The Flomec Medium Capacity Flow Meters provide precise volumetric flow measurements of clean liquids found in a wide range of industries including automotive, aviation, mining, power, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, paint & petroleum.
The direct volumetric measurement from the positive displacement design gives you a flow measurement that is unaffected by changes in temperature, pressure, or viscosity – factors that can cause measurement errors in other flow meter technologies.
Suitable applications include the: distribution of fuels, fuel oils, lubricants, alcohols, and solvents, the blending of bio & ethanol fuels, and the metering of chemicals, grease, adhesives, ink, insecticides & non-conductive liquids either pumped or gravity-fed non-conductive liquids.
With a simple and reliable design concept using only two moving parts, they provide long service life and minimised maintenance costs.
