condensate in steam lines.
Flow Requirements and Performance
  • Rising Ball: Operates from a minimum flow of 0.1 LPM with a pressure drop of 0.13 to 0.30 bar depending on size.
  • Spinner: Operates from a minimum flow of 0.7 LPM to a maximum of 140 LPM with a pressure drop of 0.14 to 0.50 bar depending on size.
Dimensions and Weights
Both Rising Ball and Spinner models have specific dimensions and weights based on bore size, ranging from 0.62 kg to 2.50 kg in weight and varying lengths and heights.
Conclusion
Delimon's flow indicators offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for visual flow confirmation in various industrial applications, with excellent chemical compatibility and minimal maintenance requirements.

DELIMON Rising Ball & Spinner – August 2008 DELIMON Cooling, Ramsden Court, Ramsden Road, Rotherwas Industrial Estate, Hereford, HR2 6LR, UK. Tel: +44 Cooling DELIMON 'Rising Ball' and 'Spinner' Delimon's 'Rising Ball' and 'Spinner', the latest design of low cost, 'entry level' flow indicators. These robust indicators out perform other visual flow instruments by a considerable margin. When calibrated flow indicators are not needed, these units will satisfy most requirements within pipe sizes 8mm to 40mm. Being constructed from high quality materials these in-line indicators will meet the needs of many chemical applications, as well as being suitable for water, oil and gases. The Delimon visual flow indicators start to operate once flow has commenced, this can be from as low as 0.1 LPM. The exceptional ratio between maximum and minimum flow is achieved by carefully toleranced manufacture. When operators require a visual confirmation in their pipework for lubrication and coolant flow, these simple indicators can provide a cost effective solution for plant protection. Including one of these inexpensive fittings to pipework on a power plant may save thousands of pounds in downtime and bearing or pump impeller replacement. Add to this the safety implications resulting from plant failure and the true benefits may be fully appreciated. Applications This flow indicator is primarily used in plant protection applications to show lubrication or coolant flow to pumps, compressors or engines. Applications include:- • Early warning of overheating, bearing or seal failure. • Detecting changes in the colour and condition of liquids during processing. • Pump, compressor and diesel protection. • Ensuring that flow of cooling water is maintained to specialised welding equipment. Suitable for water, gas and other clear liquids. Excellent chemical compatibility due to the materials of construction. Operates over a wide flow range. Competitively priced. Off the shelf deliveries. No routine maintenance needed. Unrivalled flow and pressure drop performance. Manufactured in stainless steel or bronze. • Indication of air entrainment. • Indicating chemical dosing on water treatment facilities. • Showing the presence of condensate in steam return lines. • Maintaining demineralised water rising essential to electronics components manufacture.
