Flow-meter-PPC-04/12-SFM Flow Turbine

The Flow-meter-PPC-04/12-SFM Flow Turbine is permanently installed in the pipeline. The oil flow rotates the internal axial turbine. The frequencies generated are processed by digital electronics (a signal converter). Interferences caused by flow effects are compensated by this process.

The signal converter is now directly integrated into the Flow Turbine. This allows even simpler operation and supports permanent coupling of the turbine and signal converter components that are matched to one another.

The Flow Turbine also improves the response time (from previously 400 ms to 50 ms) and increases the measuring accuracy.

The Flow-meter-PPC-04/12-SFM is available in five versions for various flow speeds. A Pressure Sensor-PPC-04/12-P can be connected in parallel to the Flow Turbine by way of the integrated test coupling. In addition, the oil temperature can also be measured using the connection of the Temperature Sensor-PPC-04/12-T.

In general, the Flow Turbine can handle flows in either direction. The specified technical data and the calibration (available as an option) apply only when the flow through the Flow Turbine matches the recommended flow direction. A double-headed arrow is shown on the nameplate of the Flow-meter-PPC-04/12- SFM. The thicker end of the double-headed arrow specifies the recommended direction of flow.

Note: A Connection Cable-PPC-04/12-3 (3 m (9.84 ft)) is needed to connect the Flow Turbine to the current Hydraulic Testers. An Extension Cable-PPC-04/12-5-EXT (5 m (16.40 ft)) is also available as an option.
