Precision Flow Control for Perfect Coffee Extraction
Engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern coffee machines, our stainless steel flow meter combines high - precision measurement technology with robust stainless - steel construction. This flow meter ensures accurate, stable, and reliable fluid flow monitoring, playing a crucial role in achieving consistent coffee quality in both residential and commercial brewing applications.
1. Premium Stainless Steel Build
- Material Superiority: Constructed from food - grade 304 or 316L stainless steel, conforming to strict international standards such as FDA 21 CFR 177.2400 for food - contact materials. The stainless - steel body offers excellent corrosion resistance against coffee - related substances, including organic acids, and can withstand high - temperature environments up to 120°C, ensuring long - term durability and hygiene.
- Benefits of Stainless Steel: Its high tensile strength (304: ≥520 MPa; 316L: ≥485 MPa) allows the flow meter to endure high - pressure conditions (up to 1.6 MPa) typically found in espresso machines. The smooth surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) minimizes coffee residue adhesion, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and simplifying cleaning.
2. Advanced Measurement Technology
- Precision Flow Sensing: Utilizes state - of - the - art sensing technologies, including electromagnetic, turbine, or ultrasonic principles, to provide highly accurate flow rate measurement. The measurement accuracy reaches ±0.5% - ±2% of the full - scale value, enabling precise control over water or coffee liquid flow during the brewing process.
- Wide Flow Range: Capable of measuring flow rates from 0.1 L/min to 10 L/min, catering to diverse coffee machine types. Whether it's the small - volume, high - precision requirements of espresso extraction (e.g., 0.3 L/min) or the larger - volume needs of drip coffee makers (up to 5 L/min), this flow meter delivers consistent and reliable data.
- Fast Response: With a response time of ≤50 milliseconds, the flow meter can quickly detect and react to changes in flow rate, ensuring real - time monitoring and adjustment for optimal coffee extraction results.
3. Robust Design and Functional Features
- Electromagnetic Flow Meters: Ideal for high - pressure applications (e.g., commercial espresso machines), offering non - intrusive measurement without mechanical moving parts, reducing wear and tear and minimizing pressure loss.
- Turbine Flow Meters: Suitable for medium - flow applications in residential and small - scale commercial machines, providing high - precision measurement through the rotation of a turbine driven by the fluid flow.
- Ultrasonic Flow Meters: Perfect for low - flow and low - pressure scenarios, offering contactless measurement, high accuracy, and easy integration into smart coffee machine systems.
- Sealing and Connection: Features food - grade EPDM, resistant to high temperatures and coffee - related substances, ensuring zero leakage with a leakage rate of ≤0.05 mL/min. Available with various connection types, including threaded (G1/4", NPT 3/8") and quick - connect fittings (6mm/8mm OD), for seamless integration into different coffee machine setups.
- Protection and Durability: IP65 - rated protection against dust and water splashes, suitable for the humid and messy environment inside coffee machines. The flow meter is designed to withstand over 500,000 hours of continuous operation, ensuring long - term reliability even under heavy - duty usage.
