LM GN Flow Meters Litre Meters Pelton Wheel Series

Also known as a radial turbine the highly efficient Pelton Wheel meter has some major advantages. The very large blade area compared with the flow inlet port size produces an exceptionally wide range flowmeter that can measure very low flows. The flow through the inlet of the meter is accurately directed onto the rotor which rotates at a speed in linear proportion to the flow rate.

A small sensing coil detects the ferrites mounted in the rotor blade tips as they pass. No drag is imposed on the rotor which assists in the measurement of extremely low flows. Sapphire bearings provide very low friction mechanically robust bearings with long life characteristics. Turndown can be as high as 280:1. Each size Pelton wheel flowmeter has its flow rate range controlled by jet size. For example, the LM24 has a 2.4mm diameter jet and a flow range of 0.03 to 4.3 liters per minute.

The LMGN has 6 distinct standard ranges and push-on hose connections.

• Accuracy ±2% of actual reading for the top 90% of range.
• -0.5% FSD for the bottom 10% of the range.
• Repeatability ±0.2% reading over top 90% of range

Pressure Rating	Dependent on temperature and material (2 or 5 bar)
Temperature rating	-25 and -50°C - +40 or +60°C dependent on material and pressure
Viscosity Range	0.5 to 10cP
Recommended Filtration	A 100-micron filter is advisable for 100% long-life serviceability.
Dimensions	Refer to drawings
Pressure Rating	Dependent on temperature and material (2 or 5 bar)

The ring assembly with the rotor is the same size irrespective of flow rate and jet size. The LM GN has hose connections. The temperature and pressure rating reflects this.
