Kirchner & Tochter Flow Metering Monitoring Orifice DP Flow with Micro Switch DDW-DS31

Orifice DP Flow with Micro Switch DDW-DS31

SKU: DDW-DS31

Manufacturer: Kirchner & Tochter

The DDW-DS31 flow monitor is used for monitoring the flow of water, oils, and neutral liquids.
The DS31 flow monitor contains a rugged and uncomplicated diaphragm system. The differential pressure generates a unilateral force at the membrane which moves the diaphragm system against the measuring range springs. The resulting displacement activates a micro switch. The user sets the switch locally by a hand wheel in the range of 30 – 100% of the flow span.

The DDM-EM measuring orifice measures and monitors the flow of gases and liquids.

The device works according to the principle of differential pressure. A differential pressure exists on the orifice, which is proportional to the square of the volume flow through the pipeline. The user mounts the orifice between flanges or with Rp pipe unions into the conduit. The unimpeded, straight tube length has to be 6 DN before and 4 DN behind the mounting position.

A tough and insensitive sensing diaphragm is embedded in the EM-transmitter housing. By the differential pressure a spring force occurs at the measuring diaphragm. The resulting displacement is transmitted to the core of an inductive displacement transducer via an axial rod. The built-in electronics evaluates this deflection and transforms them into direct display, limit value switches and output signal.

Operating Principle

A differential pressure arises at a pipe constriction, which is proportional to the square of the flow rate through the pipe.

The resulting differential pressure can be recorded with a meter and can be directly indicated as flow rate on a scale.
