Dwyer Rate-Master VA Flowmeter

Dwyer Rate-Master® Flowmeters are low cost, simple variable area flowmeter.  Utilising traditional technology, Dwyer Rate-Master flowmeters are suitable for both gas and liquid applications. Measurement is via a simple direct reading scale.  This Series consists of 2″ (51 mm), 5″ (127 mm) and 10″ (254 mm) scales that can be panel or surface mounted with optional precision metering valves. These variable area flowmeters are intended for vertical installation with upwards flow.  Within a given Series, the Rate-Master® flowmeter bodies can be instantly interchanged, allowing the piping to remain undisturbed, interchangeability of the ranges, and easy cleaning.

Dwyer Rate-Master VA Flowmeters benefits

• Direct reading scales eliminate the need for troublesome conversions
• Stainless steel backbone absorbs piping torque reducing installation damage and cost
• Shatter-proof polycarbonate allows for long operation life
• Precision injection moulding around a precision tapered pin enables high repeatability
• Increased reading accuracy with special integral flow guides that stabilize float movement
• Scale graduations on both side of the indicating tube allow for instantaneous flow reading saving time
