Fluidwell F014 Safe Area Flow Rate Totalizer | Mixing Ratio

The Fluidwell F014 Safe Area Flow Rate Totalizer is a specialized monitoring solution designed for applications that require precise calculation of the ratio between two flow streams. Engineered for safe-area industrial environments, this unit provides real-time visualization of the ratio, individual flow rates, and totals for both input lines simultaneously.

Description

Precision Ratio Monitoring for Blending Processes

The Fluidwell F014 Safe Area Flow Rate Totalizer addresses the technical requirements of industrial mixing by processing signals from two separate flowmeters. It calculates and displays the current ratio between Flow A and Flow B, allowing operators to monitor the consistency of a mixture or the rate of a secondary injection. This functionality is essential for maintaining product quality and chemical balance in continuous flow systems.

Engineered for Rugged Field Reliability

Durability is a core feature of the F014. Housed in a professional-grade field enclosure—available in GRP, Aluminum, or high-grade Stainless Steel 316L—this device is built to survive. The housing is famous for its “truck-proof” design, capable of withstanding extreme mechanical impact and harsh environmental exposure. With IP65, IP67, and NEMA Type 4X ratings, the internal components remain completely protected against heavy rain, snow, fine desert dust, and salty coastal atmospheres.

Streamlined Configuration and Data Security

Following the standardized Fluidwell “Know one, know them all” configuration menu, the F014 allows for rapid setup without the need for extensive technical training. To guarantee data integrity during power failures or battery replacements, the unit features an automatic backup function. All configuration settings and running totals are saved in non-volatile EEPROM memory, ensuring that critical process information is never lost.
