Flow Turbine
PPC-04/12-SFM Series
Product Description
The PPC-04/12-SFM flow turbine is permanently installed in the pipeline where are the oil flow rotates the internal axial turbine. The frequencies generated are processed by digital electronics (a signal converter). Flow effects causing interference are compensated in this process. In the new, redesigned version, the signal converter is now directly integrated into the PPC-04/12-SFM flow turbine. This allows even simpler operation and supports permanent coupling of the turbine and signal converter components that are matched to one another.
The new turbine also improves the response times/reaction times (from a previous 400 ms to 50 ms) and increases measurement accuracy. The PPC-04/12-SFM flow turbine is available in six versions for various flow speeds. A pressure sensor can be connected in parallel to the flow turbine by way of the integrated test point. In addition, the oil temperature can also be measured using the temperature sensor connection.

In general, the PPC-04/12-SFM flow meter can handle flows in either direction. The specified technical data and the calibration available as an option apply only when the flow through the flow meter matches the recommended flow direction. A double-headed arrow is shown on the nameplate of the PPC-04/12-SFM. The larger end of the double-headed arrow specifies the recommended direction of flow.
