B. Principle of Operation Fluid flows through the meter, first passing through a helical nozzle, which causes flow to spiral, rotating in a helical pattern. The spiraling fluid then impacts on the flat blade rotor causing the rotor to spin. The rotor is designed to immediately develop a rotation-induced friction free fluid bearing, thus eliminating any potential bearing wear. An infrared electro-optical transmitter and receiver is molded into the body of the meter along with a pair of miniature circuit boards, providing voltage stabilizers.* This design inherently bleeds off entrained gas, improving the accuracy of the meter. * Clear, transparent & translucent fluids; must transmit infrared light. FTB600B Series Installation 1 C. Material Characteristics of PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) 1. Material of construction Trade name - Kynar All wetted parts of the FTB600B Series are PVDF, excluding the O-ring. Wetted parts include any part of the meter that will or could come in contact with the fluid. List of wetted parts: 1. Barbed fittings 5. End caps 2. Flow meter body 6. Strainer 3. Rotor 7. Bearings 4. Helical nozzle (Viton O-ring seal) 2. Chemical Composition Polyvinylidene Fluoride is a fluorpolymer consisting of three basic materials (carbon, hydrogen and fluorine) 3. Effects of Various Fluids a . Weak acids - no effects b. Strong acids - attacked by fuming sulfuric & nitric acids at high temperature. c. Weak alkalis - no effects d. Strong alkalis - no effects e. Organic solvents - Resistant to most. Slight attack by some. Imbrittled by some amines, keystone and esters. FTB600B Series Operating Parameters 2 Section 2. - Operating Parameters A. Temperature Since the FTB600B Series has printed circuit boards molded into the body of the meter it is strongly recommended that 180°F not be exceeded. Exceeding 180°F can cause irreparable damage to the circuit boards. B. Flow Ranges The FTB600B Series is available in six different sizes, which cover a flow range from 0.1 to 120 lpm. Specific flow ranges FTB601B 0.1 to 2 lpm (0.03 to 0.53 gpm) FTB602B 0.3 to 9 lpm (0.08 to 2.38 gpm) FTB603B 0.5 to 15 lpm (0.13 to 3.96 gpm) FTB604B 1.0 to 30 lpm (0.26 to 7.93 gpm) FTB605B 2.5 to 75 lpm (0.66 to 19.8 gpm) FTB606B 4.0 to 120 lpm (1.32 to 32 gpm) WARNING Over range may permanently damage the flow meter. FTB600B Series Operation Parameters 2 FTB600B Series Operating Parameters 2 C. Recommended Viscosity Range 1-5 cSt (w/o correction) The effects of changing viscosity on the FTB600B Series are the same as any other turbine flow meter. It is important to remember that a turbine meter is a viscosity dependent device, where as the viscosity increases the linearity of the flow meter will decrease. (Water like viscosities are ideally suited for use with the FTB600B Series) The FTB600B Series is factory calibrated with water. Correction procedure for higher viscosity For viscosities greater than 5 cSt consult the factory. The FTB600B Series can be used on fluids greater than 5 cSt. however, the K-factor (linearity) will change. This requires a recalibration of the FTB600B Series at the known viscosity to determine the new KFactor. D.
