金屬面積式流量計
面積式流量計(又稱 Rotameter)是利用浮子在錐形管內上升的高度來測量流量——浮子升得越高,代表流量越大。F56 採用金屬管身取代常見的塑膠或玻璃材質,專為承受更高壓力、更高溫度與更嚴苛的使用環境而設計。浮子內嵌有永久磁鐵,使指示器得以穿透金屬管壁準確追蹤浮子位置,帶動錶盤指針指示讀值;數位型號更能透過 LCD 同步顯示瞬時流量與累積總量。/p>
值得信賴的精度等級
F56 提供 1.0、1.5、2.0、2.5 四種精度等級,這代表儀表會在滿刻度 10% 至 100% 的範圍內,分十個測試點檢驗誤差,而非只看單一讀數。面積式流量計的精度是以「滿刻度」為基準換算的百分比,而非讀值本身的百分比——因此同一支儀表,指針越靠近刻度上限,實際精度就越高;越靠近下限,精度則相對較低。我們會協助您挑選合適的量測範圍,讓日常流量落在刻度上半段,確保實際使用時就能享有您所選購的精度,而不只是在滿量程時才達標。
耐高溫高壓的穩定表現
無論管線輸送的是接近冰點的公用水,還是高溫製程流體,都能找到合適的 F56 機型應對。標準機型即涵蓋寬廣的溫度範圍,若選配高溫規格,更可延伸至攝氏 400 度,直接用於蒸氣管線。耐壓等級也會隨管徑放大而提升,即使在高壓端仍能維持穩定表現,不像結構較輕薄的流量計容易在此失效。實際適用於您所選尺寸、材質與指示器型式的詳細額定值,請參閱規格頁籤。
依製程挑選相容材質
每一款 F56 都採用相同的量測原理,差別只在於接觸流體的材質。請依實際流經管線的介質,挑選合適的濕潤部材質:
不鏽鋼
304 與 316 已能滿足絕大多數安裝需求,316 更額外具備抗氯離子與弱酸腐蝕的能力。低碳「L」等級可抵抗銲道腐蝕,是食品、飲料與製藥產線的標準選擇。
PTFE 內襯
完全惰性的襯裡材質,能抵禦足以侵蝕裸露不鏽鋼的強酸與強鹼,適用於高腐蝕性的化學品產線。
哈氏合金(Hastelloy)、鈦與鋯
適用於熱酸、氫氧化鈉、海水等最嚴苛的化學環境——連 316 不鏽鋼都無法承受的場合。
PP 與 PV
更輕量、更經濟的選擇,適合常溫下的一般公用水或稀釋藥液投加應用(限垂直安裝,最大至 DN100)。
選擇符合管線需求的連接方式
提供兩種連接方式:
- 法蘭連接是永久性、高壓製程管線的標準選擇。
- 三段式衛生夾(Tri-clamp) 連接讓儀表能在數秒內完成拆卸清潔,全程免用螺栓。適用於衛生要求較高、需要快速拆裝的場合,例如食品、飲料與製藥產線。
因應管路配置,彈性選擇安裝方向
並非每個安裝現場都有足夠空間設置垂直直管段,因此 F56 提供五種安裝方式——垂直、水平,以及三種適合狹小空間的側向或底部進出型式。無論選擇哪一種安裝方向,都能搭配相同的量測管與指示器選項。
依您的實際流體校正,而非僅以水為基準
仔細看錶盤,數位顯示下方會標示三個小數值——密度、溫度與壓力,這正是刻度校正時所依據的操作條件。浮子在低密度氣體與高密度液體中的浮動狀態並不相同,因此我們會根據您實際的操作流體,而非通用的水或空氣基準,來計算每一支儀表的刻度,確保出廠時錶上數字就已對應您實際量測的介質。
選擇適合的讀值方式
每一款 F56 都在同一支量測管上讀取相同的流量,差別在於您希望如何呈現讀值:純機械指針的現場顯示、傳送至控制系統的兩線式訊號,或是電池供電的顯示器,分別對應不同的現場需求。
簡易現場指示——P8
免配線、免供電。拋光不鏽鋼錶盤搭配機械指針,直接在管線上清楚顯示流量,適合衛生管制區域,或任何只需就地讀值的場合。
串接控制系統——P10
保留現場指針顯示,並加入 LCD 與迴路供電的 4-20mA/HART 輸出,只需兩條線即可將流量訊號傳送至 DCS 或 PLC。可選本質安全型或防爆型,並可加裝警報開關。
危險區域專用——P10I
防爆型現場指針顯示器,適合需要 Ex 防爆等級、但不需要遠端訊號的場域。加裝開關後,也能在儀表端直接觸發流量警報。
沒有電源線?沒問題——P10B
單顆鋰電池即可運作約一年,仍可提供完整的 LCD 流量與累積總量顯示——無論安裝於何處都能穩定運作。

** Accuracy class is verified per the German VDI/VDE 3513 standard at 10 points across the scale (10%–100% of full flow). Since accuracy is stated as % of full-scale reading, real-world accuracy is best when normal operating flow sits in the upper half of the selected range.
*** A high-temperature option (H1/H2/H3 order codes) extends media temperature up to 400°C on any indicator type — specify at order time.
