Often referred to as “rotameters”, the Basic Inline VA meter is a low-cost alternative to other flow meters, and 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:

  • Pump performance monitoring
  • Hydraulic circuits
  • Cooling systems
