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.

The sensors that Sigma offers are from the first category and are further subdivided in to impeller, ultrasonic and calorimetric.

IMPELLER FLOW SENSORS
Low-Flow Paddle Wheel Sensors

These versatile impeller flowmeters are availalble in 3/8", 1/2”, 3/4”, and 1" nominal pipe sizes with female NPT threads (SAE optional). They employ jewel bearings to allow for very low minimum flow rates and superior life.

  • Accurate at low flows
  • Simple and durable
  • Compatible with a variety of chemicals
  • Visual flow monitoring
  • Inexpensive
  • Six blade impeller
  • For small pipe sizes (3/8” to 1”)
  • Flow Rates from 0.27-18.9 Lit/min (0.07-5 Gal/min) to 0.5-40 Lit/min (1.9-150 Gal/min)

 

Flow Sensors with PVC Tee

The flow sensor features a six bladed impeller design with a proprietary, non magnetic sensing mechanism. The forward swept impeller shape provides higher, more constant torque than four bladed impeller designs and is less prone to be fouled by water borne debris. The forward curved shape coupled with the absence of magnetic drag provides improved operation and repeatability even at lower rates. This is more important where the impeller may exposed to metallic or rust particles found in steel or iron pipes. As liquid flow turns the impeller, a low impedance 8VDC square wave signal is transmitted with a frequency proportional to the flow rate. This signal can travel up to 600m (2000') between the sensor and the display unit without the need for amplification. All the sensors are supplied with 20' of Belden type 9320  (two conductor shield) cable and can be fitted in Tees from 1/2" up to 2" diameter.

100/200 series Paddle Wheel Flow Sensors

The 100/200 series of Paddle Wheel Flow Sensors are adjustable depth insertion paddlewheels that come in brass or 316 stainless models to fit 3” to 48” pipe. Installation fittings are standard 1-1/2" (101/201) NPT. Fittings such as saddles and weldolets may be purchased either locally or from us.

MAGMETER FLOW SENSORS
MAGMETER FLOW SENSOR EX80

Magmeters have the same form factor as paddle wheel sensors but replace the moving paddle wheel with a magnetic induction circuit. The absence of any moving parts makes these sensors perfect for dirty environments where debris would foul a paddle wheel sensor. As long as there is a minimum conductivity of 20 µS/cm the magmeter will work.

  • No moving parts to wear out
  • Dedicated fittings for simplicity
  • Retainer clip automatically sets correct depth
  • Rugged cast aluminum housing
  • Meter extends only about 1/8 of pipe diameter, minimizing potential for clogging with debris
  • Easy to install and easy to maintain
  • Pipe sizes 1" to 12"
  • Flow rate 0.28 - 20 ft/sec (0.08 - 6.09 m/sec)
