Variable-area flowmeter DS01 series

for liquidsfor gasstainless steel

The flowmeter and switch model DS01 works according to a modified variable area principle. The float is guided in a cylindrical measuring glass by means of a spring. The flowing medium moves the float in the flow direction. The upper edge of the float shows the momentary flow via a burnt-in scale on the measuring glass. A Reed contact is mounted outside the meter in a sealed housing. When the float reaches the position of the Reed contact the switch will close. With higher flows the float moves further upward until it reaches a built-in float stop, still keeping the switch closed. This ensures a bistable switch function at any time. The Reed contact is adjustable over the full switching range of the meter. Typical applications The variable area flowmeters and monitors DS01 are used to measure and monitor continuous flow rates of low-viscosity liquids or gaseous media. Areas of applications are: cooling systems engineering research and development DS01 Miniature variable area flowmeter and switch for low viscosity liquids or gases Low-Cost-version brass or st. steel versions available for pipe sizes from 1/4" to 1 1/4". scales are burned into glass any mounting position with switch contact and/or analogue transmitter max. pressure: 16 bar, max. temperature: 160 °C
