The Kobold TSK Series Flap Flow Meter is suitable for flow measurement of liquid products in pipes. The special advantage is that it can be used for all directions of flow. It shows the current flow rate in volume or mass per unit in time. The meter’s design makes it ideal for processes under difficult and adverse operating conditions. The devices are available with additional electrical equipment for process monitoring and control.
If a medium flows with sufficient velocity through the horizontally or vertically mounted TSK fitting, the paddle will swivel around the axle until the force of the medium and the opposing force of the paddle surface plus the spring tension establish equilibrium. The angular position or the position of equilibrium of the paddle in the measuring compartment is the measure for the flow. The encapsulated ring-type permanent magnet at the end of the paddle axis transmits this position to the scale and the optional electronic evaluators through the magnet tracking indicator system. This happens safely and without packing glands. The flow rates shown on the scale only apply to the calibrated medium or to a medium with the same physical characteristics.
Applications include:
Control of cooling- and flushing processes
Chemical industry
Water- and waste-water technology
Power-plants
