PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
When compared with other types of flow instrumentation,
variable area interchangeable flow meters offer the most practical,
precise and economical means of visually indicating flow rate measurement.
They require no electrical connections,
and have low meter related pressure drops.
Meters are available in a large selection
of flow rates and configurations, to accommodate
the unique requirements of most applications.
Included in the line are flow tube assemblies,
single and multiple tube flow meters.
PTFE-Glass meters are for metering corrosive
fluids or for high purity requirements.
Back pressure compensated Gas Proportioners
are popular choices for blending component
gases accurately to customized end use
requirements at great savings.
Multiple tube flow meters are available
with or without manifolding.

A tapered glass FLOW TUBE, and a spherical


FLOAT inside it, constitute the heart
of variable area type flow meters.

Flow meters are installed vertically in lines


carrying gases or liquids to be monitored.
Fluids enter through the smaller opening
at the bottom, and exit through the upper end.
Upward pressure causes the float to rise.
Flow takes place through the circular area
between the float and the inside surface
of the flow tube. As the float rises, the flow area
increases, due to the tapered bore of the flow tube.
Dynamic equilibrium results when the buoyant
force, due to the float and the upward force, due to
fluid pressure, balance the weight of the float.

This flow rate is obtained by determining


the height of the float with the aid of a scale
etched on the flow tube.

BULLETIN EM201302
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

These meters have the highest useful flow ranges


providing consistently reliable readings
from maximum flow down to 5 to 10% of capacity.

The vertical position of the float at equilibrium


corresponds exclusively to one particular flow rate.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
INTERCHANGEABILITY
Flow tubes and other components are thoroughly
interchangeable resulting in greatly increased
versatility. Meters are even interchangeable with
standard sizes made by other manufacturers.
As a result of simple assembly and installation
procedures, it is possible to use several sets of flow
tubes in conjunction with one mounting frame.

flow tubes
Precision fabricated from heavy walled,
shock resistant borosilicate glass.
Bores are uniformly tapered or formed
with internal rib-guides or flutes.
Floats are retained by TFE plugs.
OPTIGRADTM scales minimize parallax
and eye fatigue.
Interchangeability.
Self cleaning.
Low differential pressures that stay
independent of Flow rate changes.

OPTIGRADTM SCALES
The vertical tangential locator line facilitates
hairline accuracy and convenience of reading.
Flow tubes are supplied with millimeter, or direct
reading scales.

BULLETIN EM201302
GENERAL DESCRIPTION / FLOW TUBES

Standard scale lengths are 65 mm (2.56 in) or


150mm (5.91 in). Flow rates are determined by
lining up the scale graduation at the center of the
spherical float.
Parallax and lack of visual reference will affect the
accuracy and reproducibility of metering to a great
extent. Such a drawback is eliminated by
OPTIGRADTM scales.
A vertical locator line is incorporated into the
geometry of the scale graduation. To pinpoint the
center of the float with hairline accuracy.

FLOW TUBES
readings are taken as follows:
1) Position head in front of flow meter, with eyes at
level with the float.
2) Move head horizontally to the left until the contour
of the float appears to just touch the locator line
tangentially.
3) The intersection of the locator line with the
horizontal graduation at the center of the float,
pinpoints the appropriate reading value.

UNIVERSAL MILLIMETER SCALES


Millimeter scales indicate the height to which the
float rises within the metering
tube and are correlated with
specific flow rates through the use
of appropriate calibration data
sheets or curves.
Scales of this type permit
utilization of a given flow meter
for a great number of different
fluids at diverse pressure
and temperature conditions. See tables
6,7,8, 9 and 10 on pages 55-57 for maximum flow rates.

To minimize eye fatigue associated with


periods of repetitive readings, contrasting
yellow backgrounds are provided behind scales

DIRECT READING SCALES


Direct reading scales are indicating flow rates,
in engineering units such as [mL/min],
standard cubic feet per hour [scfh] etc.
Such scales are designed
exclusively for a specific gas or
liquid at a given set of pressure
and temperature and are valid for
the associated units of flow only.
Thus, the convenience of direct
reading scale designs should be
weighed against the resultant
limitations of applicability.
For listing of flow tubes with standard
Direct Reading Scales, see tables 11-22 on pages 59 thru 61.

VALVES

STANDARD VALVES (CVTM)

BUILT-IN VALVES
Meters are available with built-in needle valves (CVTM),
high precision metering valves (MFVTM) with non-rising
stems, or with no valves.
Built-in valves are mounted at the inlet (bottom) or
outlet (top) of flow meters. Generally, for gas metering it
is recommended that valves are positioned at inlets - for
liquids valves may be positioned either at inlets or outlets. For vacuum service, valves must be mounted
at outlets.
If unspecified at the time of ordering, meters will be
shipped with valves mounted at the inlets.

