3100 See-Flo® Indicator

See-Flo® indicators show you at a glance, the color, clarity and flow of liquids in process lines. An alloy vane indicator is flexed in proportion to flow through the variable area indicator housing. The large tempered glass window permits easy observation of fluid conditions and vane indicator position for a wide range of liquids in vertical or horizontal piping runs.
The wedge shape of the indicator housing makes the See-Flo® practically self-cleaning. Where periodic maintenance might be necessary, the window is easily removed and replaced. As it is intended to be used as a flow indicator, the scale is not calibrated in this model.
A special write-on surface is provided along the sweep of the indicator on which system reference points may be marked. This can help you establish normal operating limits, rate efficiency or balance a process system.

3200 See-Flo® Indicator

See-Flo® meters indicate flow rate and permit visual inspection of water, air or other transparent fluids. For general purpose industrial service, See-Flo® meters handle a wide range of process fluids in vertical or horizontal piping runs.
The wedge shape of the meter housing makes See-Flo® practically self-cleaning. Where periodic maintenance might be necessary, the tempered glass window is easily removed and replaced. Because of its large internal cavities this product will not plug up like the old glass tube "rotameters".
Each flowmeter is calibrated to be direct reading for the liquid or gas operating conditions that you specify. Scales with special engineering units and dual units of measure are available.

3400 Armor-Flo^tm meters

Measure liquid, gas or steam flow rates in horizontal or vertical pipelines. Armor-Flo^tm meters handle more aggressive fluids that cannot be measured with See-Flo® due to clarity, pressure or where process also requires limit switches or signal transmission.
Rare earth cobalt magnets are used to couple the flow isolated indicator with the vane. There are no shaft connections or stuffing boxes. The internal wedge shape of the Armor-Flo^tm housing is designed for self-cleaning. These features emphasize simplicity and reduce maintenance.
Each flowmeter is calibrated to be direct reading for a liquid or gas at it's operating conditions. The large indicator and dial are easy to read. Scales with special engineering units and dual units of measure are available.

3500 Armor-Flo^tm meter with Limit Switch

In addition to the performance benefits of the 3400 Series flow rate meter, the 3500 Series Armor-Flo^tm includes switching capabilities. Adjustable flow switches provide positive indication of flow/no flow conditions or may be positioned to establish process limits. In either application the switch captures the indicator preventing movement until the flow rate is within the acceptable range.

The glass encapsulated reed switches are SPDT rated at 0.25 amperes at 120vac (1.5 amperes at 24vdc). This switch is appropriate for use in Class I, Division 2 areas.

3600 Armor-Flo^tm meter with Signal Output

Here is a combination of signal transmission with independent mechanical local flow rate indication. Should your 24vdc loop go down, you will still be able to take flow rate readings at the meter.

By rotating the crank handle at the top of the probe, the turbine is lowered through the open ball valve into the stream. What an improvement over the "tighten down nuts on three threaded rods in rotation" method!
This instrument is ideal for periodic sampling or permanent installation. It is often used as a flow prover for other metering devices in large line sizes.

ERDCO 25 Series Turbo-Flo^tm Probe

Here is the precision of a turbine meter with insertion meter ease of use. The low mass non-metallic turbine rotates in direct proportion to fluid velocity and can provide local flow rate and total information with no external power required. 4-20 mA signal outputs are also available for control and automation functions.
The 25 Series range offers high performance non-metallic materials of construction like DuPont Delrin® and PVC that are also more economical than stainless steel. Delrin is a particularly good choice for water applications and due to its high natural lubricity, it resists coating from organics and mineral salts. We recommend PVC construction for use in PVC piping systems.
Probe lengths for use in up to 10 inch diameter pipe sizes are available. A full compliment of instrumentation for indication of flow rate, totalization and control functions are available.

HP-302 Open Stream Velocity Meter

The HP-302 is a hand held turbine meter intended for field use. The turbine, when immersed in a flowing stream, rotates at a speed in direct linear proportion to the fluid velocity. A pulse signal is produced with each rotation of the turbine.
The patented design of the turbine and shroud offer unique capabilities. In combination, turbine and shroud are highly directional, enabling detection of stream patterns as well as measurement of velocity. By adjustment of a pivot, the turbine may be rotated over 90 degrees for a vertical velocity measurement and insertion into pipe discharge ends. Small size permits measurement of streams as shallow as 1.5 inches. In addition to the 3 foot probe, extensions may be used for an overall reach of 21 feet enabling sewer surveys from street level.

