Trogflux

Plastic float-type flow meter

The high-grade transparent plastic measurement cones used allow the flow value to be read directly at media temperatures up to +60 °C . The universal female thread and adhesive connections permit problem-free process integration.

The device can also optionally be used for flow monitoring if equipped with one or more contact switches.

FAQ - Plastic float-type flow meter Trogflux

Do I need an inlet and outlet path?

Not required

Where to read the flow value?

The reading edge is at the place of the largest diameter of the float.

Can I install a float with magnet and contacts subsequently in an already bought device?

In principle this is possible. When using contacts, the float must be equipped with a magnet. Due to the different weight, a new calibration of the device should be carried out in-house.

What is the purpose of the two setpoint indicators?

They are used for individual marking of defined flow rates.

Can I use two scales on one device?

Yes, this is possible. One scale will be on the front and one on the back of the device.

Which parameters are mandatory to mention when placing an order?

When placing an order, it is essential to specify the medium, the density and viscosity at operating temperature and pressure. For gases, the exact Reference point of pressure (gauge pressure or absolute pressure) additionally required.

Which cleaning agent is required?

Although the devices are maintenance-free, it is recommended to regularly check the flow meter for signs of corrosion, mechanical wear and damage. We recommend routine checks at least once a year.

How is the unit cleaned?

For a detailed inspection and cleaning, the device must be removed from the pipeline. Contamination can lead to measurement errors under certain circumstances.