The VALVE NEEDLE turns as it travels into or out of the


VALVE ORIFICE. In conjunction with the cylindrical
cross section, the conical front tip of the VALVE SPINDLE increases or decreases the annular flow area. The
cartridge serves as a bubble-tight shut-off valve when
the tip of the VALVE SPINDLE comes into a stop position against the VALVE ORIFICE.

CVTM Valve Cartridge

HIGH PRECISION VALVES (MFV TM)

to reverse the position of valves

The higher cost of MFVTM valves is justified whenever


high sensitivity control and resolution are desirable
particularly in conjunction with metering tubes of very
low flow rates. A choice of six MFVTM flow capacities are
offered (see Table 1 on page 52) to be matched with
individual flow meter ranges.

1) Disassemble flow tubes from frames.


2) Install flow tubes upside down in frame.
3) Invert flow meter.

FRONT SHIELDS WITH


MAGNIFIER LENSES

This unique design comprises rectilinear motion valve


needles, with non-rising stems. As the needle advances
into and out of high precision cylindrical orifices, the flat
tapered surface of the needle gradually, without turning,
uncovers the flow area.

A unique longitudinal
magnifier is part of the
molded Lexan front shield
which is supplied on all
single tube flow meters.
The magnification of the
scale reading facilitates
greatly enhanced resolution
of measurement.

MFVTM Valve Cartridge

CVTM VALVE CARTRIDGES

The simple construction of CVTM valves incorporate a


VALVE SPINDLE with conical ends and compound
angles for optimal resolution.

Flow meters are shipped ready for panel mounting.


Meters may be mounted on or behind panels.
For on-panel installations holes are drilled for inlet and
outlet fittings and meters are mounted simply by means
of panel mounting nuts supplied.
Mounting behind panels is done by utilizing the screws
from front shields. Panel mounting is easily converted to
self standing bench mounting by using the appropriate
optional acrylic tripod base.

PTFE-SINGLE GLASS FLOW METERS

LEAK INTEGRITY
Flow meters are individually tested on a Mass
Spectrometer Leak Detector and certified to a leak
integrity rating of 1 X 10-7 sccs Helium or better.

BUILT-IN VALVES
Meters are available with built-in needle valves (CVT TM),
high precision metering valves (MVT TM ) with
non-rising stems, or with no valves. The higher cost of
MVTTM valves is justified whenever high sensitivity
control and resolution are desirable particularly in
conjunction with metering tubes of very low flow rates.
When meters with valves are ordered the valve
cartridges are installed at the inlet. For vacuum service
it is recommended that meters are ordered with valves
at the outlet.

Assorted flow tubes may be used in conjunction


with a single mounting frame, an apparent
benefit in many laboratory applications.

OPTICAL SENSOR SWITCH

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

P Style Meter with Optical Sensor Switch

The Optical Sensor Switch is a noninvasive means for


detection of a HI or LOW flow. This sensor is ideal for signaling
an alarm, cutoff valve, or other device when the float passes
the detector (alarm, valve etc. not included). Helps protect
your processes and equipment from damage caused by
extreme flow rates.
It's compact design and ease of operation make it a
nonobtrusive simple to use addition to your flow meter. Perfect
for OEM applications. Use whenever maximum or minimum
flow levels need to be monitored automatically. Also can be
used in conjunction with a control relay to power alternate
equipment or monitoring devices.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
A small LED sensor and receiver are mounted on one side of
the flow meter. The float inside the flow tube is detected as it
passes across the beam of light. Sensor can be used to detect
float passage beyond the setpoint of the sensor, or also can
be set to monitor float position at specific level, signalling
when float is outside of the range of the sensor light beam.

GAS PROPORTIONERS BACK PRESSURE COMPENSATED

To blend two or three gases in homogeneous


infinitely variable concentrations, directly at the
end use point, this Model G gas proportioner is
unsurpassed in convenience and economy.
Gas proportioners pay for themselves since they
eliminate the need for expensive custom blended gas mixtures.
They lend flexibility and economy to the utilization of component gas cylinders and piped-in
supply lines.

Another advantage
in laboratory investigations is
the freedom to reproducibility
increase or decrease
concentrations during the
course of an experiment.
The flow rates are not affected by downstream
pressure variations as long as back pressures do
not approach or exceed the input pressure. Input
pressures of up to 200 psig (13.8 bars) can be
used; however, customers very often find 50 psig
(3.45 bars) a convenient setting to work with.

design features
Blending of two or three gases with
gas proportioners obviates the need for:

PTFE-PFA FLOW METERS


Incorporating the principles of traditional
rotameter flow technology, these rugged
PTFE-PFA flow meters offer solutions to low to
medium flow range measurements of highly
corrosive or ultra-pure liquids.

High Range PTFE meter


with Valve

Wetted inert components are surrounded by


structurally rigid materials such as PFA-clad
aluminum, KYNAR . The resultant design represents a unique combination of a rugged
mechanically rigid frame and the chemically
inert wetted parts. Model L Meters are constructed of inert materials such as PFA, PTFE
and PCTFE.