Flow Factor sells Sump Pumps Systems

A sump pump is used in applications where excess rainwater or groundwater needs to be pumped away from a particular area. A sump pump sits inside a basin (also known as a sump) that collects this excess water.

A sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a water collecting sump basin, commonly found in the basement of homes. The water may enter via the perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system, funneling into the basin or because of rain or natural ground water, if the basement is below the water table level.

Sump pumps are used where basement flooding happens regularly and to remedy dampness where the water table is above the foundation of a home. Sump pumps send water away from a house to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain or a dry well.

Pumps may discharge to the sanitary sewer in older installations. Once considered acceptable, this practice may now violate the plumbing code or municipal bylaws, because it can overwhelm the municipal sewage treatment system. Municipalities urge homeowners to disconnect and reroute sump pump discharge away from sanitary sewers. Fines may be imposed for noncompliance. Many homeowners have inherited their sump pump configurations and do not realize that the pump discharges to the sewer. If the discharge is fed to a laundry sink in the basement, it's likely going to the sewer.

Usually hardwired into a home's electrical system, sump pumps may have a battery backup. The home's pressurized water supply powers some pumps, eliminating the need for electricity at the expense of using potable water, potentially making them more expensive to operate than electrical pumps and creating an additional water disposal problem. Since a sump basin may overflow if not constantly pumped, a backup system is important for cases when the main power is out for prolonged periods of time, as during a severe storm.

There are generally two types of sump pumps — pedestal and submersible. The pedestal pump's motor is mounted above the sump, where it is more easily serviced, but is also more conspicuous. The pump impeller is driven by a long, vertical extension shaft and the impeller is in a scroll housing in the base of the pump. The submersible pump is entirely mounted inside the sump, and is specially sealed to prevent electrical short circuits.

Sump pump systems are also utilized in industrial and commercial applications to control water table-related problems in surface soil. An artesian aquifer or periodic high water table situation can cause the ground to become unstable due to water saturation. As long as the pump functions, the surface soil will remain stable. These sumps are typically ten feet in depth or more; lined with corrugated metal pipe that contains perforations or drain holes throughout. They may include electronic control systems with visual and audible alarms and are usually covered to prevent debris and animals from falling in.

Pump selection

The selection of a sump pump will rest heavily on the application in which it will be used. To select the appropriate sump pump, consider the following:^[1]

• Automatic vs. manual operation — Selection of a manual sump pump means that one will turn the pump on and off when appropriate. Selecting an automatic sump pump means that a switch is wired to the sump pump to turn it on or off at appropriate water levels. Automatic switches include pressure switches, low level pressure switches and float switches.
• Power — Sump pump motive power will vary from 1/4 horsepower to multiple horsepower.
• Head pressure — The head pressure of a sump pump describes the maximum height that the pump will move water. For instance, a sump pump with a 15 ft maximum head (also called a shutoff head) will raise water up 15 ft before it completely loses flow. Technically, head pressure is defined as an expression of a pressure in terms of the height of fluid; P = yρg, where y is the fluid column height, ρ is fluid density and g is the acceleration of gravity. Other considerations may be added to overall head pressure, including loss from elbows/bends and friction loss from long horizontal runs.
• Power cord length — It is important to consider the length of the cord of any special switches that may be connected to the pump. Running a more powerful electrical motor a long distance from the main service panel will require heavier gauge wires to assure sufficient voltage at the motor for proper pump performance.
• Phase and voltage — Sump pumps powered from the AC mains are available with single-phase three-phase motors. rated for 110-120, 220-240, or 460 volts. Three-phase power is typically not available in residential locations.
• Water level sensing switch type — Pressure switches are fully enclosed, usually inside the pump body, making them immune to obstructions or floating debris in the sump basin. Float switches, particularly the types attached to the end of a short length of flexible electrical cable, can get tangled or obstructed, especially if the pump is prone to movement in the basin due to torque effects when starting and stopping. Pressure switches are typically factory set and not adjustable, while float switches can be adjusted in place to set the high and low water levels in the sump basin.
• Backup system and alarm — If redundancy and an alert system are vital for operation of your sump pump, consider a backup system and/or alarm.

