Description
MRTU4-F : LCD Flow Rate Monitoring Flowmeters (Universal Slip Insertion Paddlewheel)
The MRTU4-F flow rate monitor is designed and manufactured in Australia by ManuFlo. The MRTU4-F has a unique ‘quick release’ slip insertion stem section designed to be inserted to the ManuFlo 1” nipple adaptors (part BSPB etc) which allows the display head to be fitted to most 1” BSP female entries. Usually, the MRTU4-F is pre-fitted with a ManuFlo ‘T’ piece pipe adapter, adapters are available for a range of pipe sizes from 20 to 315 mm diameters, and the adapter range includes Galvanized Iron tees, Class18 Cat19 PVC high pressure tees, and saddle-clamp agricultural poly-pipe fittings, the advantage being we pre-install the MRTU4-F for you on to the fitting and pre-calibrate on our NMI certified test rig (sizes 20mm – 100mm) to obtain the best K- factor value. Or optionally you may purchase our BSPB or BSPB-LS pipe adaptor nipples (1” BSP M external thread) in brass or optional version BSPSS in 316 SS material.
The MRTU4-F is suitable for medium to high flow range liquid flow measurement applications. Being internally battery powered, the unit is ideal in situations where no external power supply is accessible, making them totally portable Flow Rate monitoring flowmeters and with optional pulse output to data logger or PLC. NOTE: As standard the pulse output is live even when lid is closed however this feature can be disabled by adding -PNL (pulse is disabled when lid closed) to the order code.
The flowmeter’s only moving part (a stainless steel alloy rotor which turns as liquid flows past it) allows registration in Litres/minute (L/M) or Litres/second (L/M) with optional decimal place on the 4 digit Liquid Crystal resettable display counter. The main body component, consisting of the electronic counter board, is housed in a robust ABS-UV resistant IP65 lower enclosure and ASA-UV upper enclosure. The LCD display is visible through the toughened Polycarbonate window and sealed by a recessed gasket and 4 stainless steel screws. A special scratch resistant film allows optimal reading even in the harshest conditions. The impact resistant ASA-UV lid protects the LCD from prolonged sun exposure, contaminants and breakage.
To operate, open the hinged lid to view the LCD display which will indicate Flow Rate once liquid reaches velocity sufficient to turn the rotor blades. The internal lithium battery has a typical life of 8+ years depending on environmental conditions.
