Wholesale Parker High Pressure Mechanical Flowmeter Flowline Manufacturer, Manufacturers

The Parker Flowline series comprises a variety of inline mechanical flow measurement devices designed for high-flow, high-pressure applications, including off-highway mobile pump performance and industrial oil supply lines. These flow meters feature a non-intrusive design (i.e., they do not obstruct fluid flow) and are available in brass or stainless steel housings, making them suitable for harsh environments where high pressure and corrosive chemicals could damage traditional measuring devices.

The Easiflow flow meter is extremely simple in construction and versatile, employing the variable orifice principle (i.e., variable area principle). This flow meter operates on any flat surface, with its internal piston moving as flow increases, opening a larger orifice to allow air, water, or hydraulic fluid to flow. This design allows users to directly and visually view the flow rate and is a highly reliable method for measuring flow in high-pressure fluid systems.

Product Description

Overview

The Flowline series high-pressure mechanical flow meter is a durable online flow measurement device suitable for industrial hydraulic applications. Its core function is to provide intuitive monitoring of fluid flow in hydraulic systems.

Core Structure and Working Principle: It employs a variable orifice design, with a graduated observation sleeve on the outer casing. The internal piston and external indicating ring are magnetically coupled. During operation, utilizing the pressure difference across the piston, as the flow rate increases, the piston moves against the calibration spring, which in turn drives the indicating ring to move synchronously, thus achieving real-time flow feedback. The device can be installed on any plane, offering high installation flexibility.

Key performance parameters: Flow measurement range covers 1-360 L/min, adaptable to various flow requirements; maximum working pressure reaches 350 bar (5000 psi), capable of handling high-pressure environments; measurement accuracy is ±5% of full scale, repeatability is ±1% of full scale, and data stability is strong; operating temperature range is generally -20°C to 90°C, with some models extending to 105°C; it is relatively insensitive to changes in fluid viscosity, and measurement stability is unaffected by small fluctuations in fluid viscosity.

Core materials and specifications: Housing options include brass or stainless steel; seals are made of fluororubber, suitable for various fluids including oils; connection methods mostly use BSP straight threads, with port sizes available in 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, etc., depending on the model; for example, model FM26322212 has a 3/4 inch BSP port. Some models weigh only 0.4 kg, facilitating installation and layout.

Applicable Scenarios and Additional Advantages: Suitable for industrial chemical processing, industrial manufacturing equipment, and other fields, especially for flow monitoring in hydraulic systems. It can also be used in hydraulic testing units to help quickly diagnose hydraulic circuit faults. Furthermore, this series of flow meters supports calibration with oil or water media, and some models can be upgraded with reed switches to further expand functionality and meet monitoring and control needs under different operating conditions.
