Rate Of Flow Transmitter Subassembly

A Rate of Flow Transmitter Subassembly is a component used in flow measurement systems to accurately measure and transmit the rate of flow of a fluid. It is typically used in industrial applications where precise flow measurement is required.

The subassembly consists of several key components, including:

1. Flow Sensor: This is the primary component responsible for measuring the flow rate of the fluid. It can be based on various technologies such as electromagnetic, ultrasonic, or thermal.

2. Transmitter: The transmitter is responsible for converting the flow sensor's output into a standardized electrical signal, such as a 4-20 mA current loop or a digital signal. It also provides power to the flow sensor and may include additional features like signal conditioning and temperature compensation.

3. Display and Output: Some rate of flow transmitter subassemblies include a built-in display that shows the measured flow rate in a user-friendly format, such as liters per minute or gallons per hour. They may also have output options like analog outputs, digital communication interfaces (such as Modbus or HART), or relay outputs for control purposes.

4. Mounting and Enclosure: The subassembly is typically housed in a protective enclosure that can be mounted on a pipe or a panel. The enclosure provides protection against environmental factors like dust, moisture, and temperature variations.

Overall, the rate of flow transmitter subassembly plays a crucial role in accurately measuring and transmitting flow rate information in various industrial processes, such as water treatment, oil and gas, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
