Unique Solution To Low Flow Monitoring Problems

100CS-X-TU.jpg

Rheotherm flow instruments offer a unique solution to low flow monitoring problems using a non-intrusive sensor design. Liquid flows from a few GPM down to 1 gallon/year can be precisely measured. Rheotherm flow monitors are ideal for continuously monitoring, controlling or providing on/off indication of all types of chemical additives. Sodium hypochlorite, liquid alum, ferric chloride, and various solvents are examples of liquids that can be monitored.

The key to these unique instruments is the TU sensor design, which features no moving parts, no obstruction of flow, and a corrosion resistant wetted surface. The fluid flow path is just a straight-through piece of tubing made of 316 stainless steel, or other corrosion resistant metals or alloys. All flow sensing elements are outside of the tube. These sensors cannot be damaged by overranging and require little or no maintenance.

The Rheotherm family of flow instruments, manufactured for over 20 years by Intek, Inc., include anything from a precision meter with an analog output and/or displays, to high reliability flow switches that provide an adjustable set point relay. Options include explosion-proof/intrinsically safe systems for Class I, Division 1 locations and high temperature sensors. For more information visit www.intekflow.com.
