The FPD470C is a wedge flowmeter with chemical-tee transmitter connections, designed for differential pressure flow measurement in demanding applications including slurries and high-viscosity liquids. It features a V-shaped restriction with no sharp edges, ensuring long-term accuracy and bi-directional flow capability. The meter is available in pipe sizes from 15 to 600 mm (0.5 to 24 in.) with ANSI Class 150, 300, or 600 flanges and accepts 8-hole mounting pattern connections. Accuracy is ±0.5% of actual flow when calibrated and ±5.0% uncalibrated, with repeatability of ±0.2%. The chemical-tee connection has a maximum pressure rating of 300 psi or the end flange rating per ANSI B16.5, whichever is lower. Wetted parts are typically carbon steel or 316 stainless steel, with over 30 materials available. The device meets PED requirements when selected and is certified to Section IX welding standards.
The FPD470C wedge restriction has no critical surface dimensions, or sharp edges, that will affect measurement accuracy as the result of normally expected wear.
