INTRODUCTION
Direct reading orifice plate flowmeter for pipe sizes 1 1/4”- 18” (30mm - 450mm).
Platon Gapmeters type SGUV and type SGUL are direct reading Flowmeters for clean liquids and gases in pipe sizes larger
than 1 1/4” (30mm) and provide a robust and cost effecꢀve method of flow measurement. The indicator housing can be
mounted locally to the pipe or remotely by the use of flexible impulse tubing.
ADVANTAGES
Calibraꢀon for wide range of gases and liquids
Available for various flanges
Instantaneous reading
Ease of installaꢀon
PRINCIPLE
The instrument is a neat combinaꢀon of two measuring elements
and is essenꢀally a pressure differenꢀal device consisꢀng primarily
of an accurately machined orifice plate located in the main
pipework. This produces a pressure drop proporꢀonal to the
square of the flow rate. A secondary orifice restrictor located in
the by-pass flowmeter is accurately calibrated to produce a
by-pass flow that can be measured by the glass VA type flowmeter,
scaled in terms of the main pipe flow. The metering elements are
manufactured to a high standard of interchangeability with boldly
marked indicaꢀng scales and dynamically balanced floats.
