Orifice Flowmeter

The RCM Flo-Gage is a direct reading flow meter with a large, easy to read dial calibrated in engineering units (GPM, SCFM, l/m, etc.) The Flo-Gage measures flow based on a pressure diffential created across a built-in calibrated nozzle. The meter is self-contained and complete, seperate orifices, or blocking, purging or equalizing valves

The Flo-Gage is suitable for measuring water, oil and most other low viscocity liquids which do not deposit out and which are compatible with the materials of construction. The Flo-Gage is also suitable for measuring compressed air, oxygen, carbon dioxide and many other non-toxic compressed gases. (Specify Option I). Saturated steam can also be measured up to 120 psig. (Option K).



The Flo-Gage can be fitted with a transmitter with current or frequency outputs for remote indication or totalization, or with reed switch contacts for signaling high or low flows

Features:

  • Sturdy, in-line, metal contruction to withstand piping stresses
  • Black on white dial won't crack, glaze or bcome hard to read with age
  • Expanded analog 270ºC dial for reading at a glance
  • Large 3.5" (90mm) dial
  • Suitable for use with both opaque and clear fluids
  • Measures 6:1 range with ± F.S. accuracy
  • Dial and case factory configured for quick installation-but easily field reconfigured if needed
