Bailey Controls Completes

Installation Of New Flow

Calibration Laboratory

Bailey Controls has installed a new flow calibration laboratory for its lines of vortex and mass flow- meters. The fully automated facility is located at the company's manu- facturing center in Wickliffe, Ohio.

It uses Bailey Network 90® process control system technology to cali- brate meters to an accuracy specifi- cation of ±.25 percent for mass/ flow and ± 1 percent on vortex.

The Bailey type VF Vortex Shed- ding Flowmeter features advanced fiber-optic technology for measur- ing volumetric flow of liquids, gases and steam. The device is suitable for high-temperature applications (up to 662° F) and is constructed of cor- rosion resistant materials. The type

VF is available in three pressure/ temperature ANSI classes: 150, 300, and 600.

Bailey's Direct Mass Flowmeter measures flow rate up to 1,200 lb/ minute and densities up to 3.2 g/cc of liquids and slurries. A digital electronics package allows the user
