Users who need to measure the flow of specialty chemicals, food additives, adhesives, and other viscous fluids can try two new positive displacement flow solutions.
Both the Flow Fitting Type S070 and the Low-Flow Sensor Type 8071 are designed for closed pipe systems where they can control fluids, such as honey or oil, with a maximum viscosity of 1,000 centipoise. Applications with erratic flow rates are also appropriate.
The Type S070 is an oval gear flow fitting that connects to a number of Hall or reed switch sensors via a simple quarter-turn technique. With process connections of 1/2 to 3 in. (G or NPT) and up to 2 in. ANSI (flanged), this fitting handles blending, batching, mixing, or dispensing. The Type 8071 incorporates a non-intrusive Hall effect sensor and only two moving parts. Threaded process connections of 1/4 in. (G or NPT) make it suitable for small capacity low-to-medium flow applications.
