Bearings are the key factor in performance whenmeasuring low flow. That is why COX FlowMeasurement uses ceramic ball bearings, whichare near perfect in roundness within 10 millionthsof an inch variation. This means lower friction andless vibration, which equals superior repeatability.

The COX Loflo™ series is a robust axial turbine flowmeter withexceptional repeatability of ±0.25% of reading. When paired with theEC80 flow Computer, the calibration data is linearized to within ±0.1%of reading, allowing for precision flow measurement over the entireusable range of the meter. COX Loflo series flowmeters are notposition-sensitive and can be mounted in any piping orientation.

The custom long-life, ceramic low-friction ball bearing system used inthe COX Loflo series meets the demands of water, hydrocarbons andcryogenic fluids. Capable of measuring flows as low as 0.006 GPM(0.024 LPM), this meter is an ideal solution for a multitude ofapplications. Typical uses include fuel injection productionsystems, blending of costly chemical additives, onboard fuelconsumption, refrigerants, dye injections, and more.

Ceramic ball bearings have much less fiction than journalbearings and provide a wider measureable flow range with superiorrepeatability. The COX Loflo series is designed to be rugged andrepeatable with the assurance of the most accurate calibrationprovided on our positive displacement primary standard calibrators.

COX Flow Measurement offers the pinnacle ofturbine flowmeter performance. The Dual Rotoris NIST’s golden meter for “round robin”testing. Its use around the world for primarystandard calibrator correlation tests is proof ofperformance.

COX flow Measurement offers proven flowmetering solutions for the most demandingaerospace, automotive, industrial and OEMapplications. The Exact™ series dual RotorTurbine flowmeter is the world’s most precisemeter of its kind, providing extended rangeperformance not obtainable with traditionalsingle rotor designs.

DESCRIPTIONThe Exact series dual Rotor Turbine flowmeterprovides an extended flow range capability,which often eliminates the need for manifoldsystems and thus simplifies installation andlowers costs. The meter’s exceptionalperformance, enabled by the innovative dualrotor configuration, enhances UvC curves andextends the usable measurement flow range.

With the Exact series dual Rotor Turbineflowmeter (standard Model CdX/CdL), flowstraighteners are not required to control process fluid swirl, as the dual rotor systemcancels out the rotor acceleration effect. Withflow straighteners, bearing diagnostics can bedetermined by monitoring the ratio of the rotorsto detect wear or cleanliness. The Exact seriesmeters also utilize a unique pickoff system,which is impervious to vibration and minimizesspace. This allows for direct coupling ofelectronics on a robust mount having a lowerprofile. Both integral and remote electronics are available to process the signal output.

Exact series dual Rotor technology is ideal for a wide range of applications. The meter isdesigned for bi-directional flow and high-shockenvironments. it utilizes a robust bearingsystem having dual ceramic bearings on eachrotor with the internals securely locked in place,resulting in excellent repeatability. The dualrotor meter allows for installation in applicationsthat do not have space for flow straightenerswithout loss of measurement accuracy.Pressures of up to 30,000 psig can becontained, while compensating for viscositychanges using integrated pressure sensors.

Bearings are the most critical component of a turbine flowmeter in terms of both repeatability of the meteroutput and the security of the calibration over time. This is why all COX flow Measurement turbine meters useceramic ball bearings. There are several advantages in using ceramic material:

• Ceramic can be used in non-lubricating fluids• Ceramic is non-corrosive and heat-tolerant, making it ideal for water or hydrocarbons• Ceramic offers near perfect roundness, minimizing vibration• Ceramic is harder and measures RC 75-80 as compared to ssT at RC58-65• Ceramic is 50% lighter than ssT, extending the life of the bearing

All the above attributes reduce heat, providing five times more wear resistance. Ultimately, this preserves thecalibration of the meter, while being more tolerant to particulates.

10 = 10 calpoints s = solvent 1 = 1 viscosity

20 = 20 cal points B = Oil Blend 2 = 2 viscosities

W = Water 1 cstk 3 = 3 viscosities

nOTE: 1. Calibrations are performed on primary standard calibration equipment operating in anvLAP-accredited facility with an uncertainty of ≤±0.5% of reading.

2. solvent ranges from 1 to 1.14 cstk = MiL-C-7024C, Type 2 @ 80°f.3. Blends are a mixture of oils and solvent to obtain a specified viscosity.

All dual rotor meters must use the EC80 flowComputer to sum rotor frequencies and linearizethe output to ±0.1% ofreading.


EXACT™ DUAL ROTOR TURBINE CONCEPT

1. Unconditioned flow enters flowmeter.

2. straightening vanes smooth the flow as itenters the first rotor.

