The Coolpoint vortex shedding flowmeter measures and monitors flows of water and low-viscosity fluids such as water-based machine coolant and water/glycol mixtures. The device is suitable for industrial applications such as machining, metal fabricating, plastic injection molding, heat treating, and resistance welding. Features include totalizing capability and a scaled pulse output, which is designed to increase the meter’s ability to measure, monitor, and control the total amount of liquid used in a process. Providing an accuracy of ۬ percent of actual flow, the meter offers a repeatability of ۫ percent of actual flow. This enhanced accuracy and repeatability ensures more efficient monitoring and control of cooling flows. The CoolPoint meter works to provide process control, production consistency, and quality continuity in shaping and fabricating metal. In machining applications, the unit transmits water-based coolants, including recycled and filtered coolant that may contain particles. To eliminate the potential for clogging, the vortex shedding meter has no moving parts to stick or coat. The meter’s repeatability and accuracy ensures consistency in cooling water flows in injection molding applications. In heat treating applications, the unit ensures consistent flows of cooling water or quenching water to transformers, cables, coils, and other induction heating equipment. In resistance welding applications, the meter can be used to efficiently cool weld electrode tips, cables, and transformers. The Coolpoint meter is available in sizes ranging from 1/4 to 2 in., and provides flow rates ranging from 4/10 to 200 gal per minute. Users can specify pipe size when ordering and can select all other features via buttons on the meter face. Prices range from $350 for the 1/4 in. model to $700 for the 2 in. model.
