Operating Principle

M-Series flow meters are based on the proven oval rotor principle, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability. Precision engineering eliminates pockets in which liquid can stagnate within the measuring chamber of the flow meter.
A pair of intermeshing ellipsoidal gears rotate on shafts and sweep the chamber. Each rotation measures a small volume of trapped liquid, independent of viscosity or density. Magnets located in the gears enable each rotation to be picked up by reed switches or hall sensors located in a secondary chamber within the meter body. A nominal pulses per litre value is arrived at in this way.
Each meter is individually tested to ensure that it performs within calibration parameters. The results are detailed on the NATA traceable certificate which accompanies each flow meter.

Reliability

M-Series meters are designed to contain very few wearable and replaceable parts. Meter construction enables fast and easy on-site servicing without the need to remove the body from the pipe work.

M1 & M2 low flow models

The smallest models in the M-Series range provide low cost high resolution pulse meters capable of measuring fluids with viscosity's from 1 to 1000 centipoise. Body and rotor materials are either PPS or 316 S/Steel with Hastalloy C shafts available for extremely aggressive chemicals. Pulse output is either Hall effect or reed switch.

M5 to M50 small to high flow models

Higher pressure ratings than the standard M1 & M2 as well as a variety of connection types, pulse output and display options make for a high degree of diversity among the rest of the models within the M-Series range.
Aluminium or 316 S/steel bodies and a choice of PPS or S/Steel rotors are some of the options designed to help you tailor the flow meter to your particular needs. All models feature exceptionally low pressure drops of less than 1 Bar at full flow allowing for economical pump selection or gravity fed applications.

Display Options

Head mounted and remote display options specific to M-Series meters are available, although various output options ensure M-Series meters are compatible with many types of third party instrumentation.

Applications

M-Series meters will accurately measure, mix, batch and dose an extremely wide variety of fluid mediums including aggressive and intrinsically safe applications. A choice of construction and sealing materials coupled with high viscosity and high temperature options enable the engineer to select a model which is tailored to the application at hand.


M1 Series 1/4" Flow Meters

M1 - 1/4" Pulse Meters

The M1 is the smallest capacity meter in the range. An excellent turn-down 100:1 and high resolution (1 pulse per cc) make this meter an ideal choice for accurate low flow metering.

It has the ability to handle a wide range of fluid viscosities with exceptional levels of repeatability and durability.

A New high pressure M1 (551 bar) has recently been introduced
