low measurement
F
or
fl
ow measurement in open
fl
umes
,
a constriction or standardised
fl
ume must be used
.
D
epending on the
fl
ow volume
,
this constriction
generates a certain amount of backup
.
T
he
fl
ow can be determined
from the height of this backup
.
T
he
fl
ow volume is outputted by an
appropriate number of pulses on the relay or current output and can
thus be further processed by connected downstream instruments
.
T
here is also the possibility to sum up the
fl
ow volume by means of a
totalizer
,
the result is available on the display and as
PC
/
DCS
value
.
D
epending on the type and version
,
each
fl
ume generates a di
