The Rate-Master line of direct reading precision flowmeters incorporates many unique user features at moderate cost. These low cost flowmeters are ideal for general use.

Easy to read design - The direct reading scale eliminates troublesome conversions. The scales are brushed aluminum, coated with epoxy and the graduations are on both sides of the indicating tube. Special integral flow guides stabilize the float throughout the range to keep it from hunting or wandering in the bore. The floate is highly visible against a white background.

Construction assures accuracy - All Rate-Master Flowmeter bodies are injection molded 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 to a stainless steel back bone into which pipe thread inserts are welded to absorb piping torque. Precision metering valves of brass or stainless steel (BV or SSV) are available as an optional extra and permit precise flow adjustments. For vacuum applications, Model RMA units are available with top mounted vavles (specify TMV). The small Series RMA models are accurate withint ± 4% of full scale reading; Series RMB within ±3%; large Series RMC within ±2%.

Installation is simple - The Rate-Master can be neatly panel mounted to keep flow tube centers in the same plane as the panel surface or surface mounted on the panel by means of tapped holes in the backbone. When through-panel mounted, the bezel automatically positions the instrument at the correct depth in the panel cutout. Surface mounted units can also be held in place by the piping. All mounting hardware plus installation and operating instructions are included.

Easy-to-Interchange bodies - Within a given Series Rate-Master flowmeter bodies can be instantly interchanged. Simply unplug the body from backbone and replace it with another. O rings provide a tight seal on inlet and outlet. Piping remains undisturbed. Interchangeability is useful where different scale ranges are sometimes required at the same location in the laborator or plant.

Cleaning is easy - To release the plastic flowmeter body from the stainless steel backbone, 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 and reassemble. It's that simple.

Adjustable Pointer Flags Red lined pointer flags provide quick visual reference to a required flow level. Made of clear plastic, they snap into place inside the bezel and slide to the desired level.

Top Mounted Metering Valves Same precision construction for vacuum applications. RMA models only.     Specials Special ranges, scales, mounting arrangements, etc. are available on special order or in OEM quantities.
