Why a Screw Flow Meter?
In the industrial sector, accurately measuring the flow rate and volume of high-viscosity fluids—such as lubricating oils—is a critical need. The OMNIPLUS VHS Series Screw Flow Meter is designed to meet this need, offering a robust, precise, and user-friendly solution.
2. Measurement Principle: Screw Volumeter
These devices measure flow using two intermeshing screws driven by the energy of the fluid. Because the measurement is volumetric, it is almost unaffected by viscosity changes.
No magnets are used inside the device; instead, the screw teeth are detected by an external Hall sensor, with each pulse corresponding to a specific volume.
3. Technical Specifications and Performance
High Precision and Linearity: ±1% accuracy (at 20 cSt) with ±0.25% repeatability.
Various Sizes and Flow Ranges: Available in DN 25–65 sizes, covering a flow range of 1.4 to 2,500 l/min.
High Durability: Aluminum or steel ports with PN 160–350 bar working pressure; easy installation via SAE flange.
Temperature Range: Typically –25 °C to +80 °C, optional up to 150 °C.
4. Electronics & User-Friendly Interface
Integrated OMNIPLUS Electronics: LCD display (graphical and backlit), analog output (4–20 mA or 0–10 V), and two switching outputs.
IO-Link Support: Simplifies digital communication and parameter management.
Programmable Controls: Magnetic programming ring allows users to safely change settings without opening the device; the ring can be locked or completely removed.
5. Bidirectional Flow and Totalization Functions
The OMNIPLUS VHS automatically detects flow direction, measuring both instantaneous flow and total volume. It can add or subtract volume depending on flow direction.
6. Advantages and Applications
Viscosity-Independent Measurement: Consistent performance with oils and similar fluids.
Durability and Flexibility: Reliable and long-lasting in harsh industrial environments.
Easy Integration: IO-Link, analog output, and switching outputs allow seamless integration with control systems.
Wide Application Range: Ideal for hydraulic systems, lubrication filters, production lines, automotive, and energy sectors.
7. Conclusion: A Precise and Valuable Flow Measurement Investment
The OMNIPLUS VHS Series Screw Flow Meter delivers high precision, robust construction, wide flow range, and modern electronics—making it a strong solution for industrial flow measurement. With both analog and digital outputs, it is ready for future automation systems.
