Accurate flow measurement
Alfa Laval flow meters are hygienic flow measuring instruments that enable accurate detection of liquid levels in membrane filtration modules and plants. Easy-to-read scales located in front of the tubes provide excellent visibility of the indicating floats.
Hygienic flow meter design
Feature a precision-machined tapered glass metering tube with a smooth surface. All materials comply with US Food and Drug Administration regulations, and all product-wetted parts are made of AISI 316L stainless steel and polysulphone. The flow meters are designed to withstand process temperatures between 0 and +100°C (+32 and 212°F).
Flow meter range
Available in four nominal diameters, covering flow ranges from 60 l/h up to 20,000 l/h (16 – 5,283 U.S. gal/h) and pressures up to 16 bar (232 psi).
Alfa Laval Flow Meter Application
Ideal for measuring feed, permeate, retentate, and diawater flows in membrane filtration modules and plants. Made in a hygienic design. All materials comply with FDA regulations, and all product wetted parts are made of stainless steel (AISI 316L) and polysulfone. For float materials, please refer to the table overleaf.
Working principle
A float is elevated in the tapered glass metering tube in proportion to the fluid flow. Readings are taken from the scale on the metering tube. The scale shows the flow as a percentage of maximum flow (100% = max. flow). Different floats can be used with the same flow meter, thus making it possible to use it for a number of flow ranges.
Options
Flow meters for higher flow.
