Armored Flow Meter

Armored Flow Meters - Series 55-200

The Series 55-200 Armored Flow Meter is an inexpensive, 5% accuracy flowmeter. This 316 stainless steel meter gives reliable flow indication of aggressive fluids making it ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature flow applications. Its plug and orifice design, overall simplicity, and minimal parts add up to an economical meter.

Size for size, our Armored Flow Meters provide high capacities, reliable indication and transmission of flow, and dependable service.

Features

Available options include a 4-20mA output flow signal and high/low alarm switch.
Meter sizes (pipe connections) are ½-, 1-, 1½-, and 2- inches FNPT with capacities up to 130 GPM (492 LPM) water and 150 SCFM (4200 LPM) air at STP.
Operating range is 10:1.
Mounting is vertical in line with NPT female connections.
All wetted parts are stainless steel (except polypropylene and TFE floats); Buna-N, Viton® or EPR O-rings.
The float has an encapsulated alnico magnet.

Flow Controllers

The flow measurement product line offers three types of flow controllers:

Series 5700 General Purpose Flow Controller
Series 5750 High Pressure Flow Controller
Series 5800 Purge Type Flow Controller.

Each is designed to maintain a constant set flow rate regardless of variations in the line pressure. All of these basic arrangements are suitable for gas and liquid service.

Varea-Meter Flow Controller 5700 500x500 100dpi

The Series 5700 General Purpose type has a broad range of applications. It can be used with almost any equipment or within any flow system in which the process fluid is compatible with 316 stainless steel construction.

It is ideally suited for the Armored Purge Meters, Armored Flow Meters, Glass-tube Varea-Meter® units, or as a stand-alone controller with other meter types.

Varea-Meter Flow Meters 5750 and 5800 800x500 100dpi

The Series 5800 and 5750 purge type flow controllers are engineered specifically for use with the Glass-tube Purge Meters, Low-flow Meters, and Arma-View®II Armored Purge Meters. The Series 5800 purge-type flow controller is engineered specifically for use with glass-tube purge meters. The Series 5750 high pressure flow controller is designed for use with purge meters in high pressure and temperature applications (1000 PSI and 400 degF MAX). Both the 5800 and 5750 series controllers are offered in an inlet or outlet flow configuration for added versatility.

Features

Simple, Direct Design. The clean, straight-through design makes it simple to integrate these controllers within a system. Installation piping is direct and uncomplicated.
Reliable and Accurate Operation. These controllers maintain a constant set flow rate by sustaining a constant pressure drop across their orifices. The size of the orifice is varied while the pressure drop is held constant. This balance provides a set flow despite changes in the supply pressures.
Sturdy Construction. The housing and valve stem for all controllers is constructed of 316 SS, while the diaphragm is made from highly chemical resistant Teflon material.

Key Benefits

Choice of integral and stand alone design allows for flexible installation options
Easily adapt to existing meters
Reliable and accurate operation despite changes in the supply pressures
Chemically resistant to many process conditions
Wide spectrum of flow rates and pressures allowable
Easy to integrate controllers within the system with direct and uncomplicated
