Flow Measurement of

Gases & Clear Liquids

with Series 6001 & 6002
Measurement Principle
Variable area obtained by the displacement of a float in
a tapered borosilicate glass tube.

Applications
Commonly used in industry to measure the flow for:
• Water treatment
• Chemical processes
• Industrial refrigeration & air conditioning
• Research laboratories
• Gas burners
• Pilot plants
• Annealing furnaces

Benefits
• Easy Installation, no straight pipe required
• Low pressure drop
• Scaled directly in I/h, I/min, kg/h, %, etc.
• Adjustable limit switches, in all scales,
operated magnetically or with infrared light
• Flow measuring tube in borosilicate glass
• Steel construction, coated with Polyamide 11
• Connections in steel, EN 1.4404 (SS 316L), PVC,
PTFE, etc.
Operation Technical Data
The fluid flows up through the tapered tube forcing the float to • Connections:
