Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary applications for Tecfluid variable area flowmeters?
Tecfluid variable area flowmeters (rotameters) are widely used for the measurement of liquid and gas flows in the chemical, water treatment, and pharmaceutical industries. Their simple, robust mechanical design provides reliable, direct-reading flow indication without the need for external power.
How do Tecfluid electromagnetic flowmeters handle corrosive fluids?
Tecfluid electromagnetic flowmeters are available with a variety of specialized internal linings, such as PTFE or hard rubber, and corrosion-resistant electrodes like Hastelloy or Titanium. This allows them to accurately measure highly aggressive chemicals and abrasive slurries with excellent long-term durability.
Can Tecfluid ultrasonic level transmitters be used in explosive atmospheres?
Yes, Tecfluid offers specific models of ultrasonic level transmitters that are ATEX certified for use in hazardous areas. These intrinsically safe instruments provide non-contact, continuous level measurement in tanks containing volatile solvents or fuels.
What is the operating principle of Tecfluid oscillating piston flowmeters?
Tecfluid oscillating piston flowmeters utilize a positive displacement principle where a piston oscillates within a measuring chamber of known volume. This technology ensures highly accurate, repeatable measurement of viscous liquids, such as oils and resins, regardless of flow profile variations.
Does Tecfluid offer custom flow measurement solutions for specific OEM applications?
Tecfluid maintains strong in-house engineering and manufacturing capabilities, allowing them to adapt standard products or design entirely custom flow and level solutions. This flexibility is highly valued by OEMs requiring specialized materials, process connections, or specific performance parameters.
