"Flow Gator" Portable Flow Transfer Standard (FTS)
The "Flow Gator" is designed for use as a portable flow transfer standard (FTS) to calibrate flow meters that cannot be easily removed from their piping system. The flow transfer standard includes:
- Windows-based flow meter calibration software
Hand held Flow Gator signal conditioning electronic interface enclosure- Master turbine flow meters
- Carrying case
The master turbine meter is selected to cover the entire flow range of the test application. The master meter is installed in series with the flow meter to be tested. Calibration data can be collected using the Flow Gator or in series with a notebook PC using the "Flo-Cal" interface software. The Flow Gator collects all data output from the master turbine, temperature sensors, and the meter under test. Flo-Cal software running on the laptop computer is used to compile flow data and save all data of interest, as selected by the user. This Flo-Cal software also allows calibration data, including all input and output signals as well as various calculated parameters, to be easily monitored and saved.
Each Flow Gator system is configured per the application. The entire flow range, fluid types and temperature range are identified, as well as the types of flow meters to be tested. The turbine master meters are calibrated accordingly master meter calibration files are supplied.