Backup components

A secondary, typically battery-powered sump pump can operate if the first pump fails. A battery powered secondary pump requires the following components in parallel with the above others:

• A battery-driven 12 volt sump pump with its own water level sensor, piping, and check valve (the pipes usually join after the check valves to prevent reverse flow through the primary when the secondary unit is pumping);
• It must be a marine deep cycle battery, or special long-life standby battery. Standard automobile batteries are not suitable for this application. Auto batteries are designed to deliver a high current for a short period. Sump pumps need a smaller current for a long time.
• A trickle-charge battery charger. May alternately have a specialized controller to manage, monitor and test that the battery holding a charge.

Alternative sump pump systems can be driven by municipal water pressure. Water-powered sump pumps are similar to backup battery-driven systems with a separate pump, float and check valves. One can also use an ejector pump that uses an ordinary garden hose to supply high pressure water and another garden hose to carry the water away. Although such ejector pumps waste water and are relatively inefficient, they have the advantage of having no moving parts and offer the utmost in reliability.

If the backup sump system is rarely used, a component failure may not be noticed, and the system may fail when needed. Some battery control units test the system periodically and alert on failed electrical components.

A simple, battery-powered water alarm can be hung a short distance below the top of the sump to sound an alarm should the water level rise too high.

King Gage ~ Purge Control (Down Pipe) Level Control

Level Control at Flow Factor - Bubbler style

216-765-4231

A King downpipe is the simplest type of liquid level sensor, often referred to as a “bubbler." This is merely a length of open ended pipe that extends downward into the tank. LiquiSeal™ or Purge Control differential pressure air flow regulators are highly refined versions of the basic bubbler air control.

Continuous Level Measurement
Simple Proven Sensing Technique
Suitable for Corrosive or Aggressive Liquids

When purged with compressed air, liquid within the downpipe is displaced by air pressure equal to the hydrostatic force of liquid in the tank. If carefully regulated at a low rate of flow, air pressure will constantly maintain equilibrium against the force of the liquid. Air escapes out through the bottom of the pipe unless needed to increase pressure as liquid force (depth) increases.

788 D/P Purge Control is a differential pressure regulator and air flow control. It generates a constant flow of compressed air to purge a downpipe. Its integral differential pressure transmitter provides 4-20 mAdc output proportional to liquid level.

The primary sensor element is typically 3/4 in. diameter pipe purchased from a local source. Always select piping material for compatibility with the tank contents. Downpipe purge systems can be used to measure virtually any type of liquid product including resins, asphalt or corrosive materials.

Output is proportional to liquid depth and can be transmitted as an electronic 4-20 mA signal or pneumatically as a direct 1:1 pressure signal.

LiquiSeal D/P purge control is a fully integrated air purge regulator and level transmitter. Operation is based on the control regulating a continuous 1 cfh (cubic foot per hour) flow of compressed air into the tank downpipe. An internal differential pressure sensor element converts resulting pressure into a 4-20 mA dc two wire signal.

788 D/P Purge Control is a more basic differential pressure regulator and air flow control. It generates a constant flow of compressed air to purge a downpipe. Its integral differential pressure transmitter provides 4-20 mAdc output proportional to liquid level. 780 Purge Control is an all-pneumatic version that does not include the integral transmitter. It provides a 1:1 pressure signal to a compatible indicator or external transducer through 1/4 in. airline tubing. The purge control holds a fixed pressure differential across a precision orifice to ensure constant flow rate of 1 cfh (cubic foot per hour). This regulated low flow rate makes it possible to maintain a linear 1:1 response of the sensing system. In this way, back pressure sensed is equivalent to the hydrostatic head pressure due to actual liquid depth.

Pneumatic Output Signal

Purge Control or LiquiSeal Control provides air pressure signal to an external transmitter or compatible indicator (with integral transducer). Typically, 1/4” poly or soft copper tubing is used to convey the pressure signal up to 1000 feet from the tank.

Electronic 4-20 mA Output

D/P Purge Control or D/P LiquiSeal transmitter provides a 4-20 mA output over a two wire cable to an indicator or the analog I/O of a PLC. Using twisted pair shielded cabling permits transmission distances of several thousand feet to a remote receiver.

Hazardous Zone Service - The downpipe sensor and pneumatic components are fully compatible with explosion hazard environments. This makes pneumatic the sensible alternative for hazardous areas without the cost and complications of intrinsic safety barriers or explosion-proof products.*

Transmitter turndown ratio is 3:1 for the 0–15, 0–30, 0–50 psid nominal ranges.

