CT Series Turbine flow meters with conditioned output

Product catalog summary
Overview: The CT Series turbine flow meters with conditioned output are designed for hydraulic systems in various applications, including test stands and machine tools. They offer a compact design suitable for limited spaces and provide accurate analogue outputs for easy integration with digital displays and PLC systems.
Specifications: The flow meters support a flow range of 1-1500 lpm (0.25-400 US gpm) and can handle pressures up to 480 bar (7000 psi). They offer output options of 4-20 mA or 0-5 V and are capable of bi-directional operation. The meters are compatible with a wide range of fluids, including hydraulic oils and fuels, and come with standard calibration at 21 cSt.
Functional Specifications: The meters operate within an ambient temperature range of 5 to 40 °C and a fluid temperature range of 5 to 90 °C. They offer an accuracy of 1% of the indicated reading for flows between 15% and 100% of the range, with repeatability better than ±0.2%.
Electrical Specifications: The supply voltage ranges from 12 to 32 VDC, with current output options of 4-20 mA and voltage output options of 0-5 VDC. The construction materials include high tensile aluminum and stainless steel, with Viton seals as standard.
Model Variants: Various models are available, each with specific flow ranges, pressure ratings, and port configurations. For example, the CT15 model supports a flow range of 1-15 lpm and a maximum pressure of 420 bar.
Operation and Calibration: The flow meters use a precision turbine to measure flow, with built-in flow straighteners to minimize turbulence. They are calibrated with 21 cSt oil, and calibration certificates are available upon request.
Installation and Filtration: The meters can be installed in any orientation and require a 25-micron filter (10 micron for CT15) in the circuit. They feature additional ports for temperature and pressure sensors.
Accuracy and Repeatability: The meters are calibrated at 10 points over the flow range, with accuracy typically quoted as a percentage of full scale or indicated reading. They offer excellent repeatability, crucial for consistent performance monitoring.
Fluid Viscosity: The meters are calibrated for a mean viscosity of 21 cSt, with special calibration available for different viscosities. The performance can be affected by fluid viscosity, and adjustments may be necessary for optimal accuracy.

CT Series Turbine flow meters with conditioned output-1

Turbine flow meters with conditioned output Up to l 1500 lpm, 400 US gpm l 480 bar, 7000 psi Output Options l 4 - 20 mA, 0 - 5 V The CT turbine flow meter with conditioned output provides a complete solution to the flow measurement of hydraulic systems on test stands, machine tools and other fixed or mobile applications. The flow meter can be installed anywhere in the hydraulic circuit for production testing, commissioning, development testing and analysis of control systems. The compact design allows the CT series flow meters to be installed where space is limited. The CT turbine flow meter has a built-in micro-controller that conditions the signal from the flow meter to provide an accurate analogue output. This enables you to connect the flowmeter directly into your digital display, PLC or custom DAQ system without having to worry about complex calibration factors or lookup tables. Two versions are available offering 4 - 20 mA current loop or 0 - 5 V. The CT flowmeter is the ideal tool for monitoring the performance of pumps, motors, valves and hydrostatic transmissions.

CT Series Turbine flow meters with conditioned output-4

Turbine Flow Meters Accuracy All our flow meters are calibrated at 10 points over the flow range and its performance measured against a flow reference that is traceable to International standards. Accuracy is typically quoted in one of two ways: as a percentage of full scale (the maximum calibrated flow) or as a percentage of the indicated reading (the actual flow). Flow range (Turndown ratio) The accuracy is better described as the uncertainty of the flow reading compared to a known reference. Every flow measurement has an error associated with it, caused by the combination of a large number...
