Flow Measurement & Control


Monitoring gas burners

October 2017 Flow Measurement & Control

Whenever a flow of gases needs to be adjusted or monitored, Kobold has available its model UTS, a practical and affordable variable area flowmeter for monitoring gas burners. This compact measuring instrument can be placed at various locations, precisely where required.

The instrument works on the suspended float principle. In the vertically installed flowmeters, the medium flows upwards in the inner borosilicate glass measuring tube and again downwards between the measuring tube and the outer piston, made of transparent plastic. A float in the measuring tube provides information on the current flow, which is read on the clearly visible scale. Inlet and outlets are both located at the bottom of the instrument and may be accessed via an optional adaptor.

The float and O-ring seal are available in different materials, so that the best suited type can be selected for a wide range of applications. Typical examples include, monitoring supply to gas burners or engines, and the supply of laboratory equipment with different gases. To expand the application range even more, a version with an upstream needle valve is also available.
