The Dwyer flow sensor is an averaging pitot tube providing accurate
and convenient flow rate sensing. When purchased with a Dwyer
Capsuhelic?differential pressure gage of appropriate range, the
result is a flow indicating system delivered off the shelf at an
economical price.
Pitot tubes have been used in flow measurement for years.
Conventional pitot tubes sense velocity pressure at only one point
in the flowing stream. Therefore, a series of measurements must be
taken across the stream to obtain a meaningful average flow rate. The
Dwyer flow sensor eliminates the need for traversing the flowing
stream because of its multiple sensing points and built-in averaging
capability.
Dwyer Series DS-300 flow sensors are designed to be inserted in the
pipeline through a compression fitting. They are furnished with
instrument shut-off valves on both pressure connections. Valves are
fitted with 1/8" NPT female connections. Accessories include adapters
with ? SAE 45?flared ends compatible with hoses supplied with the
Model A-471 Portable Capsuhelic kit. Standard valves are rated at 200
psig (13.7 bar) and 200캟 (93.3캜). Where valves are not required,
they can be omitted at reduced cost. Series DS-300 flow sensors are
available for pipe sizes from 1" to 10". If replacing a DS-200 flow
sensor or using a A-160 thredolet with a DS-300, an optional ? X 3/8"
bushing, P/N A-161 is required.
