ML04 flowmeter family from McCrometer

The ML04 Water Specialties propeller flowmeter family from McCrometer is available for line sizes ranging from 2 to 48 in., with corresponding flows from 40 to 35,000 gpm. An optional transmitter can provide 4-20 mA output, to indicate either current flow rate or totalized flow volume for use with a larger control or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems.

Using a versatile flanged-end spool configuration, the ML04 family features measurement accuracy ofvailable.
