Flowmeters Feature Intrinsic Safety Option

Print Email

Universal Flow Monitors now offers its Coolpoint vortex shedding flowmeters with an Intrinsic Safety (IS) option. CoolPoint flowmeters are electronic instruments that measure and monitor liquid flows. With no moving parts, the models are designed to eliminate the potential for clogging.

Available on 1/4-, 3/8-, 1/2-, 3/4-, 1-, 1 1/2-, and 2-inch, CoolPoint meters, the IS transmitter is a two-wire 4-20mA model that has approved barriers and no display, alarm or pulse output. It also conforms to requirements for NEC Class I, Division 1, Group D environments.
