Flow Technology”s HP/EP (Extended Pressure) positive displacement (PD) flowmeter system is designed for liquid flow applications involving high operating pressures.  The meter features a bearingless design with only two moving parts.Pairing Flow Technology”s HP-I Series positive displacement flowmeter (optical interface option) with the EO Electro-Optic Encoder, the HP/EP system can accurately measure a range of liquids where process pressure can reach 3,000 PSIG and operating temperatures reach 400 F (204 C). The meter offers up to 1000-to-1 turndown and a viscosity range up to 1,000,000 cP+. The meter is available for 1/8″ to one-inch lines sizes. The EO Electro-Optic Encoder enables accurate monitoring of high viscosity fluids traveling at a low flowrate.  Unlike a magnetic pickoff, this equipment delivers a high-resolution output that can be as high as 630,000 pulses per gallon (166.45 pulses /cc).
