Ideal for accurately monitoring pump performance and media flows through hydraulic circuits and sub-circuits
Choice of three materials of constructions:
Select from aluminum, brass or stainless steel to meet system and media compatibility requirements.
Unrestricted mounting: Allows the designer to install the meter in any orientation – horizontal, vertical or inverted.
Superior exterior design: Weather-tight for use outdoors and/or on systems where wash downs are required.
Good viscosity stability:
A sharp-edged stainless steel orifice provides excellent measurement stability for viscosities from 0-500 SSU.
Rugged & reliable: Designed as a hydraulic service tool, this meter will provide years of maintenance-free performance.
High pressure operation:
The magnetically coupled follower and rigid pressure vessel design allows operation to 6000 PSIG and use with opaque liquids.
24 different ports available:
Standard selection of NPT, SAE and BSP ports reduces the amount of adapters required for installation.
Low cost accuracy: ± 2.5% of range accuracy in center third of scale; ±4% in upper and lower thirds.
Bi-directional & reverse flow option offered: Basic in-line liquid flow rate meters are also available in bi-directional and reverse flow versions
