POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT FLOW METERS
The Flow Technology line of positive displacement flow meters (pd meters) utilize two patented impellers (gears) to measure precise volumes of liquid that pass through the flow meter as the gears rotate. These flow meters are specifically designed to accurately measure thicker fluids such as resins, polyurethanes, adhesives, paints, and various petrochemicals.
DC-I SERIES
Designed for the industrial process market
The patented Flow Technology DC-I Series positive displacement flow meters are ideal for a wide variety of liquid flow applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, paints, resins, petrochemicals, lubricants, fuels, polyurethanes and adhesives. These flow meters are both highly accurate and easily adaptable to most industrial applications.
