Fuel OilMeasuring fuel consumption in a power plantis critical in establishing unit working effi-ciency, and calculating fuel billing costs. Butaccurately measuring the flow of fuel oil canbe a problem for many flowmeter designs.

With a choice of turbine or PD flowmeters,Flow Technology has the correct device formeasuring clean, light fuels or heavier fuel oils.

A system consisting of a Flow Technologyflowmeter, temperature-compensating flowcomputer and rate/totalizer provides theoptimum solution for measuring volumetricor mass flow rate. This data, in turn, can beused for a precise determination of net fuel oilconsumption.

Chemical DispensingFew industrial flow measurement applicationsare as widespread, or diverse, as chemical dispensing. From shampoo, liquid soap andbleach, to various types of acids, chemical dispensing requires the ability to measureprecise amounts of typically corrosive, low-viscosity fluids.

Flow Technology flowmeters are built to handlethe most aggressive chemical dispensing applications. Our industrial PD meters featureengineered, thermoplastic impellers that resistthe effects of harsh and damaging conditions.With a compact design, the meters are easilyintegrated into most dispensing systems.

We also offer an all-plastic meter designed foruse in highly-corrosive chemicals and acids.

Turbine GeneratorsTurbine generators are employed by powerplants, hospitals, government agencies andother mission-critical users to gain additionalpower generating capacity during periods ofpeak demand, and as an emergency backupsystem in the event of outages. Manufacturersof these generators utilize Flow Technologyturbine flowmeters to measure inlet/outletfuel, as well as water injected into the systemfor NOx control. The meters provide repeata-bility of ±0.05% and linearity up to ±0.1% ofreading.

Manufacturers of gas seals for large industrialturbines also use Flow Technology’s turbineflowmeters to precisely meter seal leak rate.Excess leakage is an indicator of seal failure.

Featuring up to 100:1 turndown and fastspeed-of-response, our turbine meters areideally suited for such high-accuracy, repeat-able flow measurement applications.

Sealants/AdhesivesIn the sealants and adhesives market, it’s notuncommon for processes to employ little orno automation. This situation frequentlyresults in inconsistent product quality.

OEMs faced with measuring the flow of high-viscosity fluids in sealant and adhesive blending applications can achieve improvedperformance thanks to the “Simply Accurate”design of Flow Technology’s PD meters. Witha reputation for high-resolution outputs, theycan be used in conjunction with meteringpumps to provide precise, automated or semi-

automated control in ratio blending and otherlow-flow batch applications.

Heat Transfer FluidsInjection molding machines produce a widerange of molded plastic products, such as softdrink bottles, containers, etc. Heat transferfluid circulated through these machinesmaintains a proper manifold temperaturelevel, and in doing so, ensures the consistencyof molded parts. This environment requiresthat a flowmeter be able to withstand highfluid temperatures, while providing depend-able, accurate flow rate measurements.

Flow Technology’s turbine flowmeters canhandle the rigors of demanding heat transferfluid applications. Unlike typical “low-end”meters, they provide exceptionally reliabledigital and analog outputs, and are con-structed from rugged stainless steel forextended service life.

Pulsating FlowContrary to the claims of some flowmetermanufacturers, not all meters are suited tothe pulsating flow streams found in manyindustrial processes. Flow Technology’sflowmeters, which provide accurate measure-ments, easy maintenance and a lowcost-of-ownership, are the answer.

Our PD meters withstand the shock producedin pulsating flow streams. In addition, special-ized electronics are used to ensure a steady,accurate flow rate in these conditions.

In the industrial arena, measuring the flow of liquids and gases involved in a wide range of manufacturing and production processes demands superiorinstrument performance. High operating pressures, pulsating flow streams and corrosive environments present difficult flow metering challenges.

In critical industrial applications, Flow Technology’s flow measurement systems meet — and exceed — the highestexpectations. With proven reliability, supe-rior accuracy, and virtually maintenance-free service, they provide unsurpassedtotal performance.

Our rugged positive displacement flow-meters and precision turbine flowmeterscan be used to measure the flow of acids,chemicals, hydrocarbons, solvents, heattransfer fluid, hydraulics and other fluidscritical to production in industrial plants.Indeed, Flow Technology flowmeters routinely perform under conditions thatmost flowmeters wouldn’t even dare toattempt.

Installed With ConfidenceAround The WorldFrom the petrochemical refineries of theGulf Coast, to process plants around theworld, industrial manufacturers and OEMsrely on Flow Technology — The FlowResource — to meet their most critical flowmeasurement requirements. Our flow meter-ing solutions are utilized in both routine andultra high-accuracy applications, including(partial list):

Proven Performance For Any IndustrialRequirementLook for any flow measurement environmentwith high accuracy requirements, orrigorous, day-to-day production demands,and you’ll find Flow Technology. Typicalindustrial applications for our flow meteringsystems include:

AdditivesAt almost any process plant, there arenumerous additive flow streams. Because of today’s increasing business demands,however, precise metering of costly additives,such as mercaptin and dyes, has never beenmore important to your bottom-line.

No matter what your process, FlowTechnology can deliver effective solutions for metering a host of key additives. Ourcustomers, including many of the world’slargest OEMs, choose either our positivedisplacement or turbine flowmeters tomeasure the flow of clean-to-abrasive andlow-to-high viscosity additives.