Flow meters are also resistant


to external, ambient corrosives.
For the protection of personnel each flow
meter is supplied with a safety shield.
Flow meters are supplied with or without
built-in needle valves and they are panel
mountable, by means of KYNAR panel nuts.

PTFE - PTFA FLOW METERS

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

MOUNTING DIMENSIONS

A cylindrical float freely moving inside


a tapered flow tube comprises the
flow measurement element of PTFE PFA flow meters. The translucent PFA
flow tube is installed vertically in-line
in the liquid stream.
As flow takes place the float is propelled up inside the flow tube. The
area between the float and the inside
diameter of the flow tube gradually
increases with increasing flow and
correspondingly the pressure lifting
the float decreases until the weight of
the float and its buoyant force come
to equilibrium.

At equilibrium the top


of the float is lined up
with a scale graduation
on the flow tube denoting
a discrete rate of flow.
* Dimensions are in inches, except as shown in [mm]; for certified
dimensions contact the company.

SPECIFICATIONS
SCALES

0 to 10 markings (see dimension table


for scale lengths).
ACCURACY

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE 250F F (121FC).
MAXIMUM PRESSURE

PTFE NEEDLE VALVES

These compact and reliable PTFE needle valves are designed


for laboratory and industrial applications for regulating corrosive
gases and liquids or for high purity service. They may also be
used as shut off valves.
Pliant PTFE bodies of the valves are reinforced by structurally
rigid metallic shells. Fluids contact only PTFE and PCTFE materials. Shells are made of anodized aluminum or type 316 stainless steel and bushings are made of plated brass or 316 stainless steel. Where externally corrosive conditions exist stainless
steel is recommended.

design features

Fluids contact PTFE and PCTFE only.


Structurally Rigid Metal Shell.
One PTFE o-ring.
Simplicity only seven components.

Note: Based on 10psig (69 kPa) inlet pressure and


atmospheric exhaust.

Valve spindles are made of rigid PCTFE to minimize the undesirable material creeping normally associated with PTFE.
PTFE valves are designed for relatively high flow ranges while
still performing well in low flow rates. Valves may be used in
pressure or non-critical vacuum service.
The simplicity of design - there are only seven components
(including a single PTFE o-ring) - assures reliability and minimizes sources of leakage. It takes seconds to disassemble the
valve for cleaning and maintenance. The PTFE o-ring is radially compressed and due to this unique design feature the degree
of compression may be adjusted without disassembly by tightening the hexagonal bushing.

6mm PTFE NEEDLE VALVES


design features

Fluids contact PTFE and PCTFE only.


One PTFE o-ring.
Simplicity, only six components.

PTFE needle valves are


designed for laboratory and
industrial applications for
regulating corrosive gases and
liquids or for high purity service.
They may also be used as
shut off valves.
Fluids contact only PTFE and PCTFE materials.
Bushings are made of 316 stainless steel.

Valve spindles are made of rigid


PCTFE to minimize the
undesirable material creeping
normally associated with PTFE.
PTFE valves are designed for relatively high flow
ranges while still performing well in low flow
rates.

Valves may be used in pressure or


non-critical vacuum service.
The simplicity of design - there are only six components (including a single PTFE o-ring) assures reliability and minimizes sources of leakage. It takes seconds to disassemble the valve for
cleaning and maintenance.

The PTFE o-ring is radially


compressed and due to this
unique design feature the degree
of compression may be adjusted
without disassembly by tightening

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
METER SIZING FOR P, Px, T, Tx AND S METERS
Flow capacity tables 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (pages 55 to 58) are based on calibrations at standard conditions, meaning
14.7 psia (1 atm) pressure and 70 FF (21.1 FC).
Tables list maximum flow rates of flow tubes. The usable range of meters is at least 10:1, often more. Thus, as a rule
of thumb, to estimate the minimum metering limit divide the flow rates listed, by ten.
For gases or liquids with fluid properties not greatly different from the calibration media, tables apply directly, when
working pressure and temperature are also approximately standard.
Where the above conditions do not apply the maximum flow rates of the metered fluids are converted to equivalent
standard flow rates of air or water.
To do this calculate K as shown in charts, multiply the maximum flow rate with this factor, and select the appropriate flow tube size from the Flow Capacity tables 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (pages 55 to 58).

CALCULATION VS. CALIBRATION FOR P, Px, S, T and Tx METERS

It is very important that the correction factors as calculated from the accompanying equations are used for sizing
only. These relationships are greatly simplified and will not provide precise predictable flow corrections. It is always
best practice to calibrate meters for non-standard conditions on site, by using reliable means of calibration.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

In case of liquid flows at each major point along the scale, sample volumes are collected in a buret of a volumetric
flask during measured time intervals. Volumes are interpolated to a unit of time such as for example [mL/min] or [cu.
ft/hr] etc. A table or a graph is then constructed to establish a complete set of calibration data. In case of gas flows,
calibration data can be similarly developed, except that collection of sample volumes is accomplished by means of
gas sampling devices, the simplest of which is a soap bubble meter.
