Flow Monitoring

The Gemlog range of electronic flow metering and monitoring systems have been designed to measure and supervise the flow rate of gases, liquids and powders in pipelines (dependant on model).
Models operating on the calorimetric principle avoid the need for moving parts in the flow stream and are therefore especially suitable for use with liquids of high viscosity, or containing particles or contaminants. Alternatively high precision turbine sensors are available for applications which demand accurate volumetric measurement.
Calorimetric models comprise of a monitoring sensor head, installed in the pipeline, and an electronic controller which may be either integrated with the monitoring head or remotely sited, according to type. These systems provide an output to signal deviation of flow from a pre-set level. Temperature monitoring and continuous analogue output are additional functions which can be selected on some models.
The Gemlog flow meter/monitor programme offers a choice of specification, performance, size and cost to meet a wide variety of different uses and budget requirements.

The IR-Opflow sensor is a volumetric flowmeter. The sensor consists of the following components:

  • a sensor housing which contains:
  • a patented flow corrector with screw-shaped interior (1),
  • a lightweight rotor with three blades (2),
  • and an optoelectronic infrared detector (3) with integrated pre-amplifier

The incoming liquid is forced into a twisting motion by the spiraling surfaces of the flow corrector section. The flow of liquid causes the rotor to rotate virtually free of frictional resistance. This provides a large measurement range and causes a minimum of wear.Each time they rotate, the blades of the rotor interrupt the beam of infrared light.This generates a series of pulses with which the flow can be measured extremely accurately.As an example, the smallest IR-Opflow flowmeter generates 36,000 pulses per 1,000 cc.The built-in signal amplifier provides a square wave pulse output.

The IR-Opflow Sensor is also available without a signal amplifier. The flowmeter in this version has a sinusoidal output signal. The patented turbine design prevents air or gas bubbles from becoming trapped in the measuring chamber. This is essential to the IR-Opflow Flowmeter's exceptional accuracy. The precision of the IR-Opflow within the measuring range is not influenced by either pressure differences or varying or pulsating liquid flows.
