Description
3.1 Functional principle
The flowmeter operates in accordance with the float measuring principle.
A metal cone is installed in the measuring unit H250, in which a suitably shaped float can move
freely up and down.
The flowmeter is inserted into a vertical pipeline and the medium flows through it from bottom to
top.
The guided float adjusts itself so that the buoyancy force A acting on it, the form drag W and
weight G are in equilibrium (G = A + W).
An annular gap results which width depends on the current flow rate.
The height of the float in the measuring unit, which depends on the float, is transmitted by a
magnetic coupling and displayed on a scale.
Strong deflecting magnetic fields can lead to deviations in the measured value.
