High-Precision Oval Gear Flowmeter Solution for Flux Measurement
Overcoming Flux Metering Challenges: CX-P2-F Oval Gear Flowmeter's High-Precision NPN Pulse Output Solution
In the electronics manufacturing industry, the precise proportioning of flux is crucial to soldering quality. Traditional flowmeters often face challenges such as corrosion, accuracy drift, or signal interference with this weakly acidic, low-viscosity chemical liquid.
For low-flow flux spraying and delivery scenarios (10-300 mL/min), the CX-P2-F oval gear flowmeter, with its PPS corrosion-resistant material and NPN pulse output, has become the industry's preferred high-performance solution.
Why must PPS material be used for flux metering?
Fluoride typically contains weakly acidic components such as organic acids, which are highly corrosive to metal components. While ordinary aluminum or stainless steel flowmeters can be used for short periods, prolonged contact with acidic liquids poses a risk of casing corrosion and bearing seizure.

The CX-P2-F features an all-PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) housing and gear design, offering the following significant advantages:
Superior Chemical Resistance: PPS material exhibits extremely high inertness to weak acids, alkalis, and various organic solvents, completely eliminating the risk of flux corrosion and ensuring long-term durability.
No Metal Contamination: All wetted parts are made of non-metallic materials, preventing metal ion contamination of the flux and ensuring the cleanliness of electronic components.
Self-Lubrication and Wear Resistance: PPS gears possess excellent self-lubricating properties, enabling the measurement of low-viscosity liquids and maintaining high accuracy in non-lubricating weak acid media.
Technical Matching for Harsh Operating Conditions: From Viscosity to Pressure Resistance
The CX-P2-F was designed to address the metering challenges of low-viscosity, highly permeable liquids like flux.
Coping with 10cp Low Viscosity: Flux viscosity is close to water (10cp), easily causing leakage in traditional flow meters and leading to decreased accuracy. As a representative of positive displacement flow meters, oval gears are inherently insensitive to viscosity. Through precise gear meshing, they effectively prevent liquid slippage, maintaining a high accuracy of ±1% across the entire flow range.
8bar Pressure Resistance and Wide Temperature Range: This flow meter supports a wide temperature range of -30~80℃ and an 8bar pressure resistance, perfectly adapting to the pressure delivery of flux storage tanks and seasonal changes in workshop environments.
The Cornerstone of Smart Manufacturing: NPN Pulse Output
Modern SMT production lines pursue automation and data-driven processes. The NPN pulse output signal provided by the CX-P2-F is the best bridge connecting PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and industrial control systems.
Strong Anti-interference Capability: The NPN open-collector output has extremely strong anti-electrical noise capabilities, adapting to the complex electromagnetic environment generated by high-power equipment such as SMT placement machines and reflow soldering machines.
Real-time Flow Monitoring: The sensor outputs a pulse for every unit volume of flow. The PLC captures these signals through a high-speed counting channel, enabling real-time calculation of instantaneous flow rate and accumulation of total flow, achieving closed-loop PID control of flux application.
Installation and Connection: Ease of Installation with G1/4 Threads
In space-constrained equipment, ease of installation is crucial. The CX-P2-F is equipped with a standard G1/4 threaded interface, offering two significant advantages:
High Versatility: The G1/4 interface is an industry standard in fluid piping, compatible with the vast majority of flux delivery hoses and fittings on the market.
Reliable Sealing: With PTFE tape or sealing gaskets, a leak-proof seal is guaranteed even under high-frequency pulse delivery conditions.
