A flowmeter for precise measurement of hydraulic fluid
The HM-U Hydraulic System Flow Meter (photo) is a cost-effective and versatile turbine-style flowmeter that measures hydraulic fluids for precise regulation and control of flowrates in hydraulic systems. It is optimized for hydraulic performance applications and ideal for components such as pumps, valves and fittings. The HM-U Hydraulic System Flow Meter performs in temperature ranges from –40°F (–40°C) to 248°F (120°C) and offers accuracy of±0.5% M.V. over its full range with 30-cP fluid. Two integrated 0.25-in. BSPP (British standard parallel pipe) connections allow users to install their own temperature and/or pressure transmitters for optional measurement. Compact and lightweight, the flowmeter features a durable aluminum housing with stainless steel internals. The HM-U Hydraulic System Flow Meter is compatible with this company’s EDGE Flow Sensor that offers Bluetooth capabilities, providing users easy access, understanding and control of their flow measurement. Easily mounted on the turbine flowmeter, the EDGE Flow Sensor outputs a frequency, current, or analog signal that gives users more installation flexibility, especially when unsure of readout equipment or a control room interface. — AW-Lake, Oak Creek, Wis.
