Made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), these flowrate transmitters offer heat resistance in processing corrosive fluids, water, brine and low-viscosity fluids in water treatment, chemical and desalination applications. The P420 Series (photo) offers a wide selection of cost-effective plastic flowmeters without moving parts that can stick, bind or coat when processing water or corrosives. P420 vortex-shedding meters with CPVC body, sensor and bluff can transmit hot water or other fluids with maximum operating temperature of 180°F, compared to a maximum of 140°F with PVC units. Five pipe diameters from 0.5 to 2 in. are offered, providing flowrates from 12 to 200 gal/min. — Universal Flow Monitors, Inc., Hazel Park, Mich.
