GT1600 Glass Tube Flow Meters
Simple, rugged design for moderate accuracy requirements. Replacement for GT1000, GT1300 & Full-View® models.
The GT1600 Series glass tube VA flow meters are a NEW family of meters with a rugged design for long-lasting performance with low and high-flow gas and liquid applications where viewing the process is important. These versatile and economical meters are for general use in applications with moderate metering accuracy requirements — typical accuracy ranges are 1% to 10% full scale, depending on the model selected. They are ideal for purge type service, seal oil systems, bearing lubrication and cooling water indication.
The GT1600 Series flow meters are configurable to retro-fit existing Brooks Instrument GT1000, GT1300 and Full-View® 1100 Series meters (models 1110, 1114, 1140, 1144).
Features
- Configurable to retro-fit GT1000, GT130x and Full-View® models
- 316 stainless steel frame, polycarbonate safety shield and 316/316L dual certified stainless steel process fittings
- Process connections can be rotated 360°, 180° viewing window, panel or wall mount option
- Alarms for high and low-flow (optional for all flow ranges); Purchase at time of order or add it in the field
- Choose from multiple accuracy levels
- Flanged or threaded connections available (horizontal and vertical)
- Adjustable scale to compensate for process variation
Applications
- Industrial processes
- Pharmaceutical production
- Chemical manufacturing
- Burner control
- Water treatment and distribution systems
Benefits
- Premium materials of construction ensure safety, indoor and outdoor durability
- Easy installation and viewing at any angle
- Monitor critical flow conditions with optional alarms
- No power required; reduces installation cost and provides flow measurement in hazardous areas
- Easy in-situ maintenance: Clean or replace tube & float without removal from the process piping
- Optional integral valve minimizes connections reducing leak points
