Mass Burette Flow Detector
FX-1100 Series
Made to order
The FX-1100 Series Mass Burette Flow Detector takes the position of the fluid surface inside the burette as the head pressure using the differential pressure detector attached at the bottom and directly measures the flow of fluid as a mass based on changes in this pressure. It does not require calculation correction of temperature and specific gravity, and has many advantages such as high accuracy and extremely less affected by air bubbles, which enable to measure fuel consumption in the tests such as chassis dynamometer and engine bench. The 3 models are available according to the measurement range and application.
Features
When the fluid surface goes below L3, a pressure signal from the differential pressure detector opens an electromagnetic valve (V1) to allow more fluid to enter. V1 closes once the fluid surface reaches L2, and after about two seconds the device begins measuring instantaneous flow. The output of the differential pressure detector varies according to the mass of discharged fluid as the fluid surface goes down from L2 as fluid is discharged from the flow detector. When used in combination with the FM-3100 Digital Flow Meter (FM-0331 FX Module installed), the flow can be displayed digitally as a mass reading based on the amount of this variance.
The air release port is so that air may flow in and out of the detector as fluid flows in and out. Normally, a pipe is connected to the air layer of the fluid supply tank. It is also possible to pressurize to flow fluid to the measured object by connecting the constant compressed air to this port.
