This gives the volume measurement per pulse In flow meters of high resolution (VSI), each tooth is output as a multiple of (Vm) and is defined in cm /pulse.
2. The hydraulic properties of the system Is the max. operating pressure of the system lower than the max. permitted operating pressure of the flow meter? ‹ Is the max. fall of pressure ∆p (on flow meter) below the max. permitted fall of pressure? ‹...
flow and at the same time improves measurement accuracy. Block assembly: Flow meters of the “VSI” product line can be mounted directly onto a block or into the pipe line using four screws. Always select large cross sections The flow meter is directly mounted onto a subplate or manifold, extra...
• Cleaning and flushing of pipe lines before initial start-up Before initial start-up of the flow meter, you must flush and clean the whole for the corresponding information. VSE supplies bypass plates for all VSI- system. Contaminated fluid can effect the correct function of the flow meter flow meter sizes.
