Flow Meters For Water And Coolant Operate With NPT Ports

Feb. 22, 2011
The no-moving part design makes the products suited to monitor media with small particulates.

Parker Fluid Control Division's new line of Vortex Shedding Flow Meters are suitable for applications utilizing water, water/glycol coolant and other low-viscosity fluids. They monitor the flow of cooling fluid for resistance welders, slurry pump seal water, machine coolant and steam boiler feed water.

Additionally, Parker flow meters can be used for cooling water to furnace walls and inductors in steel mills; cooling boiler feed pumps and turbine bearing cooling in power generation plants; as well as for rubber, mining, municipal wastewater treatment and water addition in chemical and process applications.
 
Parker flow meters feature no moving parts. The no-moving part design makes the products suited to monitor media with small particulates. The meters operate with NPT ports ranging from one-quarter inch to 2 inches in size and can handle flows from 4 to 200 gpm with occasional over-ranging up to 125% of capacity without damaging the meter.

Parker Flow Meters feature 4-20 mA flow-rate transmitters and can withstand working pressures from 10 to 300 PSIG. They are designed to operate efficiently at fluid and ambient temperatures from 35º to 150º Fahrenheit. The CSA- and CE-certified flow meters are built with a stainless-steel or bronze body with PVDF sensors and FKM seals.
