FLOW MEDIUM Please note that PWE Flow Meters are designed to work only with liquids. Never try to measure flow rates of dry gas.
CALIBRATIONS Performed at standard conditions [14.7 psia (101.4 kPa) and 70�F (21.1�C)] unless otherwise requested or stated.
VISCOSITY Calibrated to 1 cSt (water). Meters with display can be used for fluids up to 50 cSt with field calibration (maximum flow range may be affected).
ENVIRONMENTAL (PER IEC 664) Installation Level II; Pollution Degree II.
FLOW ACCURACY (INCLUDING LINEARITY) 1% of FS
REPEATABILITY 0.25% of full scale.
FLUID TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT RANGE* -10 to 70 �C
TEMPERATURE ACCURACY (INCLUDING LINEARITY)* �0.5 �C
FLOW RESPONSE TIME approximately 1 seconds (above 10% of full scale flow), approximately 2 seconds (below 10% of full scale flow)
MAXIMUM PRESSURE 10 bar (150 psi)
MAXIMUM PRESSURE DROP 1.4 bar (20 psi) at 132.5 L/min flow. See Table IV for pressure drops associated with various models and flow rates.
