RCM Industries liquid Flow Meters

The Flo-Gage flowmeter has been developed for industrical applications where durability and reliability are important considerations in the monitoring of flow. The Flo-Gage has accuracy for most industrial processes and is particularly suited for applications where compactness, low cost, minimal maintenance and resistance to accidental damage are important factors.

Available with:

Liquid meters are suitable for potable and non-potable water, irrigation water, glycol-water mixtures, fuel oils, lubricating oils, gasoline and many other low and medium viscosity liquids (maximum viscosity 500 centipoise).

All meters are available in either threaded or flanged connections and in Bronze, Monel or 316SS.

 
Features:
  • Sturdy in-line metal construction to withstand piping stresses without breaking.
  • Black on white dial won't crack, glaze or become hard to read with age.
  • Expanded 3.5" (90mm) 270° analog dial for reading at a glance.
  • Suitable for use with both opaque and clear fluids.
  • Measures 6:1 range with 3% F.S. Accuracy.
  • Dial and case factory configured for quick installation - but easily field re-configured if needed.
  • Liquid flow ranges from 4 GPH (15 l/h) in 1/2" meter to 3000 GPM (1200 l/m) in 8" meter.
  • Gas flow ranges from 40 SCFH (1 Nm3/h) in 1/2" meter to 20,000 SCFM (600 Nm3/m) in 8" meter.

Application Examples:
Cooling Systems
Monitor correct cooling flow to machinery. Protect valuable equipment by using a low flow switch to shut down machinery before damage. The Flo-GageTM will not foul with small debris frequently found in cooling systems. Fouling can cause typical flow switches to stick and fail to detect low flow conditions.
 
Lubrication Oil System
Flo-gages are ideal for measuring lube-oil. They do not require that the oil be transparent to be measured. Low flow switches can add additional protection.
 
Cutting Oil Systems
Proper flow of cutting oil is essential to machining operations. Automatic machines which run unattended require monitoring of the flow of cutting fluids. The gage allows quick setting of the proper flow rate. The low flow switch can stop machines before bad parts are produced or equipment damaged.
 
REMOTE READOUT

Adapters and 3-way equalizing valve provide extended temperature ranges or remote mount for more convenient viewing. Ask for Option R2

Option W3:  Current Output.  Uses a solid state strain gauge to sense the differential pressure directly. Conditions which could cause the mechanical movement zero to shift will not affect the output from this transmitter.  This transmitter provides improved rangeability at low flow rate and accordingly, does not include a low flow cutoff.  Output is proportional to flow rate squared r².  Square root extraction is required in the receiving device.
