All-Plastic
          Flowmeter



          The Rotoron
          RO all-plastic Flowmeter from Honsberg is a turbine design

          

          Here at PVL we have a full range of flow technologies to choose
          from.

          We think some sort of speed control would really add to the fun,
          and we think we have just the flow sensing technology to bring
          the Captive Media system to life. The Rototron RO all-plastic
          flowmeter from Honsberg is a turbine design that provides an
          output signal proportional to flow. The all-plastic design keeps
          the unit costs down and ensures compatibility with this particular
          medium. It’s easily installed, with no calming section required
          and a filter already built in. The turbine acts as the primary
          sensor, and its rotational speed is in linear proportion to the
          flow rate. Detection of rotational speed is via infrared light
          barrier, and the device comes fitted as standard with a 1m cable
          – easily long enough to reach the Captive Media box.

          
Average flow
          rates for males range from 1.26L/min for a healthy 14-45 year
          old down to 0.5L/min for those over the age of about 65. That
          fits perfectly within the ranges of the Rototron RO models, and
          would certainly add a new speed control dimension to the games.
          But it could go a stage further, too. Consider the RO-002 model
          with a flow range from 0.1-2L/min. If a flow well below 0.5L/min
          was detected, the output from the flowmeter could trigger the
          Captive Media box to suggest a prostate check might be in order.
          For a flow well above 1.3L/min, the Captive Media box might suggest
          that possibly you’ve drunk enough for the night, and that
          if you want an undisturbed night’s sleep, then it’s
          time to ease back.

          
We get all sorts
          of flowmeter questions here at PVL, and have a full range of
          technologies to choose from, including piston valve , piston
          inline, variable area , paddle , dynamic flap, rotor , turbine,
          gear wheel/screw , calorimetric, inductive , vortex , sight glass
          and orifice . We also have the in-house applications expertise
          to find the right product for any given need. So be assured that,
          no matter out of the ordinary your requirement may be, we’ll
          provide the perfect solution every time.
