Gear Meters

Gear meters specifically spur gear, are ideal for low flow rates, viscous fluids, and measurement of flows involving starts and stops or pulsing.

Variable Area Meters

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.

Coriolis Mass Flow Meters

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.

Paddle Wheel Flow Meter

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 Flow Meters

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.

Turbine Flow Meters

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.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

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.

Flow Electronics

Electronics coupled with our mechanical flow meters deliver flow data in your preferred format, whether a local display, remote transmitter, or simple pickup.
