KFF/KFG Electronic Low Volume Flowmeter

Brand: KOBOLD Instruments, Inc

KOBOLD KFF/KFG flow meters are used for measuring low and smaller, volumetric flow rates of gases (KFG) and liquids (KFF). The media must be transmissive for infrared light. 

Series KFF/KFG 1000 flow meters are available in Ryton, brass and PTFE materials; therefore suitable for many applications in industry, in laboratories, and so forth. 

The new PTFE sensor of the 1000 series is delivered as standard with (0 to 5 Vdc) Analog output and frequency output. The frequency output is optional on other models. 

Series KFF/KFG 3000 flow meters are available in Ryton® and in brass. The flow meter is based on the Pelton Principle, that is, the flowing medium causes a vane to rotate. 

The rotary motion is converted to electrical impulses by means of photodiodes. The flow rate is output as a frequency signal or a linear Analog (0 to 5 Vdc).
