Flo-Meter™

FLOW MEASUREMENT FOR GASES AND LIQUIDS

The UPC-Marathon Flo-Meter™ is a rugged and cost-efficient flow meter for gases and liquids. Its machined aluminum structure ensures reliable performance and long service life. The patented float rod assembly is the meter’s only moving part. Each Flo-Meter is calibrated to VDE/VDI 3513 of reading in Waukee’s ISO/IEC17025:2005 accredited laboratory.

ACCURACY:
The accuracy of the Flo-Meter™ is built-in through the individual calibration of each meter for the specific gas, pressure, temperature, and rate of flow required. Every Waukee Flo-Meter is calibrated to within +/- 3.50% of actual flow reading.

CALIBRATION (N.I.S.T. Traceability):
On request, a 3pt, 8pt, or 13pt Calibration Curve can be provided with a Flo-Meter™ that is traceable to the National Industry of Standards and Technology.
