Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
BULLETIN F-55
Series HF Flow Monitors combine the
simplicity of a sharp edged orifice disk with a
variable area flow monitor to provide a low cost
way to measure flow at high pressures. These
monitors are tubular, with all internal wetted parts
sealed within the body casing. Running through
the body is a tapered shaft which is centered in
the bore by pilot disks at each end. Surrounding
the shaft are a sharp-edged floating orifice disk,
a transfer magnet and return spring. The disk
and transfer magnet are held in the “no flow”
position by a biased return spring. As flow moves
through the monitor, it creates a differential
pressure at the orifice disk forcing the disk and
transfer magnet against the return spring. As
flow increases, the differential pressure at the
disk increases, forcing the disk and transfer
magnet to move along the tapered center shaft.
As flow decreases, the biased return spring
forces the disk and transfer magnet down the
center shaft, returning to the “no flow” position.
In metal casing monitors, disk and magnet
movement are not visible so a magnet follower is
located outside the body casing, magnetically
coupled to the internal transfer magnet. As flow
increases, motion of the internal magnet moves
the magnet follower outside the body casing,
under the scale.
