Fluidwell F116 Safe Area Sum Flow Computer | Totalizer

The Fluidwell F116 Safe Area Sum Flow Computer is a specialized solution developed to calculate differential consumption or total volume across two separate flow lines. Engineered to overcome common field challenges such as pulsating flows and vibration, this unit ensures reliable sum or subtraction calculations for industrial liquid monitoring.

Description

The Fluidwell F116 Safe Area Sum Flow Computer provides a narrative solution to complex flow measurement scenarios where simple addition is not enough. This unit excels in differential function applications, such as calculating net fuel consumption for diesel engines on ships or locomotives by measuring both feed and return lines. It also effectively handles sum functions where flows are split into two pipelines and a combined total is required.

Operating in demanding environments is made possible by its robust aluminum or stainless steel 316L field enclosure. The construction is so durable that a truck can stand on it without compromising the internal electronics. Beyond its physical strength, the F116 is designed for extreme weather, performing reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C, whether in salty atmospheres or sandy deserts. For ease of use, it utilizes the Fluidwell “Know one, know them all” configuration structure, saving significant time during installation and setup.
