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.

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.

Accurately measure the flow rate of clean, non-aerated liquids like water, chemicals, and oils in full pipes. Ultrasonic transducers mount on the outside of a pipe without shutting down flow. Flow rate is displayed on the large, backlit display along with totalizer and signal strength. Use the built-in control relays for flow alarms or flow proportionate pulse. Connect the isolated 4-20mA output to PLC's or controllers.

Model 6.1 works on a wide range of pipe sizes and materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, cast iron, PVC, PVDF, fiberglass, copper, brass, aluminum and pipes with bonded liners including epoxy, rubber and Teflon.

Model 6.1 Transit Time Flowmeter operates by measuring the “transit time” or “time of flight” for ultrasonic sound pulses transmitted from one transducer to another. Depending on the mounting configuration, the signal may cross the pipe once, twice or four times. To measure flow the transit time is compared between ultrasonic signals travelling upstream and downstream.

Standard Features Include:
pair SE16B ultrasonic transducers - clamp-on for 1/2” to 48” (12 mm to 1200 mm) pipes and rated non-incendive for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C & D locations

power input - 100-240VAC 50/60Hz, 4 Watts maximum (optional 9-32VDC 10W)
electrical surge protection and RFI filters - AC, sensor, 4-20mA

How it works

Transit Time transducers typically operate in the 1-2 MHz frequencies. Higher frequency designs are normally used in smaller pipes and lower frequencies for large pipes up to several meters in diameter. So operators must select transducer pairs/frequencies according to the application. Doppler transducers usually operate at 640 kHz to 1 MHz frequencies and work on a wide range of pipe diameters.
Transit Time Flowmeter with Two Ultrasonic Sensors     Transit Time flowmeters must have a pair of transducers, each containing a piezo-electric crystal. One transducer transmits sound while the other acts as a receiver.
As the name suggests, Transit Time flowmeters measure the time it takes for an ultrasonic signal transmitted from one sensor, to cross a pipe and be received by a second sensor. Upstream and downstream time measurements are compared. With no flow, the transit time would be equal in both directions. With flow, sound will travel faster in the direction of flow and slower against the flow. Because the ultrasonic signal must cross the pipe to a receiving transducer, the fluid must not contain a significant concentration of bubbles or solids. Otherwise the high frequency sound will be attenuated and too weak to traverse the pipe.

Α flowmeter for difficult liquids, corrosive chemicals, viscus liquids, wastewater, slurries, sludge, etc

Non Intrusive - Doppler Model 6.1

Doppler Model 6.1 is ideal for "difficult liquids" that would damage regular flow meters - wastewater, slurries, sludge, chemicals, viscous liquids and abrasives. There is no obstruction to flow and no pressure drop. The standard, strap-on ultrasonic sensor fits any pipe 1/2" (12.5 mm) Inside Diameter or larger. The electronics/display enclosure can be mounted nearby.

Use the isolated 4-20mA to transmit flow to remote displays, recorders or controllers. The 2 programmable relays can be used for flow control, pump protection or flow proportionate pulse. Calibration is easy with the built-in 5-key calibrator. Display and totalize flow in your choice of engineering units (gallons, liters etc.)

Sensor cable can be extended up to 500 ft. (152 m) with no loss of signal. Model 6.1 can be equipped with intrinsic safety barriers for sensor installation in hazardous rated locations. Other options include high temperature sensors.

Doppler Model 6.1 includes a new digital signal processor to filter background noise and interference and to measure flow rates between 0.2 to 40 ft/sec (0.06 to 12.2 m/sec) with accuracy of ±2% of full scale on liquids with entrained particles or gases of 100 microns or larger and minimum concentrations of 75 ppm. The flow meter operates with a single-head flow sensor mounted externally on any contiguous pipe material that conducts sound including: carbon steel, stainless steel, ductile iron, copper, FRP, PVC, ABS, or cement lined pipe from 1/2" to 180" (12.5 mm to 4.5 m) ID.

How it Works

Doppler Model 6.1 Ultrasonic flow meters measure flow from outside a pipe with a strap-on sensor. Doppler Model 6.1 meters continuously transmit high frequency sound (640 kHz) that travels through the pipe wall and into the flowing liquid. Sound is reflected back to the sensor from solids or bubbles in the fluid. If the fluid is in motion, the echoes return at an altered frequency proportionate to flow velocity. Model 6.1 flow meters continuously measure this frequency shift to calculate flow.

