Target Disk Flowmeters

TECFLUID S.A. is a Spanish manufacturer of instruments for measuring flow and level of liquids and gases, founded in 1974. The company specializes in the development and production of high-quality flowmeters (variable area, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, target disk, etc.), level gauges, and converters. With over 50 years of operation, TECFLUID has earned a reputation as a reliable supplier for industrial applications worldwide, focusing on accuracy, durability, and certifications (ATEX, IECEx, etc.).Series DP Flowmeters (Target Disk Flowmeters)

Operating Principle The Series DP flowmeters operate on the principle of measuring the force exerted on a target disk placed perpendicular to the flow of liquid or gas. The flow applies pressure to the disk, causing it to deflect against an opposing spring. The deflection angle of the disk is proportional to the flow rate. Signal transmission occurs through a magnetic coupling without direct contact with the medium, ensuring tightness and reliability.

Features

  • Measured media: clean and slightly contaminated liquids and gases (water, air, etc.).

  • Diameters: DP65 — DN40…DN300 (wafer or flanged version); DP500 — DN250…DN500.

  • Materials: AISI 316L stainless steel, galvanized steel; options with PTFE or bronze.

  • Pressure: up to PN40 (DP65), PN10 (DP500); higher ratings on request.

  • Temperature: -20…+150 °C (standard), up to +300 °C or +400 °C with thermal separator.

  • Accuracy: ±2.5 % of full scale (DP65, ±1.6 % optional); ±4 % (DP500).

  • Outputs: local indication, 4–20 mA (with HART, Modbus), pulse output, microswitches, totalizer; Ex versions (ATEX, IECEx).

Main Application Areas

  • Water supply, wastewater treatment, fire-fighting systems, and swimming pools.

  • Chemical, pharmaceutical, and paper industries.

  • Heating/cooling systems, lubrication circuits in power plants.

  • Automotive industry (cooling, painting, cutting oils).

  • In general — processes requiring reliable measurement of viscous or slightly contaminated media with moderate accuracy requirements.
