SIGNET
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SIGNET from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy of the SIGNET digital flow totalizer for paddlewheel flowmeters?
The SIGNET digital flow totalizer (SKU 3-8150-1P) provides an accuracy of ±0.5% for totalizing flow in liters. It is designed for use with paddlewheel flowmeters and operates on 3.6V DC. The display is suitable for water flow measurement in industrial applications. This totalizer is part of the SIGNET flowmeter accessory line available through 3G Electric.
What are the temperature and pressure ratings for SIGNET Schedule 80 PVC saddle clamps?
SIGNET Schedule 80 PVC saddle clamps are rated for a maximum operating temperature of 140°F. They are available in sizes from 2 inches to 8 inches, with socket x socket female connections. These fittings meet NSF standards and are used for securing branch connections in industrial plumbing and chemical processing systems. Pressure ratings depend on the specific size and application; consult the manufacturer's data for detailed pressure-temperature derating.
What types of output do SIGNET insertion-style paddlewheel flowmeters provide?
SIGNET insertion-style paddlewheel flowmeters provide remote output for water flow measurement. Some models offer an open collector output, while others are non-powered and provide a pulse or frequency output. For example, SKU 3-2536-P1 has an open collector output and operates on 24V DC, while SKU P51530-P1 is non-powered and has a flow range of 62 gpm to 1,247 gpm. These outputs allow integration with remote monitoring or control systems.
What materials are used in SIGNET paddlewheel flowmeters?
SIGNET paddlewheel flowmeters feature a polypropylene body and a Viton seal. The insertion-style design allows direct mounting into piping. The polypropylene body provides chemical resistance for water and compatible fluids, while the Viton seal offers durability against temperature and chemical exposure. These materials are standard across the SIGNET paddlewheel flowmeter models available through 3G Electric.
What flow rates can SIGNET paddlewheel flowmeters measure?
SIGNET paddlewheel flowmeters cover a range of flow rates. The digital flow totalizer (SKU 3-8150-1P) is specified for 0 to 3,000 gpm. The insertion-style flowmeter with remote output (SKU P51530-P1) has a flow range of 62 gpm to 1,247 gpm. Actual measurable range depends on pipe size, insertion depth, and fluid characteristics. For precise sizing, refer to the individual product specifications or contact 3G Electric for assistance.
Are SIGNET Schedule 80 PVC saddle clamps NSF listed?
Yes, SIGNET Schedule 80 PVC saddle clamps meet NSF standards. This applies to all sizes available, including 2 in x 2 in, 3 in x 3 in, 4 in x 4 in, 6 in x 6 in, and 8 in x 8 in. The NSF listing indicates compliance with health and safety requirements for materials used in potable water and food processing applications. These clamps are gray in color and have socket x socket female connections.
