FLOMEC
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FLOMEC from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between FLOMEC turbine flowmeters and FLOMEC oval gear flowmeters?
FLOMEC turbine flowmeters use a rotor that spins in proportion to flow rate, making them suited to lower-viscosity fluids such as water, fuel, and light chemicals. They are available with FNPT or spigot connections and typically offer +/-1% to +/-3% accuracy. FLOMEC oval gear flowmeters are positive displacement devices that trap a fixed volume per rotation, which makes them better suited to higher-viscosity liquids and applications where the fluid provides some lubrication. Selection depends on fluid viscosity, required accuracy, and whether the process fluid is compatible with the rotor or gear materials offered.
What output signals do FLOMEC electronic flowmeters provide?
Many FLOMEC electronic flowmeters in the 3G Electric catalog provide a 4-20 mA output for transmission to PLCs, data loggers, or control systems. Models with digital displays show volume in liters or gallons locally. The 4-20 mA signal allows the meter to be integrated into existing process control loops without additional signal conditioning. Buyers should confirm the output type against the specific model code, as some units are supplied with totalizer-only indication and others include both local display and analog transmission.
What connection sizes and materials are available in FLOMEC inline turbine flowmeters?
FLOMEC inline turbine flowmeters with totalizers are available with FNPT connections from 1/2 in through 4 in, and with spigot connections in sizes such as 1/2 in and 1-1/2 in. Body materials include PVC and stainless steel depending on the model. Rotor materials include PVDF and acetal. For example, the TM40NQ9GME has a 4 in FNPT connection, PVC body, and acetal rotor with a flow range of 60 to 600 gpm. Material selection should be based on fluid compatibility and operating temperature.
What accuracy can be expected from FLOMEC fuel transfer meters?
FLOMEC electronic flowmeters designed for fuel transfer, such as the G2S15NQ9GMB, are rated at +/-0.75% accuracy with a maximum flow rate of 100 gpm and 1-1/2 in FNPT connections. These units use stainless steel housings and are intended for fuel transfer and dispensing applications. Accuracy figures are typically stated under specified reference conditions, so actual performance depends on installation, fluid properties, and flow rate relative to the meter's rated range.
How does 3G Electric support FLOMEC product selection and ordering?
3G Electric lists FLOMEC meters, totalizers, and transmitters with manufacturer part numbers, connection sizes, accuracy ratings, output types, and material specifications at the line-item level. Buyers can match existing FLOMEC model codes to identify replacements or specify new installations. 3G Electric ships globally and handles order processing and logistics. For technical questions about a specific FLOMEC model, the catalog data provides the flow range, temperature limits, and material details needed to verify compatibility before purchase.
