Universal Flow Monitors, Inc. introduces larger sizes of its CoolPoint™ vortex shedding flowmeter for measuring and monitoring higher flows of water and coolant in industrial machinery.The CoolPoint™ meter is offered in two new pipe sizes: 3 inches, which provides a flow rate of 300 gallons per minute, and 4 inches, with a flow rate of 600 gallons per minute.
These larger sizes join the CoolPoint™ line which also includes pipe sizes ranging from 1/4 inch to 2 inches, providing flow rates ranging from .4 (four-tenths) of a gallon per minute to 200 gallons per minute.CoolPoint™ flowmeters are designed to provide consistent flows of water, water-based machine coolant and water/glycol mixture. Repeatability is +/-1 percent of actual flow, and accuracy is +/-2 percent of actual flow. This high repeatability and accuracy provide consistency in cooling loops using low viscosity, clean or dirty water-like liquids compatible with brass, PVDF and Viton.
Applications include most process industries.For flow applications involving heat removal, CoolPoint™ flowmeters have the added capability of monitoring temperature readings and transmitting them to a process controller. As an option, CoolPoint™ units in 3/4 inch through 4 inch pipe sizes can provide temperature readings ranging from 32 degrees F to 210 degrees F, which can be expressed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius on the local LED readout.Totalizing capability is a feature of CoolPoint™ units. The meters have a scaled pulse output as a standard selectable option.
This scaled pulse output increases their ability to measure, monitor and control the total amount of liquid used in a process.CoolPoint™ flowmeters are easy to specify, install and use. They are sold by pipe size, and all other features are selectable by pushing buttons on the meter face.The meters are built for effective measurement of recycled and filtered coolant that may contain particles.
The electronic meter has no moving parts to stick or coat, thereby eliminating potential for clogging.CoolPoint™ flowmeters continue to be economically priced.
Prices for the new units are $1,500 (U.S.) for the 3 inch, 300 GPM size and $1,800 (U.S.) for the 4 inch, 600 GPM size.
CalPoint™ meters, the version of CoolPoint™ with temperature transmitters, are an additional $300 (U.S.) to reflect the temperature transmission capability.Universal Flow Monitors, Inc., located in Hazel Park, Mich., has manufactured flowmeters for a variety of industries for more than 20 years.
