| Cost-effective flow monitoring for hydraulic oils
We have expanded the Clima range with the launch of the ClimaOil - a flowmeter and datalogger for monitoring hydraulic oil systems. The ClimaOil provides highly accurate calculations of oil flows from 6 to 600 l/min, as well as delivering a cost-effective method for measuring pressure, temperature and volume complete with a full, in-built datalogging capability. The ClimaOil package is built around a highly accurate precision, laser cut turbine, mounted on sapphire bearings - with three versions to monitor flows from 6-60 l/min, 15-300 l/min and 60-600 l/min in oils with a range of viscosities. The turbine also incorporates a 0-600 bar pressure transducer and a 0-120°C temperature sensor, and comes built into a section of pipe offering 0.5in, 1in or 1.5in BSP connections. The measuring instruments are connected via a dedicated 'Combi-Cable' to a portable display/calculation unit - the PTQ Check - which measures and displays oil velocity, temperature and pressure, and then calculates and displays the oil flow rate. The PTQ Check display unit also provides additional inputs for extra sensors with automatic sensor recognition. The PTQ Check display unit is freely programmable for parameters in °C, °F, K, mV, mA, %, %H, Pa, hPa, bar, mbar, psi, lpm, rpm, m/s, Watt, kW, vol%, Ltr, Hz, g/kg, km/h. It also offers features such as programming of zero point and slope. Further features include storage of min/max values for each channel, differential measurements between pressures P1 and P2, and differential measurements between temperatures T1 and T2. In addition to data monitoring and display on its illuminated, two-line
LCD, the PTQ Check offers datalogging capabilities to store up to 15,000
values. It also provides a serial data output for connection to printers,
and is able to print data complete with time and date. A further RS232
port allows logged data to be transferred to a PC in a format suitable
for any standard trend analysis package such as Microsoft Excel.. ClimaOil
