HC100 Flow Meter Data Sheet: Compact In-Line Volumetric Sensor Specifications for Machinery
Quick Answer
The HC100 is a compact in-line volumetric flow sensor for hydraulic oil, diesel fuel, gear oil, coolants, and light lubricants in machinery. The data sheet lists pipe sizes DN10 to DN50, pulse output, 4-20 mA, and RS485 Modbus RTU as standard. Silver Automation Instruments supplies the HC100 with stainless steel or aluminum bodies. Accuracy is ±0.5% of reading with repeatability of ±0.1% across a viscosity range from 1 to 1000 cP.
What the HC100 Compact In-Line Volumetric Sensor Does
The HC100 uses positive displacement measuring gears. Fluid enters the inlet port, fills the gear chamber, and rotates two precision gears. Each gear rotation displaces a fixed volume. A non-contact sensor picks up the gear movement and converts the gear rotation to a pulse. The pulse rate is proportional to flow rate.
Most engineers skip the internal design. The fixed displacement design is the reason the HC100 works well with thick fluids. A turbine meter loses accuracy when viscosity changes. The HC100 does not need viscosity compensation from 1 to 1000 cP. We have seen this on customer sites many times in hydraulic test stands and diesel consumption monitoring.
HC100 Data Sheet Specifications for Machinery
The standard HC100 body is available in anodized aluminum or 316L stainless steel. For water glycol and high water based fluids, choose the stainless steel body with PTFE seals. For diesel and mineral oil, FKM seals work fine. The stainless steel version handles pressure up to 420 bar. The aluminum version is rated to 200 bar. Fluid temperature range is -20°C to 120°C. A high temperature option extends to 150°C. Port sizes cover DN10, DN15, DN20, DN25, DN40, and DN50. Flow range starts at 0.02 L/min for DN10 and reaches 120 L/min for DN50.
Output options are pulse, 4-20 mA, RS485 Modbus RTU, and optional HART. Power supply is 12 to 30 VDC. The sensor uses M12 or cable gland electrical connection. Protection is IP67 as standard. The HC100 data sheet also lists ATEX Zone 2 as an option for paint and solvent dosing lines. Silver Automation Instruments can add PT100 temperature output if you need density correction on a fuel oil skid.
Machinery Applications Where the HC100 Fits
The compact in-line body works well in hydraulic power units, lubrication skids, diesel generator fuel lines, gearbox test benches, and coolant dosing for CNC machines. Buyers in Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, and Mexico order the HC100 for OEM machine panels. A test bench builder in Ho Chi Minh City ordered 12 HC100 units last quarter. They used DN15 stainless steel bodies with pulse output to verify hydraulic oil flow before motors ship out. A diesel generator packager in Perth uses the DN20 aluminum version on fuel return lines. The RS485 output sends data to a central controller without extra wiring.
Here is the thing. The HC100 is not for water with large so
Installation and Start Up Notes
Mount the HC100 after a filter. Keep the sensor full of liquid. Air pockets cause the pulse signal to drop or spike. For hydraulic lines with high vibration, use a mounting bracket and flexible hoses. Install the sensor with flow in the direction of the arrow on the body. Allow 10 pipe diameters of straight run upstream if the line has a partially open valve before the meter. In practice, most machinery skids have enough straight run after the filter manifold.
We have seen incorrect wiring cause more returns than any mechanical problem. Check the power supply polarity before connecting the M12 plug. The pulse output is an open collector. Use a pull up resistor sized to the PLC input. For 4-20 mA wiring, use a shielded twisted pair and ground the shield at one end only.
Model Code and Ordering
Use this model code structure for a quick quote: HC100-DN size-body material-seal option-output. For a DN15 hydraulic test stand, specify HC100-DN15-SS-FKM-420P. For diesel fuel on a generator skid, specify HC100-DN20-AL-FKM-RS485. If the fluid is water glycol, change the seal option to PTFE. If the area is classified, add ATEX Zone 2.

FAQ
What fluids can the HC100 measure?
The HC100 measures clean lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, diesel fuel, gear oil, coolants, water glycol, and light chemicals. Viscosity range is 1 to 1000 cP. Avoid liquids with hard particles or abrasive solids.
What output signals does the HC100 support?
Standard outputs are pulse, 4-20 mA, and RS485 Modbus RTU. Optional HART is available. PT100 temperature output can be added for fuel density correction.
Which pipe sizes are available for machinery use?
The HC100 data sheet lists DN10, DN15, DN20, DN25, DN40, and DN50. The compact body length helps when cabinet space is tight. Flow range depends on DN size.
How accurate is the HC100 for hydraulic oil?
Accuracy is ±0.5% of reading for viscosity from 1 to 1000 cP. Repeatability is ±0.1%. The measuring gears maintain accuracy without viscosity compensation.
Can the HC100 handle high pressure lubrication lines?
Yes. The 316L stainless steel housing is rated up to 420 bar. The aluminum housing is rated up to 200 bar. State the operating pressure when requesting a quote.
