Function Technical Details

The fluid flows from bottom to top through the meter tube Materials
of the flow meter. The float is lifted until an annular gap Measuring cone,
between the measuring cone and the float is produced which float, armature: stainless steel
corresponds to the flow. The forces acting on the float are in other materials on request
equilibrium.
Sealing: PTFE (special on request)
The height of the float resulting from the flow rate is transmitted
by the permanent magnet in the float through the magnetic Process connection: ¼" NPT (F), adapter for other connec-
tracking system in a rotation to the pointer axis of the analog tions available
indicator unit. special connections on request
The variable-area flowmeter consists of a stainless steel device Nominal pressure: PN 40 (KDS-K, C)
with an integrated conical stainless steel measuringtube and PN 63 (KDS-S)
a vertically movable float. The valve for setting the flow rate is optional up to 420 bar (KDS-S)
built-in (only KDS-K/C).
Accuracy
liquid/gas: ±3 % qG 50 acc. VDE/VDI 3513
