SYSTEM DESCRI PTI ON
The D-1401 and D-1402 Portable Metering Systems are designed to measure the flow
rate of conductive liquids in multiple pipe sizes. They can also be used to perform
flow profiling for analysis of flow measurement problems.
The D-1401 Portable Metering System includes a F-1100 single turbine flow meter
and can be used to measure 1.25 inch and larger pipe sizes.
The D-1402 Portable Metering System includes a F-1200 dual turbine flow meter and
can be used to measure 2.5 inch and larger pipe sizes.
The flow meter portion of the system is typically inserted into a filled and pressurized
pipe via an existing one inch minimum diameter full port ball valve. For pipes that
can be easily drained before and after
measurement, the flow meter can be inserted
into a one inch minimum diameter outlet that
can accept a one inch NPT male threaded
adaptor. For filled and pressurized pipes
without installed full port valves, wet
tapping installation hardware kits are
available from Onicon.
The display module includes an LCD
display, control switches and cable. A single
9-volt alkaline battery, located in the display
module battery compartment, powers the
complete system, including the flow meter.
