Product catalog summary
Overview: The QVTTM Quad Variable Flow Transmitter by Eastern Instruments is a smart multivariable transmitter designed for precise measurement of up to four process variables: Differential Pressure (DP), Temperature, and Absolute Pressure (AP). It is particularly effective for measuring mass flow of air/gas at atmospheric pressures.
Specifications:
  • Modes of Operation: Multivariable Transmitter (measuring DP, Temperature, and AP) and DP Transmitter (DP only).
  • DP Measurement Range: 0.001 to 10 in WC with a typical operating range of 10000:1.
  • AP Measurement: Integral sensor tied to the low port of the primary flow element.
  • Temperature Measurement: Via 100 ohm (385) 3-Wire Class A DIN RTD.
  • Process Seal: Unique method requiring no diaphragm seal, reducing inaccuracies.
  • Flow Accuracy: Up to ±0.50% of reading over a 100:1 DP range.
Features and Benefits:
  • Rangeability: 4-20 mA signal can be ranged from 0 to 0.05 in WC up to 0 to 8 in WC.
  • Response Time: Updates flow calculation 10 times per second.
  • Output: 4-20 mA compensated flow output using measured values for DP, AP, and Temperature.
  • Versatility: LCD can rotate 270° and the head can rotate 180° for adjustability.
Sensor Performance:
  • Differential Pressure Sensor: High accuracy with minimal static pressure and position effects.
  • Absolute Pressure Sensor: High accuracy across various temperature ranges with minimal position effect.
  • Temperature Sensor: Compatible with Class A DIN 100 ohm 385 Platinum RTD Sensor.
Computed Value Performance:
  • Density Computation: Uses live/measured values for AP and Temperature.
  • Mass Flow Computation: High accuracy with a 100:1 operating range.
Sensor Limits:
  • Sensor Range Limits: Defined for DP, AP, and Temperature.
  • Sensor Span Limits: Specified for each sensor type.
Output and Power Supply:
  • 4-20 mA Output: User-selectable for standard or modified power output.
  • Power Supply: Loop power required with a supply voltage range of 8.8 to 42.5 Vdc.
Dimensional Drawings: Detailed dimensions and connection specifications are provided for installation and integration.
Model Number Table: Options for output, performance, temperature range, pressure range, and additional features are outlined for customization.

QVT Multivariable Transmitter for Air Flow Measurement: Spec Sheet-1

QVT™ Multivariable Transmitter The QVT™ Multivariable Transmitter from Eastern Instruments is a Smart Transmitter that can be used for the accurate measurement of up to four separate process variables including Differential Pressure, Temperature and Absolute Pressure. When coupled with any DP based flow measurement element, the QVT will calculate the fully compensated mass flow of air/ gas travelling through any process which is at or near atmospheric pressure (5 - 25 psia). The QVT is uniquely designed for high accuracy at ultra low DP ranges and can accurately measure differential pressures from 0.001 up to 10 in WC. This broad operating range is unique among multivariable transmitters and allows a single QVT transmitter to replace multiple transmitters when covering this large range. Another feature of the QVT is that its unique process seal requires no diaphragm seal. Diaphragm seals can often cause inaccuracies in a transmitter’s sensor readings due to condensate. FEATURES AND BENEFITS • Modes of Operation: Multivariable Transmitter (Measurement of two or more of DP, Temperature and Absolute Pressure), DP Transmitter (DP Measurement only) • DP Measurement: Typical Operating Range is 10000:1 (0.001 in WC to 10.0 in WC) measuring Differential Pressure across any primary flow element • AP Measurement: Measurement of Absolute Pressure (integral sensor tied to low port of primary flow element) • Temperature Measurement: Measurement of Temperature via 100 ohm (385) 3-Wire Class A DIN RTD • Process Seal: Our unique method of isolating sensors from the process requires no diaphragm seal and can be further enhanced with a Purge Seal (Low Volume Continuous Purge coupled directly to transmitter) • Flow Accuracy: The accuracy of the flow measurement can be as high as ±0.50% of Reading over 100:1 DP (10:1 flow) range • Rangeability: the span of the 4-20 mA signal corresponding to DP can be ranged from 0 to 0.05 in WC up to 0 to 8 in WC (160:1) • Response Time: Updates flow calculation 10 times a second • Functionality: All measured and calculated variables are available on LCD panel • Output: 4-20 mA Compensated flow output using measured/input values for Differential Pressure, Absolute Pressure and Temperature (Can also be a single variable output only) • Simplicity: Ae and the 4-20 mA full scale value are set from LCD panel’s push buttons • Zero: Differential pressure can be zeroed from the LCD/push button interface • Power Supply: Loop Power 8.8 - 42.5 vDC range • Versatility: LCD can be rotated independently of the head (LCD rotates 270o and head can rotate 180o) for ultimate adjustability M J E A.
