Multi-tube flowmeter range launched by Aalborg
An
Aalborg product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Sep 21, 2009
The Model P flowmeter from Aalborg is suitable for metering carrier gases in chromatography and indicating and controlling gases in manufacturing processes.
It is also used for liquid and gas measurement in laboratories, pilot plants, flow and level indicating and more.
The 65mm meter with MFVTM valve (left) and 150mm meter with CVTM valve.
The instrument is shipped completely assembled and includes standard mounting fittings in a choice of materials, side plates, thick protective magnifying front shield and back plate, optional built-in valve, and flow tubes selected from the Flow Capacities tables.
Panel mounting style is convertible to bench mounting through the use of the optional acrylic tripod.
The tripod has a built-in spirit leveller and levelling screws.
Meters are available with built-in needle valves (CVTM), high-precision metering valves (MFVTM) with 'non-rising stems', or with no 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.
Generally, for gas metering it is recommended that valves are positioned at inlets (bottom) - for liquids, valves may be positioned either at inlets or outlets (top).
For vacuum services, valves must be mounted at outlets.
If unspecified at the time of ordering, meters will be shipped with valves mounted at the inlets.
The Model Px multiple-tube flowmeter line is said to offer the convenience and simplicity of two, three, four, five and six tube meters, retaining most of the design features associated with single-tube units.
Multiple tube meters are available with 65mm or 150mm flow tubes - the same as those used in single-unit flow meters.
Px meters are claimed to be convenient for applications where several streams of gases or liquids are to be metered in individual channels, or manifolded.