3. flow transfers momentum to the first rotor,making it spin counterclockwise. flow thenexits rotor, with a clockwise spin.

4. flow enters second rotor with a nearlyperpendicular angle of attack, therebytransferring additional momentum to thesecond rotor. This additional momentumresults in greatly extended turndown.

5. flow exits flowmeter.

6. dual pickoffs transmit the rotor frequencysignal to remote instrumentation.

nOTE: The ratio of both pickoff frequencies isused for bearing diagnostics.

COX Flow Measurement isa participant in the NIST“round robin” proficiencytests intended to eliminatecalibrator bias. This goesbeyond traditional NISTtraceability and providescorrelation data usingNIST flowmeter artifacts tocompare directly withNIST calibrations.





Calibrations are performed at COX Flow Measurement, a NVLAP (Lab Code 200668) accredited facility using Primary Standard Calibrators producing ≤±0.05% of reading uncertainty.

Customers can select from a variety of calibrations to enhance the accuracyof the flow measurement reading. Often, manufacturers perform watercalibrations and then use a correction factor. This can be misleading, as thecalibration curve will vary in more viscous fluids. COX flow Measurementavoids calibration shifts by using the actual fluid viscosity in the calibrator todevelop the calibration curves. Multiple calibrations can be provided to forma single Universal viscosity Curve, which adjusts the frequency/viscosityrelationship to match the actual temperature of the known fluid.

Liquid flow Measurement: Primary Liquid Calibrators:

• 0.0025 to 1,500 GPM hydrocarbon • Uncertainty: ≤±0.025% to ≤±0.05% of reading

• 0.75 to 1,000 centistokes viscosity • Repeatability: ±0.012% of reading

• 0.01 to 300 GPM water

Gas flow Measurement: Primary Gas Calibrators:

• 0.001 to 3,500 sCfM in air • Uncertainty: ±0.20% to ±0.25% of reading

• 0.001 to 400 sCfM inert or flammable gases • Repeatability: ±0.10% of reading

• Gas correlations for toxic gases

The PDCL Series Primary Standard Calibrators are used daily in our prestigious NVLAP calibration lab. As a user, we continuallyimplement time-saving features such as fluid filling, mixing and viscosity temperature control, while improving on operatorefficiency and ensuring minimal maintenance.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

flow dynamics™, part of the COX flow Measurement family, is known for the industry’s most advanced primary standardpositive displacement flow calibrators. These liquid flowcalibrators are the equipment-of-choice across a wide range of industries, and are in use throughout the world in the mostprestigious government primary standard laboratories.

The flow dynamics Positive displacement Calibrator, Liquid(PdCL) 10, 60 and 400 series calibrators perform nisT traceablecalibrations ranging from 0.01 GPM (0.04 LPM) to 400 GPM(1514 LPM) with an uncertainty of ±0.05% and a repeatability of±0.01% of reading. They are compatible with most commonflowmeters providing a visual, pulse, or analog output.

The PdCL series is a precision volumetric device displacing anexact known volume of fluid passing through the flowmeterunder test, while compensating for temperature effects onviscosity. The PdCL’s low fluid usage supports the need toreduce hazardous fluids, while keeping fluid costs to aminimum. Blending fluids is made easy with an automaticcycling feature for mixing fluid while in the machine. in addition,the calibrator’s piping loop is designed to assist draining fluidsout of the system and facilitate flushing to clean residual fluidout of the piping.

Flo-Cal User Interface: The PdCL series employs “flo-Cal”software, which is seamlessly compatible with Windows™

operating systems, to graph and produce calibration datareports. The software graphics display visual aids calibrationdata/plots, and the data reports are user-configurable.Calibration files are automatically stored for flowmeterperformance history and can be recalled for plot comparison to the current calibration.

Field Service: in addition to manufacturing new primarystandard calibration systems, COX flow Measurement offersfield certification and service worldwide. All calibrators are100% documented to ensure service support for the life of the calibrator.

Semi-automatic calibrators are available for OEMs with high-volume calibration requirements.These systems incorporate flowmeter quick-load fixturing.

COX Flow Measurement “CheckStandards” are used by NIST intheir intra-laboratory test todetermine bias betweenprimary standard calibrationlabs for the armed forces andmajor labs.

Check standards are used to verify the repeatability of a primary standard calibrator. They ensure that nothing has changed in the ability of the calibrator to repeat its former calibration data. Calibration data curves should lay over eachother within <0.1% over the entire range of the Check standard (30:1 turndown).Check standard sets are offered with every PdCL series calibrator.
