Product catalog summary
Description
The P420 flowmeters are economical and robust plastic flow transmitters. They are available in port sizes ranging from 3/8 inches to 2 inches in diameter, with full-scale flow rates from 6 to 200 GPM and a 10:1 turndown ratio. The wetted parts are made of PVC and CPVC, with connections available as socket weld ports or NPT threads. The design includes no moving parts and features a terminal strip with a 1/2 inch NPT conduit port. The internal diameter is within .030 inches of standard Schedule 80 PVC pipe for flow continuity.
Electrical Specifications
The output is a 4-20 mA signal, and the device is two-wire loop powered, requiring an input power of 10-30 VDC at 25mA.
Material Specifications
The bodies, sensor, and bluff are made of PVC or CPVC, with no seals required.
Installation
A straight run of 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 pipe diameters downstream is required, along with a 10 PSI backpressure.
Instrument Specifications
The response time is 0.9 seconds, with an accuracy of ±2% of full scale and repeatability of ±0.25% of indicated flow. Pressure maximums vary with pipe diameter and temperature. The enclosure is Type 4, IP 65, and pipe connections are solvent weld to socket or NPT threads.
Applications
Suitable for low viscosity fluids up to 4.5 Cp or 50 SUS, including brine, water, and corrosive fluids.
Industries
Applicable in water treatment, chemical, and desalination industries.
Pressure and Temperature Specifications
Maximum pressure varies with temperature and pipe diameter, detailed in the provided chart for both PVC and CPVC materials.
Ordering Information
Model codes are provided to select the appropriate configuration based on flow rate, pipe diameter, and connection type.
Installation Drawing
Dimensions for various meter sizes (P3, P4, P6, P8, P12, P16) are provided, detailing measurements A through F.
