Flowmeter in Arnite – code: FHKU56 – HP Watermakers

Flowmeter in Arnite HP Watermakers – code FHKU56

The flowmeter in Arnite code FHKU56 is a spare part intended for water circuits of HP Watermakers desalters. It is a flowmeter / flow sensor used for reading the flow in the circuit and for sending the related data to the plant control system, thus supporting the operational monitoring of the desalter.

Component features and details

Identifying data

• Manufacturer: HP Watermakers
• Supplier product code: FHKU56
• Type: flowmeter / flow sensor
• Application: water circuits of HP Watermakers desalters

Body material: Arnite

The flowmeter body is made of Arnite, a technical material identified as PBT reinforced with glass fiber. This type of material is commonly used for flow sensor bodies in plant engineering due to characteristics such as dimensional stability and the resistance to chemical agents (in general terms, without reference to specific operating conditions).

Function of the FHKU56 flowmeter

In HP Watermakers systems, flow sensors are used to control the operational parameters of the desalter. In particular, the FHKU56 flowmeter has the function of:

• measuring the water flow in the circuit;
• providing the flow data to the desalter control system;
• allowing the monitoring of production and the correct functioning of the plant.

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

This flowmeter is indicated as a spare part for HP Watermakers desalination units where a flow sensor is provided in the water circuit. In a nautical context, the flow reading is useful information for system management and operational checks during use.

During maintenance, the correct identification of the component through code FHKU56 is the most important element to avoid incompatibilities and incorrect replacements.

Advantages during replacement and maintenance

• Immediate identification: the code FHKU56 allows unique identification of the spare part within the HP Watermakers spare parts.
• Component dedicated to the water circuit: designed for use as a flow sensor in the brand's desalination units.
• Body in Arnite (glass fiber reinforced PBT): typical solution for sensors in plant engineering, chosen for general properties of stability and chemical resistance.
• Support for system control: contributes to the availability of flow data for the control system and monitoring of operation.

Usage and operational notes

Code verification: before purchase and installation, verify that the requested spare part matches the code FHKU56 reported in the system documentation or on the installed component.

Installation: since it is a sensor inserted in the water circuit and connected to the control system, installation must be carried out following the procedures provided by the system manufacturer, paying attention to orientation, connections, and circuit sealing.

Diagnosis and replacement: in case of abnormal readings or absence of flow signal, replacement of the flowmeter may be part of maintenance activities. For correct diagnosis, it is advisable to refer to the desalination unit's control logic and the checks provided by the HP Watermakers manual.

Order advice

To reduce system downtime, it is useful to always include in the request the code FHKU56 and the reference HP Watermakers, thus facilitating the identification of the spare part within the flowmeter category.
