MPV040 Positive Displacement Screw Flowmeter

The MPV040 Positive Displacement Screw Flow Meter by SEIM utilizes three screws for added accuracy in measurement. The specialized shape of the precision ground screws ensures that their rotation corresponds to exact volume measurements which is in turn measured and quantatively determined by the highly accurate attached sensor.

The screws move when the liquid fluid medium it is measuring flows through it in either direction, beginning rotation and measurement. When the meter is in full operation it produces a signal square wave which may be acquired directly by the PLC or processed by dedicated SEIM Display electronics.

The MPV040 is constructed in durable cast iron or steel with Steel internal parts and Is SEIM's medium-range flow measurement solution. Higher flow ranges can also achieved but at lower accuracy.
