 Over
two years of engineering and design have resulted
in a new industry standard for visual flow indicator
technology. Uncompromising
levels of quality, safety and technological excellence
are standard features in the complete
line of L.J. Star Incorporated Standard Flanged
Model visual flow indicators.
Description
All standard flanged
models in the L.J. Star Incorporated line
of visual flow indicators carry full ANSI rating*
and are available in several application-specific
con-figurations. ANSI
designed for 150 psi or 300 psi, flanged
units are available in sizes from 1 /2" to 8".
Styles
Flanged units are
available in four styles designed to
accommodate various mounting positions, fluid characteristics,
flow rates and directions:
- Plain
Style
May be installed in any position to observe fluid
flow in any direction. These style indi-cators
are usually employed to detect
either the presence or
absence of solutions, or to observe
fluids for turbulence, color or clarity.
- Drip
Tube Style
This style is well suited for vertical lines with
downward flow direction. These
units are particularly
recommended for applications characterized
by low or intermittent flow rates,
such as distillation processes.
- Flapper
Style
Recommended for monitoring either hori-zontal
or vertical lines with upward
flow. The flapper position
indicates current flow rate. Flapper
style indicators are the appropriate choice
for use with clear and semi-opaque solutions.
- Rotator
Style
This style indicator may be installed in any
position to indicate flow in any
direction. The visibility
of rotor motion makes this style particularly
well-suited for monitoring clear, translucent
or dark solutions.
