Mass-flow meter for high-output compounding.


Resin producers and high-volume compounding operations are the targets for a new smaller model of the Smart Flow Meter flow meter

Device that measures the velocity of a gas or liquid. It has applications in medicine as well as in chemical engineering, aeronautics, and meteorology. Examples include pitot tubes, venturi tubes, and rotameters (tapered graduated tubes with a float inside that is

, or auger, it can be used as a feeder, meter, batcher, or totalizer. The SFM measures true mass flow using K-Tron's Smart Force Transducers to measure mass and velocity. It has no moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid.  directly exposed to the material, no interruption of low, little or no field calibration, and low maintenance, K-Tron claims. Accuracy is said to be better than [+ or -] 0.5% or 1%, depending on application. Tel: (856) 589-0500 * PT Direct: 221JH
