The Hedland Flow Meter is a variable area (rotameter) instrument. A precision machined, sharp-edged Orifice is located within the piston assembly and forms an annular opening with the contoured metering cone. The piston assembly carries a cylindrical PPS/ ceramic magnet that is magnetically coupled to an external flow Indicator that moves precisely, in direct response to movement of the piston. A calibrated spring opposes flow in the forward direction. This spring decreases viscosity sensitivity and allows the flow meter to be used in any position, including inverted.
Hedland petroleum fluid meters are designed to seamlessly integrate into hydraulic systems. Additionally, with a variety of end fittings and different material types, these meters can be used in a wide range of industrial processes requiring flow monitoring of petroleum fluid types. Standard meters provide an economical solution for operators needing a quick, visual indication of flow, without the use of additional electronics. Expansion options are available to allow integration into remote systems via electronic output.
