• Principle Teaching Objectives
• Study of the implantation of the sensors.
• Calibration of the sensors.
• Determination of the characteristic curves of the sensors and their accuracy.

Functioing:

A centrifugal pump suck-up a non compressible fluid (water) from a buffer tank; this fluid flow via an adjusting membrane valve and a rotameter on two pipes on which are mounted different flow sensors: an electromagnetic flowmeter, a vortex flowmeter, a turbine flowmeter on one hand, and a venturi and a diaphragm on the other hand (this two devices are linked to a differential pressure sensor). The fluid flow in a closed loop and return to the buffer tank.

Technical specifications

• A centrifugal pump
• A PVC tank
• A speed driver allowing

Flow meters

• 1 Venturi in Altuglass
• 1 Diaphragm in Altuglass
• 2 manometers in U and a differential pressure sensor
• 1 Rotameter
• 1 Electromagnetic flowmeter
• A tension is applied to the fluid that is captured by two electrodes and informs a converter of the fluid speed.
• 1 vortex flowmeter
• 1 turbine flowmeter
• A turbine with blades in plastic turns in relation with the flow around a shaft. A magnet transmits this rotation to a Hall sensor mounted outside of the case. Electronics linked to the sensor transforms the frequency in instantaneous flow.
• The bench is presented on a stainless steel frame with aluminium nuts. The piping are made of PVC.
• The control cabinet include the control and the safety protection of the pump, as well as the speed driver and the power supply for all transmitters.
• The electronics of each flowmeter is local (on the flowmeter), the display of the pressure sensor is deported on the electrical cabinet.

Options :

• We can propose on inquiry other flow meters configurations:
• Option 1 : Ultrasonic flowmeter
• Option 2 : Mass flowmeter

Essential requirements

• Power supply : 220 V mono 50 Hz – Power 0.37 kW
• Clean water : 4 bar, 20°C, for the tank filling
