Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Flo-Gage™ and Flo-Gard II™ Direct Reading Differential Pressure Flow Meters: Core product lines for liquid and gas flow measurement. These flow meters utilize the principle of pressure drop proportional to the square of the flow rate to measure flow. They feature large analog dials that directly display flow rates in engineering units such as GPM, SCFM, and l/m. The design is self-contained, requiring no external power, separate orifices, or blocking/purging valves.Flo-Gage™andFlo-GardII™DirectReadingDifferentialPressureFlowMeters:Coreproductlinesforliquidandgasflowmeasurement.Theseflowmetersutilizetheprincipleofpressuredropproportionaltothesquareoftheflowratetomeasureflow.TheyfeaturelargeanalogdialsthatdirectlydisplayflowratesinengineeringunitssuchasGPM,SCFM,andl/m.Thedesignisself-contained,requiringnoexternalpower,separateorifices,orblocking/purgingvalves.

Key Features and Performance: Intuitive readability through a large 3.5-inch (90mm) 270-degree analog dial. Offers a wide measurement range of 6:1, ensuring precision with ±3% F.S. accuracy and 1% repeatability. Liquid flow rates can be measured from 4 GPH (15 l/h) in a 1/2-inch meter up to 3000 GPM (1200 l/m) in an 8-inch meter. Gas flow rates range from 40 SCFH (1 Nm3/h) in a 1/2-inch meter to 20,000 SCFM (600 Nm3/m) in an 8-inch meter.KeyFeaturesandPerformance:Intuitivereadabilitythroughalarge3.5-inch(90mm)270-degreeanalogdial.Offersawidemeasurementrangeof6:1,ensuringprecisionwith±3%F.S.accuracyand1%repeatability.Liquidflowratescanbemeasuredfrom4GPH(15l/h)ina1/2-inchmeterupto3000GPM(1200l/m)inan8-inchmeter.Gasflowratesrangefrom40SCFH(1Nm3/h)ina1/2-inchmeterto20,000SCFM(600Nm3/m)inan8-inchmeter.
Additional Products and Options: Flow switches include independently adjustable Reed Switches to provide signals at specific flow conditions. Two-wire flow transmitters offer a 4-20mA current output for remote indication, recording, or totalization. Digital display flow meters show instantaneous, total, and accumulated total flow rates. Flo-Vu™ Sight Flow Indicators and Compressed Air Survey Kits for detecting and eliminating leaks in compressed air systems are also available.AdditionalProductsandOptions:FlowswitchesincludeindependentlyadjustableReedSwitchestoprovidesignalsatspecificflowconditions.Two-wireflowtransmittersoffera4-20mAcurrentoutputforremoteindication,recording,ortotalization.Digitaldisplayflowmetersshowinstantaneous,total,andaccumulatedtotalflowrates.Flo-Vu™SightFlowIndicatorsandCompressedAirSurveyKitsfordetectingandeliminatingleaksincompressedairsystemsarealsoavailable.
