The FDT-30 Series provides easy
and low cost installation by
clamping to the outside of existing
piping systems. Non-invasive transit
time system allows solids to pass
through the pipe with no affect on
the meter. Y-strainers or filtering
devices are not needed. Greater
accuracy can be attained in
applications consisting of entrained
gases. The FDT-30 Series will
automatically correct displayed flow
rates and electronic outputs. Direct
interface is provided to data
collection systems via 4 to 20 mA
output and either TTL-pulse or
simulated turbine meter outputs that
are proportional to fluid flow rate.
Designed to replace mechanical
flowmeters in applications where
liquid conditions tend to

than actual size.
damage or impede mechanical flow
meter operation. No maintenance is
required. The FDT-30 Series can be
used on applications such as well
water and other liquids with
moderate amounts of suspended
solids or aeration.
FDT-30 Series is housed in an
enclosure suitable for outdoor
mounting. Integral mount transducers
are available for pipes 50 mm (2")
and smaller.