HydrocarbonsMeasuring the flow of hydrocarbons, whetherthey be oils, polymers, etc., isn’t a job for justany flow metering device. For this reason,industrial users turn to Flow Technology —a recognized flow measurement resource. Weoffer a choice of positive displacement andturbine meters that can meet virtually anyhydrocarbon flow measuring requirement.

Feedback ControlsSteam generating stations seeking a reliablepH monitoring solution for de-mineralizedor purified water choose Flow Technology.Unlike magnetic and Coriolis flowmeters, ourcost-effective PD meters allow maintenanceto be performed in-line. And they’re builtwith 316 stainless steel cases to ensureutmost chemical resistance.

Users can also add a Flow Technologyrate/totalizer with an optional 4–20 mAanalog output signal and 16-point lineariza-tion to configure a complete flow controlsystem. These units allow plants to maintainlocal indication of total consumption, as wellas providing an analog signal to the feedbackcontrol loop that monitors and adjusts the pHlevel of the de-mineralized water.

Hydraulic SystemsHydraulic test stand manufacturers andplants operating hydraulic controls recog-nize the quality, reliability and accuracy ofFlow Technology flowmeters. Our meters arefrequently employed in feedback controlsystems and on equipment that tests and cali-brates hydraulic pumps, filters and cylinders.

In many hydraulic applications, operatingtemperature and pressure vary a great deal.This can cause variations in viscosity andcreate effects such as water hammer thatneed to be addressed. To deal with thesedemands, Flow Technology’s turbine flow-meters are available in “High Shock”configurations with stepped housings andreinforced rotor blades. High Shock metershold up under the most extreme pressurespike conditions.

Temperature-compensating electronics that provide frequency and analog outputscorrected to the actual operating tempera-ture and viscosity are also available.

In high viscosity applications, our PD metersare the preferred option. Designed for ease ofmaintenance and long service life, they’re aproven choice when viscosity levels are abovethe flowmeter’s threshold viscosity.

VECTOR™ PD FlowmeterThe patented VECTOR™ positive

displacement flowmeter featuresa unique, double-helical, three-

lobe impeller design. The spe-cially-shaped impellers add an

advantage of high throughput atlow RPM, while providing exceptional accuracy and longlife. Additionally, they create low pressure drop and allowthe flowmeter to be used with high- or low-viscosity liquids.VECTOR™ handles flow rates up to 700 GPM, and tempera-tures as high as 450° F.

DC-I SeriesFlow Technology’s patented DecathlonSeries of in-line, positive displacementflowmeters, including both standardindustrial and economical models, areideal for a wide variety of liquid flowapplications. These flowmeters are bothhighly accurate and easily adaptable tomost industrial applications. They are availablein 1/8" to 4" line sizes, and provide reference accuracy of±0.05% of rate. The meters also handle viscosities of1,000,000 cP+, and operating temperatures up to 400° F.

HS SeriesThe HS Series “High Shock” turbineflowmeter is specifically designed towithstand pressure spikes that create

hydraulic shock waves in the fluid when actuators orrams are activated. HS Series meters utilize stepped hous-ings and reinforced rotor blades that allow them to hold upin the most demanding conditions. They are available in3/8" to 2 1/2" sizes, and are capable of measuring liquid flowrates from 0.03 to 450 GPM.

TrickleMeter®

Ideally suited for use in low flow applications, Flow Technology’sTrickleMeter® measures flow ratesfrom 0.005 to 0.5 GPM. This innova-tive meter, which is able to withstandpressures up to 1,000 psig, features a stainless steel case and carbide shafts.

AP-I SeriesThe patented, high-accuracy AP-ISeries positive displacement flowme-ter utilizes engineered, thermoplasticmaterials to handle many aggressiveor ultra-pure liquids. The meter is idealfor aggressive liquid flow applications, including acids, caustics, ultra-pure fluids, specialty chemicals and DI water.

FT and FTO Series Turbine Flowmeters Flow Technology’s FT and FTO Series turbine flowmetersfeature high accuracy and repeatability,compact size, fast speed-of-response, low pressuredrop and low cost whencompared with othermetering technologies.Standard materials of con-struction are a corrosion-resistant 316 SS with a 430F SS or17-4PH SS rotor. A wide variety of end-fittings are available,including ANSI Flanges, NPT, MS, Hose Barb and SAE.

Linear Link®

The innovative Linear Link®, with itsadvanced “blade averaging” capability, hasredefined the method for optimum turbineflowmeter linearization. Meters equippedwith this high-performance unit canachieve excellent accuracy over a 100:1 flowrange. The simultaneous frequency and analog outputs provide flexibility for any data acquisition system.

BR3000 Series Battery power and a compact size makexthe BR3000 Series Rate/Totalizer a xversatile local indicator. It accepts

magnetic pickup, DC pulse and switchclosure inputs. Rate and total are shown

simultaneously on the easy-to-read, two-line, LCD display.Loop-powered versions are also available.

SL9000/9100 Series The SL9000/9100 Series FlowComputers are advanced instru-ments for liquid, gas, steam and heat applications.
