This table shows the maximum flow capacities for different LIQUI-VIEW Base models in several flow units. Please note, these capacities are all shown for Water. Use Fluidat on the Net to calculate to other flow units.
When positioning the instrument in vertical position make sure that the piping/tube is always completely filled with water.
When there is an shut off valve on the bottom make sure not to open the valve in one motion.
This causes an free fall and causes air to come in to the tube, this causes a wrong measurement, counter pressure is advisable
The IP Rating (Ingress Protection Rating) of an instrument consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects including body parts like hands and fingers, dust, and accidental contact (the first digit after IP), and water (the second digit after IP) in electrical enclosures.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) in the United States also publishes protection ratings for enclosures similar to the IP rating system published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). NEMA however also dictates other product features not addressed by IP codes, such as corrosion resistance, gasket aging, and construction practices.
For this reason while it is possible to map IP Codes to NEMA ratings that satisfy or exceed the IP Code criteria, it is not possible to map NEMA ratings to IP codes, as the IP Code does not mandate the additional requirements.
In general, vortex meters are sensitive to vibrations and impact shocks. Therefore vibrations and impact shocks should be prevented in the neighbourhood of the meter.
Water and all water like liquids which are not flammable, corrosive or toxic.
With the following definitions we are able to correct the influence of media with higher viscosity than water (= media viscosit y > 1.8 cST) in order to reach a measuring accuracy of 3% fs in the range of 1.8 – 4 cST and of 4% in the range of 4 – 14 cSt (υ= viscosity in cSt).
A Kármán vortex street is a term for a repeating pattern of swirling vortices caused by the unsteady separation of flow of a fluid over bluff bodies. It is named after the engineer and fluid dynamicist, Theodore von Kármán.
