The CoolPoint vortex shedding flowmeter (photo, p. 63) is offered with a temperature transmitter for measuring and monitoring both flow and temperature in processing water, water with chemicals added, water-glycol coolant and corrosive fluids. The flow bodies are available in brass for water and coolant, and in stainless steel for corrosive fluids and water with chemicals added. Models with the temperature transmitter are available in pipe sizes ranging from 3/4 in. (maximum flowrate 25 gal/min) to 4 in. (maximum flowrate of 600 gal/min). These meters provide temperature readouts ranging from 32°F to 210°F, which can be expressed in either degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius on the local LED readout. A temperature accuracy of ±1% FS is standard. The CoolPoint flowmeter is an electronic meter that has no moving parts to stick or coat. The meter is sold by pipe size, and all other features are selectable by pushing buttons on the meter face. Selections include a set point for flow and temperature alarm. — Universal Flow Monitors, Inc., Hazel Park, Mich.
