FLOW
The Rate-Master® flowmeter line of direct reading precision flowmeters incorporatesmany unique user features at moderate cost. These low cost flowmeters are ideal forgeneral use.
Easy to read design — The direct reading scales eliminate troublesome conversions. Thescales are brushed aluminum, coated with epoxy and the graduations are on both sides ofthe indicating tube. Special integral flow guides stabilize the float throughout the rangeto keep it from hunting or wandering in the bore. The float is highly visible against a whitebackground.
Construction assures accuracy — All Rate-Master® flowmeter bodies are injectionmolded of tough, clear, shatter-proof polycarbonate plastic around a precision tapered pin.The result is accurate and repeatable readings. The single piece plastic body is mounted toa stainless steel back bone into which pipe thread inserts are welded to absorb pipingtorque. Precision metering valves of brass or stainless steel (specify BV or SSV on order)are available as an optional extra and permit precise flow adjustments. For vacuumapplications, Model RMA units are available with top mounted valves (specify TMV). Thesmall Series RMAmodels are accurate within ±4% of full scale reading; Series RMB within±3%; large Series RMC within ±2%.

Installation is simple — The Rate-Master® Flowmeter can be neatly panel mounted tokeep flow tube centers in the same plane as the panel surface or surface mounted on thepanel by means of tapped holes in the backbone. When through-panel mounted, the bezelautomatically positions the instrument at the correct depth in the panel cutout. Surfacemounted units can also be held in place by the piping. All mounting hardware plusinstallation and operating instructions are included.
Easy-to-Interchange bodies — Within a given Series Rate-Master® flowmeter bodiescan be instantly interchanged. Simply “unplug” the body from backbone and replace it withanother. “O” rings provide a tight seal on inlet and outlet. Piping remains undisturbed.Interchangeability is useful where different scale ranges are sometimes required at thesame location in the laboratory or plant.
Cleaning is easy — To release the plastic flowmeter body from the stainless steelbackbone, just remove four screws. Pipe thread flow connections remain undisturbed.Remove the slide cover and the plug ball stop, clean the flow tube with soap and water andreassemble. It’s that simple.
