Q. | How does this meter work? |
A. | The only moving part is a turbine rotor. It has tiny
magnets in four of its blades. Inside the “insert”, or turbine rotor support,
is a pickup, isolated from the fluid. It detects the small magnetic field
passing by and switches. The resulting frequency signal can be used directly
(e.g. sent to a programmable controller) or processed into a built in
rate/total indication by an electronic register, which is our FT420.

Q. | Is this epoxy coated? |
A. | The standard coating is a dipped shopcoat, with no
special corrosion resistant properties. This meter is really designed
for applications which use ordinary carbon steel piping. However, the
insert is CF8M, the cast equivalent of T316 stainless steel, which protects
this critical component from corrosion. The rotor is Kynar.
