Fluidwell F126-EL Flow Computer with Temperature Compensation

The Fluidwell F126-EL Flow Computer with Temperature Compensation has been developed to calculate corrected liquid volume at normal conditions. The corrected volumetric flow is calculated by measuring the uncorrected volumetric flow and actual line temperature which is processed with the thermal expansion coefficient algorithm stored in the flow computer. The reference temperature can be defined as desired (e.g. 15°C, 20°C or 60°F).

The display shows the compensated flow rate, total, accumulated total and the actual line temperature. On-screen engineering units like Nm³ are easily configured from a comprehensive selection.

Applications

Applications where net flow calculation of liquids at normal conditions is desired without the influence of thermal product expansion.
The F-Series is your first and best choice for field mount indicators in safe and hazardous area applications. Especially in harsh weather conditions like rain, snow, sandy deserts, salty atmospheres and temperatures between -40°C up to +80°C (-40°F up to 176°F).
