Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Returning your flowmeter for servicing or calibration Before sending your flowmeter back to us, for servicing or calibration, make sure it is completely clean. Any residues of substances that could be hazardous to the environment or human health are to be removed from all crevices, recesses, gaskets, and cavities of the housing before the device is shipped.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 4. Application The V31 variable area flow-meter is used for the flow metering of transparent liquid and gas media in pipes. The scale on the device indicates the flow rate expressed as a volume or mass per unit of time. Standard scales are available for liquids with a density of 1kg/l (62.43 lb/cu.ft).
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 5. Operating Principle and System Configuration The measuring instrument composes of a float and a conical glass tube (M) A medium flows from the bottom to the top through the measuring ring, lifting the float in the process until the buoyancy force (A) and the weight of the float (Gs) establish equilibrium.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Float Types There are three types of floats on offer: The following viscosity limits require a viscosity-stable float: Contacts The bistable magnetic contacts K17A, K17B, K33 and K33i show the position of the float, thus indicating the measured value in a non-reactive and contact-free means.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 5.3.3 Adjusting and wiring of the limit switches When ordered, the limit switches are factory set at the ordered values. They can however be adjusted to suit the operators requirements. For re-adjusting an M4 nut (SW7) must be released until the clamping position can be adjusted. Now the limit switch can be slid into a its new position.

Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Characteristic Values – limit switches 6.3.1 K17 A/B – limit switches • K17 A: Contact is made when the current value falls below the limit value • K17 B: Contact is made when the current value exceeds the limit value Caution: The maximum switching capacity and the maximum permissible peak inrush current must not be exceeded.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 6.3.3 K33i – limit switches The K33i contact is an inductive contact that makes or breaks a circuit when the current value reaches the set value Warning: The maximum stated operating voltage must not be exceeded, otherwise the sensor will be destroyed.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 7. Installation and Condition for use Operating Conditions / Installation 7.1.1 Installation conditions The device should be operated pursuant to the stipulations of VDE/VDI Code 3513, sh. 3. Measurable media are: 1) Liquids that exhibit sufficient flowability are devoid of solids, do not bond and do not tend to settle.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 7.1.5 Gas metering When metering gas, the operating pressure should be increased gradually. Use the control valve to vary the pressure in such a way that the float is not shock impacted against the side of the glass tube. Such an impact can result in a breakage of the glass-tube.
