Product catalog summary
Measurement Principle: The flow measurement of gases and clear liquids in the Series 6001 and 6002 flowmeters is based on the variable area principle, achieved by the displacement of a float within a conical Borosilicate glass tube.
Applications: These flowmeters are widely used in various industries, including water treatment, chemical processes, industrial refrigeration and air conditioning, research laboratories, gas burners, pilot plants, and annealing furnaces.
Benefits: Key advantages include easy installation without the need for straight pipe sections, low pressure drop, direct scaling in various units (l/h, l/m, kg/h, %, mm), adjustable alarms, and robust construction with Borosilicate glass and coated steel.
Operation: The fluid flows upward through a tapered tube, moving the float to a position where the free area allows the flow to pass. The pressure drop remains constant across the flow range due to the relationship between fluid velocity and flow area.
Technical Data: The flowmeters offer threaded and flanged connections, with lengths ranging from 380mm to 510mm. They adhere to VDI/VDE 3513 Class 1.6 accuracy standards, with a scale length of 200mm and a rangeability of 10:1. They can withstand temperatures up to 180ºC and have various material options for different applications.
Alarm Options: The flowmeters can be equipped with various alarm systems, including magnetic actuated micro switches, inductive proximity sensors, optical position detectors, and magnetic actuated reed switches, each with specific power supply and operational parameters.
Materials: The flowmeters are constructed with different materials depending on the series, including coated steel, AISI-316, PVC, and PTFE, with floats made from AISI-316, PVC-Lead, PTFE-Lead, Aluminium, and other materials as needed.
Flow Measurement Ranges: The document provides detailed tables for measuring ranges for different float types and maximum pressure drops, with specific models catering to various flow rates and fluid types.
Additional Products: TECFLUID also offers a range of other flow measurement and control instruments, including electromagnetic flowmeters, counters, level indicators, and electronic equipment like converters and transmitters.

Reading Line The fluid flows up through the tapered tube forcing the float to a position with sufficient free area to enable the flow to pass. This free area is related to the flow rate, the weight of the float and the density and viscosity of the fluid. The pressure drop across the flow meter remains constant over the entire flow range. This occurs because the pressu- re drop is related to the fluid velocity and area of flow, the area of flow increases as the flow rate increases.
