Series COVOL

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document outlines the specifications and operational guidelines for the COVOL Series oscillating piston flowmeters, which are designed for measuring the flow of various liquids, including those with high viscosity. These flowmeters are applicable in industries such as chemical, petrochemical, tank filling, and fuel consumption measurement.
Specifications
  • Handles liquids with viscosity up to 120,000 mPa·s.
  • Flow rate range: 25 l/h to 60 m³/h.
  • Accuracy: ±0.8% of measured value; Repeatability: ±0.3%.
  • Materials: Body options include AISI 316L, PVC, PP, PTFE; Piston options include PTFE+graphite, aluminium, bronze, PVDF.
  • Connections: EN 1092-1 flange, BSP/NPT threaded, and sanitary couplings.
  • Temperature range varies by material, e.g., AISI 316L: -40ºC to +150ºC.
  • Pressure ratings: AISI 316L up to PN16, others up to PN10.
Working Principle
The flowmeter operates with an oscillating piston within an annular measuring chamber. The liquid flow causes the piston to oscillate, dividing the chamber into inlet and outlet sections, ensuring a constant volume of liquid is moved per cycle. A magnet within the piston activates a reed switch, providing an output signal for electronic conversion.
Installation and Maintenance
  • Can be mounted horizontally or vertically, with bidirectional flow measurement.
  • Requires a filter with a mesh size between 0.5 and 1 mm before the unit.
  • Installation of an air/steam separator is recommended for accurate measurements.
  • To prevent cavitation, follow API Std 2534 guidelines for outlet pressure.
Electronic Converters and Options
  • Various models available for flow rate indication, volume totalization, and batching applications.
  • Options include 4-20 mA analog output, HART protocol, and Exd versions for hazardous environments.
Applications
Suitable for use in chemical and petrochemical industries, tank filling, steam condensate measurement, and fuel consumption monitoring.
ATEX Compliance
The flowmeter is suitable for installation in ATEX hazardous areas with Exi intrinsically safe or Exd ExProof protection options.
Exd Housing Models
  • Model ADF30: A blind housing with reduced dimensions.
  • Model ADF60V: Housing with a window, capable of including CIP … CIP II or CP ... CH420L converters.
  • Model ADF60: Similar to ADF60V but with a blind housing.
Technical Data
  • Ambient temperature range: -20ºC to +60ºC.
  • Electrical wiring is contained within the Exd housing.
  • ATEX packing glands available for standard or shielded cables upon request.
  • Associated electronics include:
    • CIP ... CIP II: Battery-powered totalizer.
    • CP … CH420: 2-wire system transmitter with flow rate indication, volume totalizer, and 4-20 mA output. HART protocol is optional.
  • ATEX certificate: Ex d IIC T6 Gb / Ex tb IIIC T85ºC Db.

Series COVOL-3

Mounting Both in horizontal and vertical position, bidirectional flow measurement and suitable for all flow directions. Straight pipe run before and after the flowmeter is not required. In order to assure the good performance of a COVOL flowmeter, the installation of a filter prior to the unit is mandatory, with a mesh size between 0.5 and 1 mm, according to the pipe diameter (smaller sizes involve a smaller mesh size). In those processes where air or gases, liquid evaporation, etc. might be present, an air/steam separator must be installed before the flowmeter, in order to obtain a real volume...

Flow scales Max . i ntermittent pulses / litre l/h water l/h water approx. The COVOL flowmeters are calibrated with water (density 1 kg/l and viscosity 1 mPa-s). After this calibration the pulse / litre factor is obtained. With this factor, the associated electronic converter can make the calculation of the flow rate and/or the volume values. As shown in the accuracy curve, the area where the maximum accuracy is obtained is by the mid of the flowmeter flow range. The measurement errors can be corrected in the different associated electronic converters by means of the adjustment of the...
