VARIABLE AREA FLOW METER for Liquid & Gases

Measuring device with built-in glass or plastic measuring cone and choice of connections for universal application
The Variable Area Flowmeters are produced with tapered glass tubes designed for the measurement of liquids and gases. The devices are of uniform construction but available with various connections all conforming to standards.

The flowmeters are designed for installation in a vertical pipe run with flow from bottom to top. A customized scale is provided on the measuring glass. The glass cone allows direct indication of the flow value.
