Pneumatic Flow Meters

Ideal for monitoring air compressor outputs, pneumatic tool consumption and industrial gas flows.
Choice of three materials construction: 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.
Rugged & reliable: These meters are constructed with all metal pressure vessels, allowing safe, permanent installation in industrial systems.
High pressure opertion: The magnetically coupled follower and rigid pressure vessel design allows operation to 1000 PSIG.
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.
