Fluidwell E018 Explosion Proof Flow Rate MonitorIndonesia Industrial Parts

Description of Fluidwell E018 Flow Monitor

The E018 is one of the top models in our range of explosion-proof flow computers. The E-series distinguishes itself by its quality and functionality-driven European design and manufacturing. It is more than fulfilling the rules for explosion-proof design, it is about safety during the daily operation. Often, the environment is much tougher than the explosion-proof requirements demand. Thus dangerous conditions may be experienced due to a broken enclosure or a poorly made flame path. Ruggedness and reliability is what Fluidwell stands for and it is now available in a comprehensive well well-designed and purpose-driven explosion-proof flow monitor/totalizer.

Display

The unique LCD display provides multiple flow data at a glance. The main information is displayed with 7 digits (12mm, 0.47”) to show the total or flow rate and 11 digits (7mm, 0.28”), which can be set to show the flow rate and accumulated total. On-screen engineering units are easily configured from a comprehensive selection, while different units for flow rate and total can be displayed simultaneously. The speedometer offers a quick impression of the actual flow rate. The E018 is provided with a bi-color backlight, which can be turned on to flash red to indicate a flow rate alarm condition. When battery powered the backlight is only operational after a keypad touch, to extend the battery lifetime.

Configuration

The E-Series uses the highly appreciated configuration structure of our F-, D- and N-Series product line. Each setting is clearly indicated with an alphanumerical description, which avoids confusing abbreviations. Once familiar with one E-series product, you will be able to program all models in all series without a manual. For example: an (intrinsically safe) F018 operates identical to an explosion-proof E018 and has the same three buttons! In other words: know one, know them all.

Operation

Operation is done via the optical, easy-to-operate, glass keypad without having to remove the front cover. If required, these optical keys can be disabled. For easy handheld configuration, there are three mechanical push buttons on the bottom side of the display collar. All settings can be password-protected.

Enclosures

Two versions of our IP66/IP67, NEMA Type4X/7/9 explosion-proof enclosures are available: a solid die-cast aluminum or a high-grade stainless steel 316L enclosure resistant to extremely salty atmospheres (offshore). The aluminum enclosure has an industrial two component coating and is better suitable for outdoor and chemical plant applications than powder-coated alternatives. A major advantage for the installation engineer is the spacious mid-chamber for the cable entry in combination with the plug-and-play connectors. Especially for straight flow meter mounting a 1” NPT connection is available (see page 5 for available NPT and Metric thread sizes).

Application of Fluidwell E018 Flow Monitor

Flow measurement in an explosion-proof application with mechanical flow meters, where re-transmission of the totalizer, monitoring of the flow rate, and HART communication are required. The E018 offers you a flow rate monitor/totalizer designed to be used in rough and tough applications, beyond being just explosion-proof. Its sturdy design and ease of use are unequaled by any other explosion proof indicator in the market! The E-Series is always your first and safest choice in explosion-proof applications. For intrinsically safe applications we offer our field mount F-Series indicators.
