Series DS-300 Series DS-400
The Series DS In-Line Flow Sensors are two Series of averaging Pitot tubes for
compatible gases and liquids that provide accurate and convenient ow rate sensing,
for schedule 40 pipe, when purchased with suitable differential pressure gage with
appropriate range. The Series DS-300 Averaging Flow Sensors are designed to be
inserted in the pipeline through a compression tting and available for pipe sizes from
1 to 10˝ (2.5 to 25.4 cm). Accessories include adapters with 1/4˝ SAE 45° ared ends

compatible with hoses supplied with the Model A-471 Portable Capsuhelic
Flow Sensors,
The Series DS-400 Averaging Flow Sensors are designed for insertion lengths up
to 24˝ (61 cm) and include a pair of 1/8˝ NPT x 1/4˝ SAE 45° ared adapters which
are compatible with hoses used in the Model A-471 Portable Capsuhelic
The supplied solid brass mounting adaptor has a 3/4˝ dia. compression tting to lock
in required insertion length and a 3/4˝ male NPT thread for mounting in a threaded
branch connection (not included).

BENEFITS/FEATURES
• Multiple sensing point measurement and built-in averaging capability eliminates
the need for “traversing” the owing stream with single point velocity pressure
measurement saving time
• Extremely reliable, proven technology, Pitot tubes, have been used in ow
measurement for years
• All models include convenient and quick-acting quarter-turn ball valves to isolate
the sensor for zeroing with 1/8˝ female NPT valve assembly process connections.
• Furnished with instrument shut-off valves on both pressure connections with 1/8˝
female NPT connections rated at 200 psig (13.7 bar) and 200°F (93.3°C)
• Where valves are not required, they can be omitted at reduced cost
• The Series DS-400 Averaging Flow Sensors are quality constructed from extra
strong 3/4˝ dia. stainless steel to resist increased forces encountered at higher ow
rates with both air and water
• Economical ow indication when used with appropriate differential pressure gage
• Rugged construction yields, non-clogging, stable design
APPLICATIONS
• Remediation
• Natural, are, ue, stack gas
• Boiler feedwater
• Cooling water
• Superheated, saturated, or geothermal steam
• Combustion or compressed air
• Oil ow monitoring

HOW TO ORDER
Merely determine the pipe size into which the ow sensor will be mounted and
designate the size as a sufx to Model DS-300. For example, a ow sensor to be
mounted in a 2˝ pipe would be a Model No. DS-300-2˝.
For non-critical water and air ow monitoring applications, the chart below can be
utilized for ordering a stock Capsuhelic
300 ow sensor. Simply locate the maximum ow rate for the media being measured
under the appropriate pipe size and read the Capsuhelic
water column to the left. The DS-300 sensor is supplied with installation and operating
instructions, Bulletin F-50. It also includes complete ow conversion information for the
three media conditions shown in the chart below. This information enables the user
to create a complete differential pressure to ow rate conversion table for the sensor
and differential pressure gage employed. Both the Dwyer

sensor feature excellent repeatability so, once the desired ow rate is determined,
deviation from that ow in quantitative measure can be easily determined. You may
wish to order the adjustable signal ag option for the Capsuhelic
easily identied reference point for the proper ow.
Capsuhelic
ow units are available on special order for more critical applications. Customer
supplied data for the full-scale ow (quantity and units) is required along with
the differential pressure reading at that full ow gure. Prior to ordering a special
