Insertion-Type Low-Flow Sensor George Fischer Inc. Tustin, Calif.
The Signet 2535 Plow Sensor is ideal for measuring flow in piping systems with extremely low velocities. The 2535 monitors flow rates as low as 0.3 ft/sec, with a full range up to 20 ft/sec. This low flow capability, along with an accuracy of fl% over the full range, makes the 2535 well suited for applications where gravity flow lines and final effluent are involved, and can be fitted in pipe sizes from l/2-36 in. The open collector pulse can be trans- mitted up to 500 ft to any device that
will accept a square-wave pulse, in- cluding flowmeters, DASs, PLCs, batch controllers, and computers. Sen- sors are individually tested and certi- fied to NIST standards.
