  		Platon DP Primary Flow Sensors - Slip Orifice Plates 

Tab Handled Slip Orifice Plates offer an economical method of generating a DP in pipes for a large range of liquids and gases.

the plates are mounted between existing flanges in the pipework, witht the pressrue tappings being provided by the customer as either FLANGED, D & D/2 or CORNER tappings. The standard material is 316 stainless steel, but Monel 400 or Hastelloy C are aslo available.
 
Types of plate

Three types of Orifice Plate are available:-
  • Square edged for unidirectional or bi-directional flows.
  • Quarter Circle and Conical entrance for viscous fluids, such as oil.
For fluids such as steam, orifice plates above 4" NB can be supplied with drain holes to enable condensate to drain back past the orifice plate.

  
Platon Shunt Orifice Flowmeter - For Automatic Sprinkler Installations

The Shunt Gapmeter Model SGUV Mark 2 has been developed specifically to meet the requirement for a direct reading flowmeter for use in automatic sprinkler installations, water spray or deluge systems. It is approved for regular monitoring and testing of such systems by the LPCB, Loss Prevention Certification Board, under their "Rules for Automatic Sprinkler Installations", in the UK, and by many equivalent organizations in other countries.

The SGUV Mark 2 provides a compact, robust, direct reading flowmeter for 50mm - 200mm pipelines, and is suitable for use in horizontal or vertical pipes.

Features
  • Simple water flow measurement.
  • No electrical power needed.
  • Approved and Listed by LPCB.
  • Easy installation between pipe flanges.
  • Instantaneous reading.
  • Air bleed and drain valves.
  • Isolation valves for tube replacement and cleaning.
  • Spare tube supplied.
Platon Flo-Bar Averaging pitot Tube

The Flo-Bar is an Averaging Pitot tube flow sensor for use on pipes, ducts or chimneys. Differential pressure created across the Flo-Bar has the standard square root relationship to flow rate, making a simple, removable sensor for installation or retrofit on flowlines of any size.

The unique design of the Flo-bar profile provides a high accuracy, wide rangeability sensor: the standard integral manifold allows simple process isolation and easy installation of a DP measurement cell.

  • Flow sensor for liquids gases or steam.

  • ± 1% Accuracy with standard square root flow output.

  • Fully electron beam welded construction.

  • Unique profile sensor with flow averaging.

  • Integral 3 valve manifold.

  • Simple direct mounting of DP transmitter if required
