IMI 103 FLOW CONTROL TRAINER

Flow control trainer is designed for understanding the basic principles of flow control. The process setup consists of supply water tank fitted with pump for water circulation. A DP transmitter is used for flow sensing which measures differential pressure across orifice meter. The process parameter (flow) is controlled by microprocessor based digital indicating controller which manipulates pneumatic control valve through I/P converter. The control valve is fitted in water flow line. These units along with necessary piping are fitted on support housing designed for tabletop mounting. The controller can be connected to computer through ethernet port for monitoring the process in SCADA mode.
