NEW: C581 Flow & Energy Computer
For coolants, water and saturated / superheated steam
The C581-A is the first model in an exciting new lineup of powerful and versatile Flow & Energy Computers. It combines our extensive expertise in instrumentation, a deep understanding of international requirements, and a commitment to user-friendly design. The result? The most robust, accurate and versatile field mount Flow & Energy Computer available today. The C581 sets a new standard for performance and reliability, leading the way to a promising range of Flow Computers!
Accurate
The C581 single stream flow & energy computer is a powerhouse for precision measurement. It accurately measures flow, temperature, and pressure of coolants, water or steam, and uses IAPWS density and enthalpy determinations to precisely calculate energy, mass, and volumetric flow. Thanks to the 11 linearization points for all input signals, you'll experience enhanced accuracy across all flow ranges. With an extensive data logging capacity of 8GB, every stored record includes all measured and calculated values. To further boost accuracy, especially at the low end of the flow range, the C581 can process up to 3 stacked dP (differential pressure) sensors.
Multi-applicable
The C581-A can handle all ISO 5167 flow elements and more; either with signals from a single dP sensor and up to 3 stacked or averaged dP sensors. Thereby significantly improving the range and accuracy at the lower end of the flow spectrum. For other applications the flow calculation can be based at the design conditions of the flow element. Pulse inputs will soon be available with the C581-P for the measurement of rotating flow meters. The C581 can determine the energy transfer in heat exchangers.
These diverse flowmeter input capabilities do not only boost the accuracy but also expand the versatility of applications, making the C5-series an ideal solution for a wide range of demanding environments.
Robust and weatherproof
Built to endure the toughest environments, our robust IP66/67, Type 4X aluminum field enclosure withstands extreme weather and harsh industrial conditions. It’s engineered to perform flawlessly in temperatures ranging from a -40°C/-40°F to +70°C/+158°F.
With this rugged enclosure, the C581 stays protected, no matter what nature or the job throws at it!
User-friendly
