Azbil SDR11F Elliptical Throat Flowmeter

Manufacturer: Azbil Corporation
Model: SDR11F

Feature

This flowmeter measures a wide variety of fluids, including liquids, slurry, and gases. Furthermore, it handles steam and solid-gas two-phase flows containing powders. The elliptical throat structure ensures a smooth flow pattern. Consequently, a large pressure tap prevents clogging during operation. Therefore, you can use this device for many different fluid types. Finally, technicians can mount it directly on a remote seal transmitter.

Summary

Smooth flow
The constriction features a half-elliptical shape for a streamlined profile. Specifically, the smooth front and rear sections contain nothing to impede the fluid. This design results in highly accurate and stable output. Furthermore, the flowmeter provides high repeatability for critical processes. Therefore, you gain consistent data across all operational cycles.
Low pressure loss

Pressure loss stays between 8% and 50% of the generated differential pressure. This loss remains significantly smaller than standard orifice plates. Consequently, the flowmeter consumes very little energy during operation. This efficiency allows the use of a smaller power source. Therefore, users reduce overall operational costs effectively.

Quick response
This flowmeter is highly responsive, which allows follow-up even when the fluid is pulsating (up to 1 Hz).
Compatible with wide a range of fluids
The pressure inlet has a larger diameter (10–14 mm) than the standard orifice. Due to this large diameter, which does not cause clogging, the flowmeter delivers stable measurement even with fluid containing adhesives or solid substances. Use in combination with 1/2B remote transmitter provides instrumentation without a connecting tube.
