model T single flow tube PTFE meters
Designed for low flowrates, the model T flowmeter is a precision instrument embodying the inherent simplicity, versatility and economy of the classical variable area meter. It is particularly suitable for metering carrier gases in chromatography, indicating and controlling gases in manufacturing processes, liquid and gas measurement in laboratories, pilot plants, flow and level indicating, etc. 150 mm Meter with CV™ Valve. Shipped completely assembled, flowmeters include standard mounting fittings in a choice of materials, side plates, thick protective magnifying front shield and back plate, optional built-in control valve, and flowtubes selected from the Flow Capacities tables. Panel mounting style is convertible to bench mounting through the use of the optional acrylic tripod. The tripod has a built-in spirit leveler and leveling screws.
BUILT-IN VALVESMeters are available with built-in needle valves (CVT™ ), high precision metering valves (HRT™) with “non-rising stems”, or with no valves. The higher cost of HRT™ valves is justified whenever high sensitivity control and resolution are desirable particularly in conjunction with metering tubes of very low flowrates.
When meters with valves are ordered the valve cartridges are installed at the inlet. For vacuum service it is recommended that meters are ordered with valves at the outlet.
