Variable Area Flowmeter

Product catalog summary
Operating Principle and System Configuration
The Variable Area Flowmeter V31 functions with a float and a conical glass tube, where the medium flows upwards, lifting the float to indicate flow rate. Calibration is specific to the medium's density and viscosity. Optional features include a float guide rod and limit switches for signaling specific flow rates.
Construction and Dimensions
The V31 model offers various sensor connections, including threaded, hose connector, and flange options, with weights varying by connection type.
Materials
Constructed from materials like 1.4301 stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and PVDF, ensuring durability and media compatibility.
Float Types
Available float types include unguided, guided, and viscosity-stable floats, with specific models required for certain viscosity levels.
Contacts and Limit Switches
Bi-stable magnetic contacts indicate float position without reactive contact, featuring high vibration resistance and simple connectors.
Mechanical Data
The flowmeter has a turndown ratio of 1:10, with accuracy classes of 1.6% for liquids and 2.5% for gases, designed for bottom-to-top flow.
Measuring Ranges
Standard ranges are provided for water and air, detailing pressure losses and flow rates for different float types.
Model Code and Process Connections
The V31 model code includes various meter sizes and process connections, with options for threaded, flange, and hose installations.
Specifications
  • Hose Connectors: Available in stainless steel and PVDF, with inner diameters from 19 mm to 50 mm.
  • Floats: Made from materials like 1.4571 stainless steel and PVDF, with guided, magnet, and weighted options.
  • Process Connections: Include threaded, flange, and hose connections with various materials.
Medium Compatibility
Compatible with water and air.
General Section
  • Gaskets: Options include EPDM, Viton® (FKM), and FEP/Perfluor (FFKM).
  • Electrical Outputs: Various contact and switch options for magnet-weighted floats.
  • Scales: Options include percentage and MB scales, as well as engraved scales.
  • Certificates: Compliance and acceptance certificates, including material analysis for stainless steel parts.
  • Cleaning and Testing: Options for oil and grease-free cleaning, pressure, and leakage tests according to EN 10204 standards.
  • Approvals: ATEX certifications for explosive environments, with mandatory shatter protection.

Variable Area Flowmeter-2

Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Operating Principle and System Configuration The measuring instrument composes of a float and a conical glass tube (M) A medium flows from the bottom to the top through the measuring ring, lifting the float in the process until the buoyancy force (A) and the weight of the float (Gs) establish equilibrium. As the height of the float varies, an annular clearance (S) proportional to the flow appears between the float and the measuring tube. The height of the float (K) in the measuring tube serves as the actual rate of the flow. The flow rate is read directly from the scale....
