Flowmeters for all applications
May 2010
Flow Measurement & Control
USA-based Dwyer Instruments feature a number of flow indicator applications for both liquids and gases with a product range geared to meet most process conditions. The comprehensive range includes variable area and sight flow indicators as well as digital mass flow and portable ultrasonic flowmeters. Represented by Meter Systems in South Africa, the Dwyer products complement the existing Meter Systems positive displacement and turbine flowmeter products, allowing the company to offer a wide range of flow measurement solutions for rate of flow and volumetric applications. Additional to the flowmeters, Dwyer offers a wide range of flow switches featuring field adjustable or fixed set-points for water, hydrocarbons or gasses.
Typical applications for the company’s flow measurement products include:
* Air velocity with an orifice plate or averaging Pitot tube.
* Flows of air and gasses using the Dwyer Rate-Master flowmeters in furnace applications.
* Main pump failure monitoring using the Dwyer Flotech flow switch.
* Metering valves on Dwyer VA flowmeters to control air/gas intakes on air pollution analysers.
* Sight flow indicators to reveal flow or blockage.
To ensure that customers implement an optimal solution choice, the company offers a local application engineering service.
