MT3809 Series Metal Tube Variable Area Flow Meters

Widest temperature, pressure and process range. One proven flow meter.
Models 3809G / 3809G ELF / 3809G TFE Lined / 3810G

Engineered to work where you need it: Choose the MT3809 variable area flow meter for all the high-pressure, high-temperature VA flow measurement and control requirements on your next project.

Proven to deliver reliable, repeatable gas and liquid flow measurement and control in thousands of installed locations, the MT3809 is practical and economical, making it the “go-to” choice for Engineering Procurement Contractors (EPC) and major industrial facilities worldwide.

The MT3809G configuration features a digital LCD display with local operator interface, providing valuable process outputs such as totalization and alarm signals. It also lets users make parameter changes without removing the cover, which means changes can be made even in hazardous areas.
