What is the Sika VH500RMWAERT02 Flow Monitor PN10?
The Sika VH500RMWAERT02 is a mechanical flow monitor intended for flow measurement and control of liquids in closed circuits. It uses a vane-type principle in which movement caused by flow of a vane or paddle generates a signal output. The unit is made to resist operating pressures up to PN10 (10 bar) and is thus well-suited for medium-pressure systems that are common in most industrial applications.
Key Characteristics of the VH500RMWAERT02 Flow Monitor
Rugged and Durable Construction
- Constructed from high-grade, corrosion-resistant materials that can withstand long-term exposure to harsh environments.
- Built for harsh industrial and outdoor use.
Mechanical Flow Measurement
- Uses a mechanical vane to sense flow, minimizing the use of sophisticated electronics.
- Ideal for applications where electronic sensors are not feasible.
Simple Integration
- Features threaded connections for easy installation in existing pipes.
- Compatible with standard industrial fittings.
Flow Range Flexibility
- Built to function in a broad flow range, versatile for low and high-flow applications.
- Adjustable switching points provide increased usability in various systems.
PN10 Rated Pressure
- The PN10 rating is designed to be compatible with systems up to 10 bar pressure, which is typical in water, HVAC, and industrial processing lines.
How It Works
As fluid passes through the monitor, it causes an internal paddle or vane to move. This motion closes a magnetic or mechanical switch that provides a signal to a control system. The switching action can energize alarms, pumps, or shut-off valves depending on the application, and this makes the VH500RMWAERT02 a critical component of system automation and safety.
Uses for the VH500RMWAERT02 Flow Monitor
Industrial Process Control