The Doppler technique only works on liquids which contain solids or gas bubbles to reflect its signal. These are "difficult" liquids that may damage regular flow meters: slurries, sludge, wastewater, abrasives, viscous and corrosive chemicals. Because the sensor mounts on the outside of the pipe, there is no pressure drop and no obstruction to flow.

For best performance Doppler sensors should be mounted away from turbulence creating devices like pipe elbows and tees, and away from velocity increasing devices like controlling valves and pumps. Typical accuracy is ±2% of full scale.

Open Channel Ultrasonic Flow Measuring Systems

Open Channel Flow Monitor - Model OC5

Continuously monitor, display, totalize and data log flow through any flume or weir. The OC 5.0 includes a non-contacting ultrasonic sensor that mounts just 8" (203.2 mm) above the flowing water. It is accurate (±0.25%) and reliable. There is no obstruction to flow and no fouling. Use the built-in Keypad/menu system to select your flume or weir from the Menu and to choose measurement units (gallons, liters etc.)

The OC 5.0 includes built-in 2-million point Data Logger and flow reporting system. Connect a flash memory stick to the flowmeter's USB output to download log files and then view your data in graph and table formats with 'Logger' software – supplied free with each OC 5.0. Daily flow reports including minimum, maximum, average and total daily flow can be viewed directly on the backlit OC 5.0 LCD display.

Use the isolated 4-20mA to transmit flow to remote chart recorders or displays, and the control relays are programmable for level/flow alarm, and flow proportionate pulse (for samplers, chlorinators or remote totalizers). An Intrinsic Safety Barrier is optional for sensor and cable installation in hazardous rated locations. The separate, watertight electronics/display enclosure is mounted at a convenient location within 500 ft (150 m) of the sensor.

•  Non-Contacting Ultrasonic Sensor
•  Accurate and Verifiable
•  Built-in 2 million point Data Logger
•  USB and RS232 Outputs

Area-Velocity Flow Monitor- Model-5.0

Monitor flow through open channels, partially full sewer pipes and surcharged pipes without a flume or weir. Ideal for stormwater, combined effluent, raw sewage, irrigation water and streams.
Model 5,0 uses a submerged ultrasonic sensor to continuously measure both Velocity and Level in the channel. The sensor is a completely sealed ultrasonic unit with no orifices or ports. It mounts inside a pipe or at the bottom of a rectangular, trapezoid or egg-shaped channel. Calibration is simple: enter the pipe diameter or channel width and Model-5 computes the flow volume and displays the flow rate.

Features

• For Open Channels and Pipes
• Ultrasonic - Measures Velocity + Level to Calculate Flow
• No Flume or Weir required
• 3 Isolated 4-20mA Outputs (Flow, Level and Velocity)
• Totalizer and 2 Programmable Control Relays
• Simple 3-key Calibration - Password Protected
• Optional Intrinsically Safe Sensor
• Optional built-in 2 million point Data Logger and Software

This flow meter is recommended for pipe diameters greater than 6" (150 mm). Maximum pipe diameter or channel width should not exceed 10 ft (3 m) unless flow velocity is evenly distributed across the channel width. Avoid sensor mounting locations where sediment builds up and locations where there is an elevation drop or bend immediately upstream from the sensor. Maximum pipe or channel slope should not exceed 3%.

The flow meter  measures flow velocity from 0.1 to 20 ft/sec (0.03 to 6.2 m/sec) and reverse flow up to 5 ft/sec (1.5 m/sec)

How it Works

The ultrasonic sensor is installed at the bottom of a pipe or channel. To measure water level the sensor transmits ultrasonic pulses that travel through the water and reflect off the liquid surface. The instrument precisely measures the time it takes for echoes to return to the sensor. Based on the speed of sound in water, the level is measured with accuracy of ±0.25%.

Flow velocity is measured with an ultrasonic Doppler signal continuously injected into the water. This high frequency sound (640 KHz) is reflected back to the sensor from particles or bubbles suspended in the liquid. If the fluid is in motion, the echoes return at an altered frequency proportionate to flow velocity. With this technique the instrument measures flow velocity with accuracy of ±2%.

A separate down-looking ultrasonic sensor can be used for highly aerated or turbulent flow applications. It measures level by transmitting ultrasonic pulses through the air to the liquid surface with accuracy of ±0.25%. Along with the level sensor, a submerged Doppler velocity sensor is used to measure the water velocity.
