Viscosity-Compensated Plastic Flowmeter and Switch for liquids

Kobold’s VKP plastic flowmeters operate on a special suspended float principle with a cylindrical measuring tube and spring-loaded float with the orifice.

The float in the Kobold’s VKP has slots mounded onto the outside, which protect the instrument from soiling by “capturing” dirt particles.  The danger of float jamming is thus considerably reduced and soiled liquids with a particle size up to 400mm can be measured without difficulty.  The Kobold’s VKP, the sharp-edged orifice in the float renders the instrument less sensitive to changes in viscosity. 

Kobold’s VKP specs at a glance:

  • Measuring range: 2-20 … 20-100 l/min water; 1-18 …10-75 l/min oil
  • Accuracy: +5% of full scale
  • Pressure: maximum 16bar; temperature: maximum 120°C
  • Connection: G1, 1” NPT PVC glue-in connection, inserts G1/2,G3/4 soldering connection 18mm, 22mm
  • Material: polysulfone

The Kobold’s VKP finds application in lubricant circuits, domestic electrical, installations, machine tools, solar energy systems, cooling circuits, welding machines, and pumps.
