New One-Stop Shopping

Sensors And Controls Catalog

From Transamerica Delaval

A new line of flow transmitters is included in the free One-Stop Shopping, sensors and con- trols catalog from Transamerica Delaval, Inc.,

Catalog Sales, Plainville, Conn.

A patented flow-through paddlewheel design is used to give accurate linear output; ± 1 per- cent. One version is cavitation-free to 50 ft./sec., and can be used with fluids containing particu- late matter up to 1 percent of fluid volume. They will monitor flow, bi-directionally in pipes rang- ing Vi -inch to 4 inches in diameter.

Other versions include high-pressure and temperature models, microsensors for low flow applications (down to 120 ml/min.), and a microprocessor-controlled, magnetic flow sens- ing unit with no moving parts, designed for fluids with up to 30 percent particulate matter.

All sensor/transmitters will send information to a broad range of receivers and controllers, also offered in the catalog.
