Product Specifications
Thermo Scientific DCT6088
Dedicated Transit Time Flowmeter
Flexible & Easy-to-Use
Combining digital signal processing (DSP)
with correlation detection methods, the
Thermo Scientific DCT6088 features
exceptional performance and flexibility.
It tolerates higher concentrations of gas
bubbles or entrained solids compared to
traditional transit time flowmeters which are
principally designed for extremely clean liquid
applications only. The non-intrusive, clampon
transducers can be installed without flow
interruption and ensure leak-free measurements
with zero pressure drop. The simple, menudriven
operation of the DCT6088 allows the
meter to be commissioned in a fraction of
the time necessary for competitive transit
time flowmeters.
Engineered for Maximum Uptime
Housed in a rugged IP65 enclosure and
qualified for -40°C (-40°F) operation, the
DCT6088 is well-suited to most industrial
environments. The high resolution, backlit
LCD provides excellent visibility even
in poorly lit conditions. Outputs include
a 12-bit digital, optically-isolated, 4-20 mA
analog signal and RS232 serial interface.
Programmable Relays for Remote Output
Up to four programmable relays can be
specified. The relays may be used as a contact
output to a remote device such as an alarm,
totalizer, sampler or chlorinator. A powerful
30,000 point data logger programmable
in intervals of one second or more is also
incorporated in the flowmeter.
Modular & Simple to Service
The plug-in, modular construction of the
instrument simplifies field service and,
in the unlikely event of failure, permits
the boards to be replaced in seconds.
The DCT6088 features many parts which
are common to other Thermo Scientific
flowmeters, dramatically reducing spare
parts inventory at sites where multiple
meters are in service.
Sample Applications
• HVAC
• Potable water
• Ultrapure liquid
• Deionized water
• Petroleum products
• Water and waste management
The Thermo Scientific DCT6088
advanced transit time flowmeter
employs a unique digital correlation
technique to reliably measure the flow
of clean liquids. Designed for use
on pipes of all sizes, the non-intrusive
device is easy-to-install, simple
to operate, and eliminates pressure
loss and leakage which reduces
downtime and increases profit potential.
