HM-U Hydraulic System Turbine Flow Meter

The HM-U Hydraulic System Turbine Flow Meter was designed specifically to measure hydraulic fluids for precise regulation and control of flow rates in hydraulic systems.
Datasheet

The HM-U Hydraulic System Turbine Flow Meter was designed specifically to measure hydraulic fluids  like those used in the testing the performance components such as pumps, valves, and fittings. The HM-U is also a great choice for accurately measuring the flow rate of Hydraulic Power Units (HPU). This real-time data helps ensure that the hydraulic fluid flow remains within specified parameters, essential for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the HPU. By monitoring flow rates, the HPU aids in detecting leaks, blockages, or performance issues, enabling timely maintenance and optimal operation of hydraulic machinery Due to the compact and lightweight design of the HM-U, they can be used in mobile applications. Other benefits of the HM-U include:

  • Flexible 3-in-1 Instrument:  Integrated connections for optional pressure and temperature measurement.
  • Compact, Lightweight:  Machined Aluminum (DIN 3.4365) for portable applications.
  • Compatibility with Sensors: Easy to integrate with AW-Lake’s EDGE flow sensor.
