Turbine Flow Sensors target low flow applications.
Press Release Summary:
Utilizing IR technology to monitor and control fluids, including corrosive or aggressive liquids, PFA Teflon® Turbine Flow Sensors are designed for full-scale flow ranges of 2.0, 20, and 40 Lpm with accuracy of 1% of reading and repeatability of better than 0.15%. Featuring lightweight rotor that generates IR reflected digital output signal, sensors can be supplied with internal preset flow switch set via software interface, and internal programmable batch function for dispensing and dosing.
Original Press Release:
New Model PFA Teflon Turbine Flow Sensor Ideal For Low Flow and Other Monitoring and Control Applications
Model PFA Turbine Flow Sensors utilize high resolution IR technology to monitor and control fluids, including corrosive or aggressive liquids. PFA sensors meet all U.S. Pharmacopeia Class IV standards. BSE/TSE certificate available.
Hudson, MA-A new family of turbine flow sensors now available from Clark Solutions features innovative infrared technology to provide high-resolution flow measurement. Clark Solutions' new PFA Turbine Flow Sensors are designed for monitoring and controlling corrosive or aggressive fluids, including fuels. PFA Flow Sensors are designed for full-scale flow ranges of 2.0 l/min, 20l/min & 40 l/min with an accuracy of 1% of reading and a repeatability of better than 0.15%.
PFA Turbine Flow Sensors feature an ultra-lightweight rotor that generates a high resolution IR reflected digital output signal. These innovative turbine flow sensors work by having clear, opaque, or neutral liquids pass through a static worm, creating spin. The spinning fluid drives a PFA rotor into a frictionless rotation. Reflectors mounted on the rotor blades reflect IR signals to a high-resolution infrared sensor that determines the rate of flow by counting the passing reflections. The ultra low mass of the PFA rotor with ruby bearing provides very quick response to changes in the rate of flow.
In addition, the PFA can be supplied with an internal preset flow switch set via software interface, and an internal programmable batch function for dispensing and dosing applications. An external solid-state switch module, model 6300, is provided when these options are ordered.
Available for use with PFA Turbine Flow Sensors are the Model 6100 Digital to 4-20 mA Converter and the Model S601 Solid Batch and Flow Controller. Other PFA Flow Sensor models available from Clark Solutions include a stainless steel model and a disposable turbine configuration.
