A Cartridge Inside of the CFT-Max Flow Meter Cartridge

As everyone knows, laminar flow is important when working with turbine flow meters. So, how does the CFT function in the turbulent flows within an integrated manifold?  

We knew at the start that we would be dealing with turbulent flow that would vary from manifold to manifold. So first of all, we implemented a turbine design that minimizes the effect of turbulence. By scaling the CFTs to the specific application, the results have been excellent. 

With the CFT-Max (J1939) model we have taken steps to be able to tune the flow meter even better if desired.  

Knowing that our test bench results can vary from field applications, we have made the electronics in the CFT-Max easily removed and reinstalled.  This allows us to modify the electronics to match your specific application without ever removing the hydraulic cartridge from the system. 

Here are two key views to illustrate this:  

This is a cross view of the cartridge without the electronics in place and the following picture is the J1939 electronic “cartridge” that is totally sealed and ready for installation in the main body.

If our bench settings need to be modified, we can supply custom-programmed units for your ongoing requirements.  And don’t forget,  address tags allow for up to 8 CFT-Max flow meters to be on the same CAN-nus network!
