This flow captor is a flowmeter for food and industrial applications, and is suitable for the measurement of liquids, semi-solids and a wide range of corrosive media. The small compact unit needs no additional parts. Two versions are available: an in-line version with an integrated stainless steel pipe, and a side entry version that must be inserted into the main flow. The stainless steel pipe runs through the centre of the in-line flow captor, and is the actual sensor element. The flow captor works according to a calorimetric measuring principle (a small part of the pipe is electrically heated) and the heat flow, depending on the flow speed of the medium, is measured electronically. This provides a linear output signal proportional to the flow speed.
Features include: an in-line unit is available in four different pipe sizes, a large measuring range, which is fully adjustable, the side entry version mounts with a nut and 'O' ring, low maintenance, good long term stability, non-intrusive sensing, and therefore there is no interference in the flow profile.
Applications where these features are important are in the process control of food, as well as chemical industries: cooling systems, cooling water for large machineries, steel industry, pump protection, liquid and oil applications, hazardous areas of underground mining, paper and pulp industry, in-line for small pipe diameters.
