Hoffer MF Series Flowmeter

The Hoffer MF Series of Mini-flowmeters were employed to monitor fuel flow in high-velocity spray coating applications. These applications call for the measurement of liquid fuel at a meager flow rate.

The Hoffer Mini-flowmeters precisely monitor the fuel for a leading worldwide coating services supplier and thermal spray powders. Specific amounts of fuel are combined with flammable industrial gases in the combustion chamber of a nozzle, creating a supersonic spraying velocity.

High accuracy of fuel flow measurement is critical in controlling the exact blend of fuel and gases to produce the required velocity of these combustible materials.

This high velocity is used to spray the coatings which actually penetrate the surface. When applied to the surface, the coating exhibits extremely high density and corrosion resistance to wear, thus extending the life of the product.

Referred to as flame sprayers, these guns are designed to apply various powdered materials/abradable coatings to a wide scope of applications in industries such as aircraft, computers, optical, plastics, primary metals, and textiles.

Mini-flowmeter and Intelligent transmitter to provide Linearization

In this particular application, the repeatable flow range is specified at .02 to .15 GPM. In addition to the Mini-flowmeter, an intelligent transmitter is used to provide linearization.

The transmitter also provides features such as a Windows® based configuration program, a 4-20 mA loop-powered analog output, and an FM intrinsically safe approval, which is required for this application.

The MF Series flow meters meet extremely low flow measurement needs in many industrial liquid and gas applications.

Linear flow range capabilities are 0.015 to 3.00 gallons per minute in liquid applications. Maximum flow rates in gas flow applications are 0.05 to 1.00 ACFM.

Once again, meeting the challenges and finding solutions for various industrial low-flow processing applications around the world is what brings customers back to Hoffer Flow Controls, again and again.
