Flow - Liquids
Flow measuring of liquids is needed in many industries and in certain applications accurate flow measurement is so important that it can make the difference between profit and loss. Flow is classified into open channel flow and closed conduit flow. Most devices measure flow indirectly and are commonly divided into those that sense or measure velocity and those that measure pressure or head.
Sigma's flow meter range includes turbine, electromagnetic, coriolis, vortex, swirl, oval gear, ultrasonic, calorimetric, variable area, radar and micro wave.

Batch Controller Model 515
Α batch controller that covers most fluid batching requirements that use one or two stage control valves. Starting , stopping or setting the preset quantity for each batch can be achieved from the front keypad or further automated via serial communications. The hardware I/O caters for signals such as End Of Batch, Flow Alarm and Pulse Output. The state of the relays can be defaulted to either "open" or "closed".
The 515 Batch Controller is a dual stage batch controller for reliable measurement of preset quantities. Used as a single or dual stage controller it is suitable for fast batch applications. It provides the operator with clear local readout and can be controlled via communications in more automated systems. There is quick access to commonly used preset values directly from the front panel if access has been authorized.
Automatic overrun compensation caters for system delays such as valve closure for precise volumes. The instrument is compatible with a wide range of flowmeter signal outputs, including analogue 4 -20mA, millivolt signals, reed switches, Namur proximity switches and pulse trains via its smart front-panel program selection. Different versions are available for pulse/frequency or analogue outputs.

Technical data

-Viscosity from 1 to 10 cst
-Pressure resistant to 10 bar
-Communication: Modbus RS485
Operating Principle:
Turbine Flow Meters use the mechanical energy of the liquid to rotate a rotor in the flow stream. Fluid entering the meter first passes through an inlet flow straightener that reduces its turbulent flow pattern. As each turbine blade passes through the magnetic field generated by the meter's magnetic pickup, an AC voltage pulse is generated. These pulses provide an output frequency that is proportional to volumetric flow. The generated signal is converted into engineering units (liters, cubic meters, gallons etc.) on the local display where applicable. Optional accessory modules can be used to export the signal to other equipment.

RADAR FLOW METERING FOR STREAMS & RIVERS
Measurement principle
Sigma CC-WLSR radar current meter uses the Doppler effect to measure the surface flow velocity of the river. By emitting ISM24GHz electromagnetic waves, irradiating the river surface, the river back scatters the electromagnetic waves to obtain echoes, and measures the Doppler frequency shift of the echoes. river surface velocity. Therefore, during the measurement process, the device cannot be moved at will, and changing the orientation of the device will affect the measurement results.
When the flow rate of the river is too low, the water surface is relatively calm, then according to the principle of electromagnetic scattering, the back scattering of electromagnetic waves by the water surface is very weak, and the speed at this time can not be measured. At this time, the
surface flow meter will upload 0 speed to indicate the current working state. Therefore, radar tachometers are not suitable for measuring very calm fluid surfaces.
