Titan Enterprises’s flowmeters are being employed by filter manufacturers to test the effectiveness of their products.
A typical liquid filter efficiency testing procedure uses a simple circuit consisting of a fluid reservoir, contaminant to be removed injection point, a pump and the filter under test. Monitoring of the loop is usually done using particle counting equipment before and after the filter to test the removal efficiency. In addition, the set-up uses a differential pressure gauge to monitor the pressure loss across the filter when a known amount of added contaminant has been removed by the filter. Finally, a flowmeter, usually installed after the filter, is used to measure the volumetric throughput of fluid through the system.
Titan Enterprises has worked with several filter manufacturers to develop optimised flowmeters which meet the demands of their particular test rigs. Instruments range from low flow devices through to larger systems and even bypass filtration systems. In bypass filtration applications, a continuous measurement is made of the flow through the filter where the majority of the flow bypasses the element but the proportion that is filtered is usually to a much higher level than could be readily achieved with a full flow filter. Over time the whole of the fluid is thus filtered to a very high standard.
