The Digital Flow Calibrator combines the simplicity & versatility of a soap film bubble meter with the speed and accuracy of a microprocessor. With hands free operation, you can still see the bubble, but you also have precision of a digital display with accuracy of a quartz clock. No more tedious bubble formation, bubble watching, timing & flow-rate time calculation. The
DFC-1 accurately calibrates air sampling pumps (vacuum or pressure), rotameters, orifices etc. quickly & reliably with accurate & reproducible results.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION : The DFC-1 gas flow calibrator operates on the principle of traditional soap film flow meter which has been automated with the use of high technology infrared sensors, quartz timing & microprocessor intelligence to provide instant digital read out of gas flow rates. A soap bubble is used to trace the gas flow through a fixed volume high precision glass flow-cell. When the liquid soap bubble passes through the first sensor, it activates a quartz timer, which stops when the soap bubble passes through the second sensor. The microprocessor then calculates the flow rate & instantly displays it on a liquid crystal display. |
