EX 80 Series Electromagnetic Liquid Flow Transmitters

Flow rates from 0.54 GPM to 3100 GPM, 1" to 8" Pipe Sizes

DESCRIPTION

The EX81 is an insertion electromagnetic flowmeter for use with conductive liquids in pipe sizes 1" to 3". The EX82 is for use with pipe sizes 4" to 8". With no moving parts, it is highly suitable for corrosive environments and for difficult applications such as those involving changing viscosities and pulsating flows. It is particularly recommended for metering the output of air-driven diaphragm pumps.

Designed for modularity and versatility, the EX81 has a current-sinking pulse output, which can be combined with the appropriate transmitter or indicator depending on the application. For analog output and display of rate and total, an FT420 can be used. For analog only, the AO55 can be mounted directly onto the meter. The PD10 can be used to divide the pulse for pacing chemical metering pumps. If the EX81 is being used with a programmable controller, the output signal can be fed directly with no other conditioning required.

The EX81 requires a special fitting, since it is not depthadjustable. Installation in the fitting ensures correct depth placement in the pipe. Fittings and sensors are available in PVC, brass, and stainless steel.

SPECIFICATIONS

Power: 12 - 24 Vdc, 250 mA
Flow Range: 0.2 – 20 ft/sec (0.06 - 6.09 m/sec)
Fittings: Since the EX80-Series sensors are not adjustable, they must
   be purchased with fittings appropriate to the application. The EX81
   is sized for 1” to 3” fittings. The EX82 is for 4” to 8” fittings. Each
   fitting ensures that the flow sensor is installed at the correct point.
   Every flow sensor and every tee fitting is wet calibrated. Saddle
   fittings are normally not wet calibrated, because they are field-
   installed on a pipe. In PVC however it is possible to order a saddle
   pre-installed on a standard length of pipe, in which case the entire
   assembly is wet-calibrated. For all other saddles, the k-factor (pulses
   per gallon) is established through testing with various standard
   schedules of pipe and provided with the saddle.
