LO-CO series

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the Lo-Co Series of turbine flowmeters by Hoffer Flow Controls, designed for economical liquid measurement solutions. These flowmeters are suitable for liquid utility and OEM applications, offering stainless steel construction and precision machining.

Specifications

Materials: 316 stainless steel with a 17.4 PH rotor.
Linearity: ±1%.
Repeatability: ±0.1% of reading.
Temperature Range: -150°F to +250°F.
Turndown Range: Refer to the chart provided.
Bearing Style: Hard carbon composite bearings.
End Fittings: Available in NPT and screw-on flanges.
Coil: Magnetic pickup coil with 6" lead wires.
Calibration: Average K-Factor on water, etched on the body.
Approvals: CE Compliant.

Features

Rugged, industrial design with stainless steel construction.
Available in nine sizes from ¼" to 2".
Compatible with corrosive and non-corrosive fluids.
Can be paired with PET signal conditioners/converters.

Operating Principle
The flowmeter uses an inlet flow straightener to reduce turbulence and improve velocity. The fluid rotates a vaned rotor, generating a pulsing electrical signal proportional to the flow rate.

Construction
The Lo-Co Series features a simplified internal construction with two hangers and a rotor assembly. The flow straighteners are tack welded for durability in abrasive applications.

Applications
Typical applications include liquid measurements in test separators, water and oil metering, and hydraulic systems.

Mounting Positions
Horizontal mounting allows the coil to be located in any 360º axis. Vertical mounting is acceptable with adequate back pressure.

Ordering Information
Customers are advised to provide details such as service liquid, flow rates, operating pressures, temperatures, line size, and viscosity for proper flowmeter sizing.

Size Selector Chart
The document includes a chart detailing size, end connections, pressure drop, burst pressure, working pressure, K Factor, frequency, and weight for each flowmeter size.

Notes
The document emphasizes the importance of verifying specifications with the manufacturer as they are subject to change.
