SGUV/SGUL SHUNT ORIFICE FLOWMETER - platon-direct.eu

1 SpecificationProduct CodesSGUV/SGUL SHUNT ORIFICE FLOWMETERBy introducing a standard sharp edge ORIFICE plate between flanges in the line, a proportion of the main flow is diverted around the external pipework, through a locally mounted specially calibrated VA FLOWMETER . The flow through this SHUNT meter is linearly related to the line flow and is read directly on a linear scale. Easy installation between pipe flanges Instantaneous reading No electrical power needed Isolation valves for tube replacement and cleaning Option of GIR infrared alarms Designed to suit flange fittings (ANSI, DIN, BS10)MaterialStainless Steel plate mounted in Polyester coated steel carrier ringFlangesStandard BS10 Table EDP Produced25" WG for air 100" WG for liquid flows (max)

The plate, normally of Stainless Steel, isalways made of material entirely resistant to the fluidto be measured and is sized and machined generallyin accordance with British Standard practice detailedin BS EN ISO carrier is made from 1 thick material (metal orplastic) and of suitable diameter for clamping (withinthe bolt circle) between pipe flanges provided by theuser.

Therestrictor and indicating float are of material entirelyresistant to the fluid, standard materials are StainlessSteel and Duralumin but alternatives are readilyavailable. The restrictor is of small bore and must notbe obstructed otherwise inaccuracy will result; beingsited, however at the top of the Gapmeter glassmetering tube, any obstruction can be easily : DS1160 Page 3 of 4 ORDERING DETAILSN ature of fluid (and details of density and viscosity, if unusual).
