Bi-Directional Variable Area Flow Meter
Similar to the Basic, the Bi-Directional VA Meter offers a low-cost alternative to other flow meters, but is uniquely suited to systems where the flow direction changes. Ports are available in brass, aluminum, and stainless steel to meet system and fluid requirements. The rugged, weather-proof design allows for outdoor installation and wash-downs, unrestricted mounting (horizontal, vertical, and inverted), as well as years of maintenance-free performance. The meter allows for operation up to 6,000 psi, and is offered in NPT, SAE, and BSPP ports, eliminating the need for adapters.
Applications include:
- Bi-Directional Hydraulic circuits
- Cooling systems
- Wherever flow needs to be measured in both directions
-

- Cooling systems
-
Case Drain Flow Meter
The Case Drain Flow Meter was designed specifically for monitoring case drain and pump performance and identifying when maintenance is required. The rugged, weather-proof design allows for outdoor installation and wash-downs, unrestricted mounting (horizontal, vertical, and inverted), as well as years of maintenance-free performance. The meter specs are targeted to case drain monitoring allows for operation up to 1,000 psi and is offered in NPTF aluminum ports.
Applications include:
- Case drain monitoring
- Pump performance monitoring
-
ClearView Value Variable Area Flow Meter
The ClearView Value Flow Meter was designed as a economical tool to monitor flow rates and visually inspect fluid conditions through the transparent body, enabling quick diagnosis of problems at a glance. Mounting can be done in any direction (horizontal, vertical, or inverted) and does not require straight run piping. The compact design measures less than 8 inches long for installation in tight spaces. ClearView meters are offered in Polycarbonate (for water) and Polysulfone (for oil) with brass or Ryton ports.
Applications include:
- Municipal pressure water flows
- Case drain flows
- Pump output verification
-
Variable Area Flow Rate Alarm
The Flow Rate Alarm is a rugged “flow switch” device that monitors flow and sends a signal using simple on/off logic if rates are out of spec. The weather tight NEMA 4x cast aluminum enclosure allows for outdoor installation and washdowns. Alarm settings are easily adjusted in the field with an allen wrench. The standard Hirschman interconnection provides easy installation and maintenance.
Applications include:
- Cooling systems
- Lubrication systems
- Mobile hydraulic equipment
- Industrial process control systems
-
Variable Area Flow Rate Transmitter
This simple to install, all-in-one unit is fully assembled and factory calibrated for easy installation. They provide proportional analog or pulse outputs that will drive popular data acquisition devices, meters, and analog input cards. In addition to the transmitted flow data, the transmitter also provides visual flow levels on the local scale. The weather tight NEMA 4x cast aluminum enclosure allows for installation outdoors and where liquid-tight seals are required.
Applications include:
- Batching
- Industrial process control systems
- Mobile hydraulic equipment
- Computer or PLC controlled hydraulic system monitoring
-
High Temperature Variable Area Flow Meter
The High Temp VA Meter is a low-cost alternative to other flow meters, and is available in brass, aluminum, and stainless steel to meet system and fluid requirements. Designed for high temperature fluids, this meter is available in two series: H-Series for fluids up to 400°F, and the J-Series for fluids up to 600°F. The rugged, weather-proof design allows for outdoor installation and wash-downs, unrestricted mounting (horizontal, vertical, and inverted), as well as years of maintenance-free performance. The meter allows measures flows from 0.1 to 150 GPM, and is offered in NPT, SAE, and BSPP ports.
Applications include:
- Barrel heating fluids
- Thermal transfer fluids, such as Syltherm
- Coolant flows
- Hydraulic circuits & sub-circuits
-
Hydraulic System Test Analyzer
The Hydraulic Test Analyzer is a versatile and dependable tool used for troubleshooting and predictive maintenance, allowing you to schedule component repairs and rebuilds. Small enough to fit in a toolbox, this multi-measurement tool requires no power to simultaneously measure flow rate, pressure, and temperature.
Applications include:
- Diagnose faults in hydraulic circuits
- Determine horsepower
- Test for component wear
- Detect cylinder leaks
-
Phosphate Ester Flow Meter
The Phosphate Ester Flow Meter was designed specifically for monitoring aviation lubricants or fluids with very low specific gravity. The rugged, weather-proof design allows for outdoor installation and wash-downs, unrestricted mounting (horizontal, vertical, and inverted), as well as years of maintenance-free performance. It is available in brass, aluminum, and stainless steel to meet system and fluid requirements and can handle pressures up to 6000 psi.
Applications include:
- Aviation lubricants such as Skydrol®
- Fire retardants such as Pydraul®, Fyrquil® and Houghton 900 series
-
Pneumatic Flow Meters
Pneumatic Flow Meters
(259)The Pneumatic Flow Meter offers flow rate measurement of air and industrial gases. The rugged, weather-proof design allows for outdoor installation and wash-downs, unrestricted mounting (horizontal, vertical, and inverted), as well as years of maintenance-free performance. It is available in brass, aluminum and stainless steel to meet system and media compatibility requirements and in NPT, SAE and BSPP ports.
Applications include:

- Measuring industrial gas flows
-
WTA Series Hydraulic Analyzer
The WTA Hydraulic Analyzer is a tool to measureflow, pressure and temperature on mobile industrial equipment. It can be connected inline between the pump and valve for convenient machine testing. When fluid flows in the reverse direction, WTA will allow full flow to pass through at low pressure, but will not measure the reverse flow. The high-quality steel case withstands the most rigorous use out in the field.
Applications include:
- Hydraulic testing on mobile industrial vehicles
- Hydraulic testing on agricultural equipment
