Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FLOMEC from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy of FLOMEC oval gear flowmeters?
FLOMEC oval gear flowmeters, such as the OM series, are rated for accuracy of ±0.5% of reading across their specified flow range. This accuracy applies to fluids with viscosities within the meter's design parameters, typically from low-viscosity fuels to high-viscosity lubricants. The positive displacement design ensures repeatable measurement regardless of flow profile disturbances upstream.
Can FLOMEC turbine water meters handle high flow rates?
Yes, FLOMEC turbine water meters, like the TM40SQ9GMD model, are designed for flow rates from 60 gpm to 600 gpm. These meters use an acetal rotor and provide a 4-20 mA output for integration with control systems. Accuracy is ±3% of reading, suitable for bulk water measurement in irrigation, cooling, or industrial supply lines.
What output signals are available on FLOMEC electronic totalizers?
FLOMEC electronic totalizers, including those on oval gear meters like the OM004S513-822R5G, typically offer a 4-20 mA analog output for remote monitoring. Some models also include pulse outputs for totalization. The digital display shows flow rate and cumulative volume, with units configurable for gallons or liters depending on the model.
Are FLOMEC flowmeters suitable for viscous fluids like grease?
Yes, FLOMEC oval gear meters are specifically designed for viscous fluids, including grease, lubricants, and fuel oils. The OM040A001-822R5G and OM050A001-842R5G models are constructed with aluminum housings and can handle fluids with viscosities up to several thousand centipoise. The positive displacement mechanism minimizes slip, maintaining accuracy across a wide viscosity range.
What connection sizes are available for FLOMEC fuel transfer meters?
FLOMEC fuel transfer meters, such as the G2S20NQ9GMB and G2S10FQ9GMD, are available in connection sizes of 1 in flange and 2 in FNPT. These meters are designed for use with fuel transfer pumps and provide digital readouts in gallons. Maximum flow rates range from 50 gpm to 300 gpm depending on the model.
