These inline vortex-shedding flowmeters have no moving parts to clog or wear out, ensuring life-long reliability and minimizing maintenance requirements. They are suitable for monitoring water, water/glycol coolant, and other low-viscosity fluids, and their no-moving-parts design enables them to monitor media containing small particulates without compromising accuracy. They can handle flows of 4–200 gal/min, with occasional over-ranging up to 125% of capacity without damaging the meter, and have 4–20-mA flowrate transmitters. The meters are designed to withstand working pressures of 10–300 psig and to operate efficiently at fluid and ambient temperatures from 35°F to 150°F. They are CSA- and CE-certified, and are built with a stainless steel or bronze body, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) sensors, and fluoroelastomer seals.
