  • Flow range: 5 to 65 l/min
  • Pulses/l: 210
  • Frequency: 17.5-227.5 Hz
  • DN: 12
Application Range
  • Agricultural and horticulture
  • Chemical and pharmaceutical industry
  • Manufacturing of oil and gas burners, flow heaters
  • Manufacturing of cooling systems
  • Automotive technology
  • Laboratories
  • Manufacturers of washing machines, dishwashers, etc.
Measuring Principle

The flow causes the bladed rotor of the LFH to turn at an angular velocity directly proportional to the fluid velocity. As the blades pass beneath a magnetic pickup coil, a frequency signal is generated. Each pulse corresponds to a discrete volume of fluid, with the frequency pulse directly proportional to the rotor angular velocity and the flow rate.

Advantages
  • High frequency and good resolution due to a large number of pulses
  • Short response time due to small turbine mass
  • Simple mechanical design ensures long life and good repeatability
Installation and Maintenance
  • Verify compatibility of media with sensor material
  • Ensure proper filtration if solid particles or fibers are present
  • Install the sensor in a properly cleaned pipeline
  • Check electrical connection according to the wiring plan
  • Do not exceed specification limits
  • Device is maintenance-free if correctly installed; cleaning may be necessary depending on fluid media
  • Installation should be performed by trained personnel only
  • Calibration is mandatory for accurate measurements

LHF-12-1

Turbine flow meter Flow sensor LHF-12 are intended to measuring of small quantities of líquids. The most outstanding features are: -Low cost sensor -Range 5 to 65 l/min -Simple construction -Small dimensions and weight -High repeatability -Wide temperature range -Operating pressure up to 25 bar Measuring principle Flow causes the bladed rotor of the LFH to turn at an angular velocity directly proportional to the fluid velocity. As the blades pass beneath a magnètic pickup coil, a frecuency signal is generated. Each pulse is equivalent to a discrete volume of fluid. The frequency pulse is directly proportional to the rotor angula velocity and the flow rate. Advantages The large number of pulses gives a high frequency and good resolution. Also, as the mass of the turbine are very small the response time is very short. It is a very simple mechanical instrument who guarantees a long life in a good repeteability zone.
