- Metallurgy
- Pharmaceutical industry
Technical Specifications:
The IFLO-SH250 Variable Area flow meter delivers high performance, with technical specifications that include:
- Measuring Range: Capable of measuring liquid flow rates from 0.03m3/h up to 3000m3/h. (Note: The document specifies 0.03m2/h, which is likely a typo and should be m3/h for volume flow rate of liquids, and the upper range for air is 3000m3/h. Page 3 confirms water flow up to 200000L/h=200m3/h. The 3000m3/h likely refers to air). Air flow measurements range from 0.03m3/h to 3000m3/h.
- Accuracy: Offers an accuracy of ±1.5% of rate, with an option for ±1.0% of rate.
- Pressure Rating: Standard pressure ratings are up to 4.0 MPa for DN15-DN50 and 1.6 MPa for DN80-DN200. Special configurations can handle pressures up to 32 MPa (DN15-DN50) and 16 MPa (DN80-DN200).
- Temperature Range: Standard SS304 models operate from −40∘C to +100∘C. PTFE lined models are suitable for 0∘C to +100∘C, and high-temperature versions can withstand up to +450∘C.
- Viscosity Limits: Accommodates various fluid viscosities, for example, <5 mPa.s to <30 mPa.s for DN15 and up to <300 mPa.s for DN50-DN150.
- Output Signals: Available with 4-20mA output (2-wire or 4-wire system) and pulse output. Options for RS485 and Hart communication are available for certain converter types.
- Protection: IP65 rated enclosure.
- Explosion Proof: Options for ExdIIBT1-6 and ExiaIICT1-6 are available.
