For years, the Brooks Instrument legacy MT3601 and MT3602 metal tube rotameter models served various industrial applications with their distinct vertical inlet and horizontal outlet configuration. While these metal rotameters are now considered obsolete, Brooks understands the ongoing needs of its customers with existing installations. To support ongoing field requirements, we offer a retrofit solution that incorporates the 3809 indicators while preserving the original 3601/3602 connection geometry - vertical inlet and horizontal outlet. This retrofit is available as a special-order configuration.
Brooks Instrument "Specials" Customized Solutions
Our specials process enables us to accommodate a wide range of customer-specific requirements, particularly for replacing obsolete equipment. Given that we have the right business case in mind to justify making a customized solution, we are always happy to satisfy customer requirements and push the limits to solve solutions they couldn’t before. By leveraging this capability, we can continue to support legacy systems with minimal disruption to existing piping layouts.
The Angled Custom Meter Used with Horizontal Piping Systems
Additionally, we can provide another version of the retrofit, designed to further optimize space usage in applications with horizontal piping arrangement. This configuration features horizontal connections at both the inlet and outlet, reducing the overall vertical footprint of the installation as well as overall piping reconstruction. This option is ideal for applications where vertical space is constrained, and horizontal piping is necessary.
