SIKA Variable Area Flow Meters
Series VS1
Series VS3

DESCRIPTION:

Possible areas of application
SIKA Variable area flow meters are used for monitoring flow rates in application areas such as:

• Water treatment
• Monitoring cooling circuits

Function
SIKA variable area flow meters are used in pipelines and determine the volume flow of liquids or gases there. The flow meter consists of a conical measuring tube with a float inside it.

The measuring principle is based on the body being vertically deflected through the flowing medium. Various forces act on the float – the flow resistance, the buoyant force, as well as the weight force of the body.
In summary, if the volume flow rises, the float is lifted. The current flow is indicated on the scale at the top of the float.

These flow meters feature a water scale in l/h and a % scale as standard. Optional air scales are also available for various operating pressures. Two adjustable reference value indicators facilitate monitoring of the rate of flow. Limit contacts are available as accessories
