Turbine Flowmeter Suitable For Heavy Equipment Flow Technology has launched the FT-HE (heavy equipment) turbine flowmeter solution designed for hydraulic fluid applications. The company's FT series turbine meters are now offered with SAE J1453 fittings with O-ring face seal, which is said to simplify installation in hydraulic lines onboard tractors, combines and other heavy equipment. In the off-road industry, there is an increasing emphasis on reducing both the number of potential leakage points and the incidence of leakage from hydraulics systems on machinery. This requirement is addressed by the SAE J1453 standard covering material, dimensional, and performance requirements of steel O-ring face seal fittings for hydraulic tubing, as well as the O-ring face seal interface and nut portion of hose stem assemblies. The FT-HE solution is said to provide accurate and repeatable flow measurements in a host of hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Units employing SAE J1453 flat-fa...

Flowline Reveals Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter Flowline has introduced the Ultraflux UF801-P portable ultrasonic flowmeter. It incorporates dual processors that increase the speed of signal acquisition and accuracy of measurement to +/-0.5 per cent. The UF801-P is ideal for diagnostic and flow monitoring duties in all water and waste applications. The non-invasive external probes are simply clamped onto the pipe for immediate measurement. The unit can be used on pipe diameters from 10mm up to 10m, includes an integral logger with a data capacity of over six months at two-minute intervals, and has a 14-hour battery life. Operation and set-up can be carried out using the integral keypad or via software, while the digital signal processing feature using multiple processors enhances response times. External input options can now be included, such as current, voltage, pulse, frequency, and RTD input for heat metering. The programming and set include multi-parameter inputs, including u...