Nominal      Minimum     Range of Adjustment

0–5 psid     0–3 psid    0–83 in. thru 0–138 in. water / 0–2.1 m thru 0–3.5 m water

0–10 psid   0–3 psid    0–83 in. thru 0–277 in. water / 0–2.1 m thru 0–7.0 m water

0–15 psid   0–3 psid    0–83 in. thru 0–415 in. water / 0–2.1 m thru 0–10.5 m water

0–30 psid   0–10 psid  0–277 in. thru 0–830 in. water / 0–7.0 m thru 0–21.0 m water

0–50 psid   0–15 psid  0–415 in. thru 0–1384 in. water / 0–10.5 m thru 0–35.1 m water

IMPORTANT! Accuracy, linearity, and non-repeatability values are based on nominal range.

King Gage Liquid Level Transmitters

Flow Factor sells KING GAGE Level Systems

Common applications are:

• Beverages
• Fats & Oils
• Dairy Products
• Fruit & Vegetable Juices
• Sauces & Condiments
• Confectionery

KING-GAGE® ES2 transmitters provide liquid level measurement for inventory monitoring. Add to their rugged reliability the major benefits of simplified service and maintenance. Performance characteristics of these transmitters include excellent stability and repeatability (better than 0.02% FS). Transmitter span accommodates a 3:1 turndown ratio* to match the application pressure range (i.e. tank depth) and the 4-20 mAdc output is compatible with PLCs or other control architecture using analog I/O.

KING-GAGE ES2 transmitters are applicable to most tanks or process vessels whose contents remain at normal atmospheric pressure. They measure hydrostatic head pressure created by liquid depth in the tank and are unaffected by foaming or internal obstructions such as agitators. Unlike load cells, pressure based measurement has lower installation cost and is far simpler to maintain thus ensuring more reliable readings. 

Transmitters used in sanitary processing must often endure cycles of rapid temperature fluctuation. Washdown environments produce significant condensation on metallic surfaces that coupled with aggressive cleansing agents demand robust protection for these instruments. The ES2 transmitter's enhanced design uses encapsulation for full isolation of the internal electronics. This extends to the IP68 grade M12 signal connector that ensure integrity and long term reliability. You can be assured of a transmitter truly built for the demands and expectations of today's processing environment.

Sanitary Configurations
These sensors are especially suited to a wide range of sanitary applications on storage or continuous processing vessels. The 316 stainless diaphragm is appropriate for flush mount, clean-in-place installation employing an FDA-approved silicone rubber O-ring seal to achieve the crevice-free, positive compression seal between diaphragm and tank liner. Sanitary tank mountings include flush weld mountings with product contact surfaces of 316L stainless. (Quick disconnect sanitary adapters are also available for sensor mounting.)

*3:1 turndown ratio is applicable to 0-10 and 0-30 nominal range, refer to specifications for detailed span adjustment available on specific range models.

Mounting Options

Flush-mounting configurations are intended to meet the 3-A Sanitary Standards for clean-in-place applications. The ES2 transmitter fits directly into KING-GAGE tank shells or with an adapter on other manufacturers' mounting shells.

Installation Options

The KING-GAGE ES2 transmitter offers a choice of configurations to match your application needs. The integral stainless steel housing shown here includes a watertight connector for signal cable installation. Mounting lengths offered are intended to mate with tank fittings on non-insulated (singlewall) or insulated wall tanks. Adapters provide additional mounting options when retrofitting systems from other manufacturers.

LevelBAR Tank Level Indicator

• Visual Display of Tank Levels
• Custom Scale for Weight or Volume
• Direct Replacement for Manometer Gauges
• 4-20 mA output signal available to PLC 

The LevelBAR multi-segment LED column display includes an individualized scale calibrated to the actual tank capacity. Marked in any specified unit(s) of measurement, it permits direct reading of total liquid weight or volume. This unique analog column indicator works as a local or auxiliary remote display in new or retrofit applications.

Pneumatic input models include an integrated differential pressure (D/P) element. This allows LevelBAR to be used with bubblers or other air operated systems as a direct replacement for mercury tank gauges or other fluid-filled manometers. It even provides 4-20 mA output compatible with other receivers or to use for process control functions.

