Neptune Type S Flowmeter

Type S Flowmeters utilize the nutating disc principle of positive displacement measuring chamber technology. This design results in an accurate flowmeter that is insensitive to changes in viscosity and flow profile disturbances. The dual case measuring chamber design means particle matter and high fluid pressure do not influence accuracy.

The Standard Type S comes with:

  • Base unit that houses and protects the measuring chamber and gear train
  • Register that provides reset of delivery and totalization

Applications

Liquids: Vegetable oils, liquid sugar, water, corn syrup, sucrose, mineral spirits, solvents, latex, asphalt, fuel oil, molasses, animal fat, Toulene, Acetone, milk, juice, acids, lube oil

Industry: Sewage Treatment, Brick Manufacturing, Ceiling Tile manufacturing, Hospital utilities, School Heating, Pharmaceuticals, Adhesives, Farm Services, Fragrances, Animal Feed, Chemicals, Food Canning, Bakery, Plastics, Beverage Production, Paint and Coatings, Tire Manufacturing, Paper Mill, Beverage Bottling

The Neptune Type S Flowmeter can be used in many different industries with numerous fluids. The Type S has been particularly successful in the animal feed industry batching molasses into the feed. Molasses is sprayed onto the feed to enhance the flavor. The Type S is not affected by viscosity and worked perfectly measuring the thick molasses. The meter used in this particular application was a one-inch bronze Type S with a 157 register and pulser.

Features

  • Bronze outer body components compatible with hundreds of nonacidic liquids
  • Handles suspended solids that other meters can’t
  • Durable Ryton discs
  • Variety of registers, pulsers, and totalizers are available
  • Simple to operate and economical to use
  • Easy maintenance
  • Positive and accurate registration
  • Not influenced by high fluid pressure

Neptune Type S High Pressure Flowmeter

The Neptune Type S Nutating Disc High Pressure (HP) Flowmeters are precision-constructed measuring instruments used for accurate measurement of liquids at high pressures. The dual case measuring chamber design means accuracy does not change with increased fluid pressures.

Features

  • Heavy duty design withstands high pressure
  • Simple in design and easy to service
  • Standard NPT fittings for easy installation
  • Compact design

Applications

  • Liquids: Inks, Solvents, and Mineral Oils
  • Industry: Printing

Case Study

A major printer based in Chicago, Illinois uses hundreds of Type S High Pressure meters to measure offset printing ink to printing presses. Ink is very expensive and must be measured accurately. The Type S High Pressure Meter provides the accuracy and cost control that this printer and many others require in their processes.

Type S Meter with Magnetic Drive

The 2″ Type S Magnetic Drive flowmeter, with double case construction, utilizes the nutating disc positive displacement technology. This design results in an accurate meter, which is insensitive to small changes in viscosity and flow profile disturbances. The magnetic drive feature eliminates the use of a drive shaft stuffing box eliminating a leak path. This enables measurement of difficult fluids such as salt brine and sugar, which tend to crystallize. The Type S Magnetic Drive is an ideal selection for continuous operation because they substantially reduce leaks and measuring element clogging. Further, the external gear train and register may be serviced without flow interruption.

Applications: Liquids: Vegetable oils, liquid sugar, water, corn syrup, sucrose, mineral spirits, solvents, latex, asphalt, fuel oil, molasses, animal fat, Toulene, Acetone, milk, juice, acids, lube oil.

Industry: Sewage Treatment, Brick Manufacturing, Ceiling Tile manufacturing, Hospital utilities, School Heating, Pharmaceuticals, Adhesives, Farm Services, Fragrances, Animal Feed, Chemicals, Food Canning, Bakery, Plastics, Beverage Production, Paint and Coatings, Tire Manufacturing, Paper Mill, Beverage Bottling

Features

  • Compatible with hundreds of Non-Acidic liquids
  • No dynamic seals, Magnetic Drive eliminates the stuffing box and drive shaft gear train enabling measurement of difficult fluids
  • External gear train and register may be serviced without flow interruption
  • Capable of measuring hazardous fluids and fluids with particle matter
