560 Flow Meter

560 SERIES 150MM

The 560 Series (6″) 150mm variable area flowmeters offer inherent simplicity, versatility, and economy in a precision flow instrument. The 150mm scale (6″) is particularly suited for metering critical flows in laboratories, pilot plants or process applications as well as controlling carrier gases used in chromatography.

Flow readings from the millimeter scale are converted to actual flow using the calibration chart provided with the flowtube. WestAir offers a wide variety of flowtube and float combinations to provide the optimum flow range for each application.
