The F I Gardex flowmeter is a robust device for measuring and monitoring the flow of liquid and gaseous media in any flow direction. The measured value is indicated on a scale, and is optionally available via contact switches or a current output. Standard scales are available for liquids with a density of 1 kg/l (62.43 lbs/cu.ft). The accuracy corresponds to ±3% of the full-scale value. When selecting the size, it is recommendable for the normal flow (operating point) to be approx. 75% of the maximum flow listed in Table (see Technical data). • Product scale for liquids and gases • Simple installation resulting from rugged sandwich design • Can be optionally fitted with limit contact and remote transmitter. The sensor of the F I Gardex flowmeter consists of a baffle plate with balance beam and operates according to the deflection method. The baffle plate causes a back-pressure in the medium, and the balance beam is deflected. This movement is transmitted via the beam to the indicator mechanism using a bellows bushing. A gear unit converts the deflection of the balance beam into a rotary movement of the pointer. The pointer movement is damped by an eddy-current brake. The bellows bushing isolates the measured medium from the display unit.
