Variable Area flow meters are a type of rotameter that measure oils, liquids or gases by relating linear displacement of an internal “float” or sharp-edged orifice plate to a corresponding flow rate.
TRICOR Coriolis flow meters are highly accurate and repeatable multi-variable instruments that measure mass flow, density, and temperature with calculated volumetric flow and feature a very easy user interface.
Operating much like a turbine flow meter, the paddle wheel flow meter consists of a freely rotating wheel which is outfitted with magnets on the blades or “paddles” of the wheel.
Helical gear ("screw-type") flow meters are designed for measuring highly viscous, abrasive, and filled fluids including lubricating and non-lubricating media, such as polyurethane, polymers, greases and oils.
Axial turbine flow meters are designed with wear resistant internal components to provide trouble-free operation and a long service life in a wide variety of industrial applications.
Non-contact ultrasonic flow meters for accurate, instantaneous mass & volumetric flow rate measurement of clean, non-aerated fluids in full pipes such as water, chemicals, and oils.
Electronics coupled with our mechanical flow meters deliver flow data in your preferred format, whether a local display, remote transmitter, or simple pickup.
Rotary Piston positive displacement flow meters are ideal for use in applications with very low flow rates and high pressures, such as offshore chemical injection applications.
AW-Lake's ProScan Turbidity Sensor is ideal for detection of material transitions, monitoring turbidity, and measuring product concentration, such as in dairy processing, juice processing, and brewing operations.
Flow meters used to monitor flow readings in fluid power systems are essential to properly monitoring your process, diagnosing system errors, and ensuring system performance. Our expertise in this area goes back decades with numerous flow meters for the hydraulics and fluid power system industry.
Oil & Gas
From corrosive subsea environments, offshore production platforms, onshore oil fields, or refineries we have the flow expertise to tackle these tough jobs. Difficult oil and gas flow metering challenges like high pressures, pulsating flows, corrosive media and harsh environments are our daily business.
Heavy Industrial
For challenging industrial environments like mining, steel & paper mills, and industrial vehicles we offer flow meters with easy flow paths to run thick materials, rugged meter bodies that handle extreme conditions and designs with high shock and vibration resistance.
Paints/Sealants/Adhesives
Automotive plants and their Tier-1 suppliers have been using AW-Lake flow meters for 40+ years to monitor usage of paints, coatings, adhesives, lubricants, and other fluids to maintain strict process control and manage operational costs. Flow meters in these areas must be capable of measuring a wide range of materials.
Water Cooling
Monitoring process cooling systems, including industrial cooling circuits and HVAC systems, helps maintain your plant or building efficiency, conserve energy, and improve the bottom line. Constant monitoring and control of these systems can easily be done using flow monitoring and control instrumentation from AW-Lake.
General Industrial
General industrial plants around the world have been using AW-Lake flow meters to maintain their process operations, plus they have integrated our meters as a vital part of their end product. Our broad portfolio of flow measurement equipment provides solutions to your paint operations.

Variable Area Flow Meters
Hydraulic Test Analyzer
Hydraulic Test Analyzer is used to diagnose faults in hydraulic circuits, determine horsepower and test for component wear and cylinder leakages. Two options are available: K Series (flow and pressure) and T Series (flow, pressure and temperature).
The Hydraulic Test Analyzer is used to diagnose faults in hydraulic circuits, determine horsepower, and test for component wear and cylinder leakage. Available in aluminum or stainless steel, this variable area flow meter offers complete troubleshooting and predictive maintenance so you can plan component repairs and strategized pump, valve, motor, and cylinder rebuilding. The compact and rugged design includes a complete hydraulic system test analyzer small enough to fit in a tool box. No batteries or electrical power are required to power this multi-measurement analyzer for simultaneous measurement of flow, pressure, and temperature.
A Complete Troubleshooting: System Style K consists of the flow meter, precision needle-type load valve and Glyerin filled gauge. Style T adds a Thermowell protected temperature gauge.
Planned Component Repairs: This system analyzer can be part of a predictive maintenance program, allowing strategized pump, valve, motor and cylinder rebuilding.
Compact and Rugged: The complete hydraulic system test analyzer is small enough to fit in a tool box and built to withstand rigorous industrial use.
Non-Electrical: Without batteries to fail or other electrical power connections to make, this system will provide a lifetime of simple and reliable operation.
Metric and US/Standard Measuring Ranges: These multi-measurement analyzers simultaneously measure flow in GPM and LPM, pressure in PSIG and Bar, and temperature in degrees F and C.
Unrestricted Mounting: Accurate measurements can be taken in any mounting orientation, without the straigh plumbing required with other analyzer systems.
Reverse Flow Option Available: Optional built-in reverse bypass mechanism prevents potential damage from misinstallation or backflow.
Measuring Accuracy:
Flow: ±2% of full scale Pressure: ±2.5% of full scale Temperature: ±2.5% of full scale
