Designed for direct read flow rates,
the FLD Series rotameter is a
precision instrument embodying the
inherent simplicity, versatility and
economy of the classical rotameter.
It is particularly suitable for
metering carrier gases in
chromatography, indicating and
controlling gases in manufacturing
processes, liquid and gas
measurement in laboratories, pilot
plants, flow and level indicating, etc.
Shipped completely assembled,
flow meters include standard
mounting fittings in a choice of
materials, side plates, thick
protective magnifying front shield
and back plate, built-in control
valve, and flow tubes. Panel
mounting style is convertible to
bench mounting through the use of
the optional acrylic tripod, FLTR-1.
The tripod has a built-in spirit
leveler and leveling screws.
Meters come with built-in 6 turn
needle valves, high precision
metering valves with “non-rising
stems” 16 turn, or with no valves.
The higher cost of the high
resolution valves is justified
whenever high sensitivity control
and resolution are desirable—
particularly in conjunction with
metering tubes of very low flow
rates. Generally, for gas metering it
is recommended that valves are
positioned at inlets (bottom) for
liquids valves may be positioned
either at inlets or outlets (top).
For vacuum services, valves
must be mounted at outlets. If
unspecified at the time of ordering,
meters will be shipped with valves
mounted at the inlets.

† All dollar amounts on this site are shown in US currency.
Note: “G” suffix denotes glass float, “ST” suffix denotes 316SS float, “C” suffix denotes carboloy float and “S” denotes sapphire float. For units without valve, add suffix “-NV” to model number and subtract $10 for aluminum; subtract $13 for for 316SS. 1. Minimum flow rate is 10% of the maximum rate shown. 2. For 16 turn, high resolution non-rising stem valve for 150 mm rotameters, add suffix “-HRV” to model number and add $50 for aluminum units and $100 for stainless steel units. (OPTIONS SHOWN IN THIS "NOTE" ABOVE ARE PRICED IN US$)
Ordering Example: (1) FLDN3501ST 6 turn valve stainless steel unit, with 316SS float, range of 1.6 scfm nitrogen = $247.00