LP2 Multiple Tank Digital Indicator

•  8 Tank Multiple Channel Capacity
•  Operator Interface Display & Keypad
•  RS-485 Multidrop Communications

LP2 Multiple Tank Indicators expresses tank level directly in engineering units. Referencing a capacity profile to correlate transmitter output to actual tank geometry, the indicator formats the resulting value directly as the total weight or volume of liquid in the tank. LP2 Multiple Tank Indicator provides an operator interface keypad for access to function selection and density adjustments. There are no user conversion factors involved or scaling points to enter. All application details are factory programmed into an innovative nonvolatile modular memory called the Datapack iButton.

LP2 multiple tank indicators accept up to eight input channels that receive proportional 4-20 mA signals from liquid level transmitters. The actual sensor used to detect hydrostatic pressure created by liquid depth can be either electronic or pneumatic (using an electronic pressure transmitter to convert the sensor's pneumatic signal into 4-20 mA output).

LP2 multiple tank indicators can be used to eliminate analog I/O at your PLC or PC-based control system.

Industrial Circulation / Tankless Heaters

Flow Factor provides in pipe heaters for heating liquids and gases.
Inline pipe heaters are also known as circulation heaters, tankless heaters, in-line heaters or instantaneous heaters.

Industrial circulation heaters are packaged units consisting of a screwplug or flanged immersion heater mounted in a thermally insulated heating chamber for efficient heating of a flowing medium by in-line (tankless) or side-arm operation. Thermocouple sensors can be provided to connect to most any controller. Select from many terminal enclosures, sheath and vessel materials, flanged connections, and controls. Many models in stock.

Circulation heaters provide a ready-made means to install electric heating with a minimal amount of time and labor. This is accomplished by combining heating elements, vessel, insulation, terminal enclosure, mounting brackets and inlet and outlet connections into a complete assembly.

Made from NPT screw plug or ANSI flange heater assemblies mated with a pressure vessel (tank), circulation heaters are designed to heat forced-circulation air, gases or liquids. Ideal for either in-line or side-arm operations, these assemblies direct fluids past FIREBAR® or WATROD™ heating elements, to deliver fast response and even heat distribution.

Applications include: Water Heating, Freeze Protection, Heat Transfer Oil Heating, Fuel Oil Heating, Stea, Air, and Gas Heating and others.

• Watt densities up to 120 W/in2 (18.6 W/cm2)

• Wattages to three megawatts

• UL® and CSA component recognition up to 600VAC (FIREBAR to 480VAC)

• Ratings to ANSI Class 600 pressure class

• Incoloy® sheath temperatures up to 1600°F (870°C)

• Passivated 316 stainless steel sheath temperatures up to 1200°F (650°C)

• Steel sheath temperatures to 750°F (400°C) • Copper sheath temperatures to 350°F (175°C) • Up to 3000psi design pressure

Clean Water Heaters are ideal for heating municipal water for industrial washing and rinsing processes. Other applications include indirect heating of viscous liquids and temperature maintenance of storage tanks.

Light and Medium Weight Oil Heaters are ideal for temperature maintenance and for improving flow characteristics of oils. Heavy or Fuel Oil Heaters will reduce the viscosity, thereby improving flow and process efficiency.

Industrial circulation heaters provide a cost effective means for heating air and common industrial gases such as Argon, Helium and Nitrogen. They can also be used to increase the enthalpy and quality of steam.

Mild corrosive heaters allow the heating of solutions using stainless elements and a passivated stainless pipe body. Highly corrosive solutions and oils can be heated with the low watt density INCOLOY® sheath elements coupled with a passivated Stainless Steel pipe body, providing long service life.

Typical Applications

Water: • Deionized • Demineralized • Clean • Potable • Process • Industrial water rinse tanks •

Lubricating oils at API specified watt densities • Heat transfer oil • Paraffin • Caustic cleaners •

Hydraulic oil, crude, asphalt

Nitrogen, hydrogen and other air/gas systems • Superheating steam

Wattages and Voltages

Watlow routinely supplies circulation heaters from 120 to 600VAC (WATROD to 600VAC) as well as wattages from 500 watts to three megawatts. If required, Watlow will configure circulation heaters with voltages and wattages outside these parameters.

Weatherproof Protective Steel Jacket (Shroud)

To protect circulation heaters from weather or wash-down conditions, fully welded (weatherproof) or partially welded (standard) outer protective steel jackets are available. Standard steel, or made-to-order 304 or 316 stainless steel can be supplied. Jacket diameter is dependent upon thermal insulation thickness.

Options
