EMCO's
"Family of Flowmeters" includes a wide range of
flow measurement technologies for use in commercial, industrial,
and municipal applications. The technologies are Inline
and Insertion Vortex, Inline and Insertion Turbine, Electromagnetic,
Ultrasonic, and Positive Displacement. Accuracy from ±
0.25% of rate and repeatability ± 0.1% of rate depending
on the technology.
| Vortex:
Vortex
PhD and V-Bar flowmeters measure process fluids by
detecting the frequency at which vortices are shed
from an obstruction in the process fluid line (the
bluff body). Piezoelectric sensors mounted outside
the flow line acts as the transducer, converting vortex
pulses into electrical signals. This is considered
a "No moving parts" flowmetering technology.
"Smart" electronics provide excellent noise
immunity with provide a number of different electrical
outputs proportional to the flow rate. These meters
are available in two different styles. The first is
an inline version, for line sizes 1" to 12",
with a wide range of wetted materials. The second
is an insertion version, for line sizes 3" to
80", and can be installed and removed without
line shutdown. All the meters are designed for low
and high pressure and temperature applications. |
| Turbine:
Turboline
and Turbo-Bar flowmeters measure flow by generating
an AC signal in direct response to the passage of
the process fluid past the turbine blades. The blades
rotate past a pick-up coil, the magnetic flux lines
are broken and a small voltage pulse is generated.
The turbine spins in direct proportion to flow. Because
the turbine spins in proportion to the flow the measurements
are extremely accurate. Electronics provide excellent
noise immunity with provide a number of different
electrical outputs proportional to the flow rate.
These meters are available in two different styles.
The first is an inline version, for line sizes ½"
to 2 ½". The second is an insertion version,
for line sizes 3" to 80", and can be installed
and removed without line shutdown. All the meters
are designed for low and high pressure and temperature
applications. |

Electromagnetic:
MAGFLO
flowmeters employ Faraday's law to measure the volumetric
flow rate of conductive liquids. These flowmeters
offer important advantages over other technologies
such as: no pressure drop, no moving parts, high accuracy
and a wide variety of materials of construction. No
maintenance, low cost of ownership, and high reliability
make the electromagnetic flowmeter the flowmeter of
choice for many flow measurement applications. Electronics
provide a number of different electrical outputs proportional
to the flow rate. These meters can be configured to
measure flow in both directions. Meters are available
in sizes from ½" to 80". Flanged
and wafer style bodies and Tri-Clamp end connections. |
| Ultrasonic:
Sono-Trak
is a non-invasive, transit-time ultrasonic flowmeter,
which uses two transducers operating as both transmitter
and receivers. The transducers are mounted on the
outside of the process pipe, one upstream and one
downstream. Each transducer generates a high frequency
ultrasonic signal, which is transmitted through the
pipe wall and into the fluid.Withboth transducers
operating simultaneously, the fluid velocity determines
the difference in transit time of the upstream and
downstream signals. Advanced digital processing is
used to accurately calculate the average flow rate.
The meter can be programmed for Bi-directional flow
with a number of different electronic outputs. |
| Positive
Displacement Piston:
PDP
flowmeters measure process fluid flow by utilizing
four pistons driven by the flow of the fluid. The
pistons drive a crankshaft through connecting rods
in a fashion similar to a radial internal combustion
engine. The rotational velocity of the crankshaft
is directly proportional to the volumetric flow rate
through the flowmeter. The crankshaft is equipped
with a four-pole magnet element, which drives a magnetically
coupled photo optic transmitter to provide the required
output signal. Piston meters are designed for low
flow and a wide range of viscosities. A number of
different electronic outputs are available. |
| Positive
Displacement Helix:
PDH
flowmeters measure process fluid flow by utilizing
two uniquely nested, counter rotating helical rotors
as the measuring element. The rotors rotate in a synchronous
fashion forming "moving pockets" of fluid,
transporting the fluid through the flowmeter. The
rotational velocity of the rotors is directly proportional
to the number of transported pockets and, thus, the
volumetric flow rate through the flowmeter. The flowmeter
is equipped with a spur gear mounted on each rotor
and a magnetic pickup coil. The rotation of the gear
by the pickup breaks the magnetic flux, generating
an AC pulse output directly proportional to the flow
rate. Sizes range from 1 ½" to 12"
for use in a wide liquid viscosity range. A number
of different electrical outputs are available. |
